I am looking for a durable brand of running shoes. I am a relatively new runner with a few extra pounds (5'10" and 210 lbs.). I have flat feet, which from my reading means I should be looking for a stability or motion control shoe. I average between 6 and 20 miles a week, but am looking to increase mileage as soon as the rainy season and the flooding is over. Is there a brand that is particularly durable or longer lasting than others?

Brooks have a good reputation for the heavier runner - I'd check them out, along with Asics. Good general purpose shoes are Saucony. I run a lot in Nikes, Adidas and Reebok, but I only run in flats so that wouldn't be much good for you.
I thought if the best of all possible worlds would be to find a pair of shoes that both fit and would last.
Well sure. But if you're running something like 50 miles a month in these shoes, you should be able to get six months or more out of just about any model, any brand. It's not worth worrying about whether you _might_ get an additional month or two out of some different pair which doesn't feel as good or work as well for you.
