Wat brand or cross country shoe worked the best for you?

i have a pair of nikes and these shoes sucked so bad. i bought them at sports authority and i just picked out this pair. when i run, i dont get tired AT ALL. my legs (particulalry my calves) start to get sore and get hurt. i heard that i need new shoes that arent nike since they use cheap material. i had these shoes for over a year and run alot. these shoes only felt good for about the first 2 weeks and then they started to suck. wat bran ds would be good to buy, in your opinion and how much they cost. i live in south san diego, california and planning to go to Movin Shoes, since they are experts at running shoes
