womens asics gel frantic 5

So, my husband had great intentions and purchased me a new pair of running shoes - Asics GEL Frantic 5. While it's a great looking shoe I don't think it's the RIGHT shoe. I broke the smalest bone in the body - which happens to be located in the ball of the foot, about 10 years ago. To this day it still gives me issues if I dont wear shoes with proper support in that area. I'm a new runner and am currently running about 20 miles/week. I'm working on increasing that distance as I'm working towards running a half marathon in November and January.

 

Anyone have these shoes? Thoughts? The shoes I was/am looking at purchasing are the Asics GEL Nimbus 12 - the felt great when I tried them on - but $125 is pretty steep and a little more than I really want to spend.

 

 

Thanks!!
