Brooks Adrenalines are ace, I've been through shitloads of pairs of them. Good combination of support/cushioning and responsiveness for the money. Also, Brooks is an american brand, not kiwi.
But running shoes are a very personal thing. Some people swear by New Balance, but i can't stand them. Some people only run in Nikes (Bowerman series only plz), and hate Asics. I love Asics Kayano (they seriously feel like they were custom made for me) and Brooks Adrenaline/Trance.
Hippy: start running on a non-road surface (grass, trail, path), if after a couple of weeks you're getting little niggles in your feet/achilles/shins it's a sign that your shoes may be on the way out (accounting for the usual pains associated with starting running and using unfamiliar muscles). I would say a pair of shoes last me about 1000km, I weigh 73kg and i'm pretty efficient.
Bring your shoes to Rolla league on weds and I can have a look as well.
