the whole "getting fit" thing is overblown
you should be able to tell if a shoes feels good on your own foot better than any "expert" (read: 18 year college kid at shoe store)
go to store, try them all on, any decent running store should have a treadmill, run in them, and notice any hot spots or rubbing or see how you like the return

I have been running in Brooks the past few years and really like them, but the only answer is to get fitted and try them on. Fleet feet, Varsity Sport, etc will evaluate your foot and bring out different shoes for you to try. My first time at Varsity Sports I probably tried on 6-7 pairs of shoes.
Walking shoes are also not the same as running shoes, but whatever. I have a pair of running shoes that i replace every year, and the old ones become my walking shoes. Old walking shoes become yard work shoes.

ProTip: Have the sales guy time you running down the aisle and back for each shoe

You need to go to a specialty store and get fitted.
Different feet require different types of running shoes.

I walk a lot at work and the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever had are my Hoka Bondi’s.
There’s a reason that 1/4 of the people that work in my hospital wear them.

I personally love the Saucony Kinvara, but lots of people will probably tell you Hoka with some Brooks here and there

Hoka for me and Brooks for the wife - just have to find what fits your feet the best.
Also some company's will change their shoes - - Hoka did this to one of their lines about 3 years ago (made it slightly heavier and a minuscule heal height adjustment). Together it made it uncomfortable for me to run.
Basically, listen to your body even when using shoes you are used to.

It’s subjective. But Brooks, Asics, Mizuno and Adidas all make good running shoes.
I’m a Brooks and Adidas fan. Mizuno’s are too stiff for me. But it’s about finding what you like.

Man a lot of y’all are brainwashed. The vast majority of people need neutral shoes without extra padding. They’ve done multiple studies that show specialty shoes have no impact on injury rates. There was actually a study a few years ago that showed the maximal padding shoes actually increased load and increased injury probability.
Your running form and mechanics are more important than the shoe. If you have bad form, you could have $1,000 shoes and you will still get hurt. Correct your form before you spend a bunch of money on shoes. Some dude at a store watching you walk 5 steps has no idea what shoe you need.

Most of this is true, but it does help to get an initial fitting to make sure you're not an extreme over/under pronater. Also helps to lose weight and fix your form, as you said, since both of those will make injuries super likely
