I've never really thought about my shoes much past "do they fit alright?" as I pretty much have paddles for feet and am lucky to even find shoes that fit me.
If you don't run that often or train to improve your times, you probably won't notice that much of a difference. A running shoe can really make or break you if you're serious about the sport. I learned that lesson when I bought a pair of New Balance 892's. After breaking them in they cut a hole so deep on the back of my heel that I still bleed when I run, and I had to eventually scrap them because my legs cramped so fucking bad I could barely make it past the first mile. When I went back to the Asics the problems were solved.
