Yes they would. Your pair of NB shoes might work great for someone else with a different foot and stride than yours, but they obviously dont work for you.

Go to a running shoe store and have them take a look at your walk/jog/run. I went to get some new shoes because my Adidas I had for about 6 years were getting beat up. I went to a place called the Running Center and the girl asked me what I wanted in a shoe, then brought out 6 different shoes for me to try on. It took a while to try them all on and run in the store, but its worth the time.

I ended up getting some Asics gt2130 for $95 and they have been great even thought Im not much of a runner anymore. I wear them as every day shoes and they are comfortable to walk around in all day. The other thing I liked about them is that they werent bright green or too flashy like some other shoes were.
