If you want to cut down on injury, try landing on the front of your foot while running, instead of your heel. Landing on your heel causes your body to stop almost completely on impact and greatly decreases your durability.

Where the hell are you getting this information? Might want to re-check that.
OP: Do you overpronate or underpronate? (Look at the bottom of your shoes, if the wear patterns on the forefoot is more worn on the outside, then you underpronate, if the wear pattern is on the inside, than you overpronate. Most people overpronate or pronate.) Also, do you have an high arch? or flat feet? or just an normal arch. Depending on how you run and your arch type, I will be able to answer your question.
btw, nike shox are like the worst running shoe imo.
