There were a few things I did to overcome similar pain, you already seem to be doing all of these. A doctor also told me not to run and just walk - I simply refused to be limited.

1. Shoes, regardless of brand I had myself fitted at a two running store that had a 30 day return policy. This allowed me to try four different brands & model of shoes in my real world, not just the store's. I finally settled on two different pairs.

2. Stretching/Warming up before each run.

3. Running form, Stay light on the feet. I keep reminding myself of the running form to maintain.

I did a half marathon on my own and have done 5K and 10Ks in organized events. No problem after the run as long as I stick with points 1, 2 and 3.
