Not quite what I was hoping for

I have a long history of foot trouble with frequent ankle sprains, a bout of RSD of the foot, and a history of plantar fasciitis. Unfortunately, I also *slightly* under pronate. I owned a pair of Saucony Guide 8s which I absolutely loved for daily walking. I'd read some reviews of these shoes and had high hopes, as I'd read they were good running shoes for walking. At first, they were cushion-y underfoot and felt good to walk in around the house, but did feel a little snug in the toe box. After walking a few miles, my toes started to become numb and I felt like the ball of my foot was being squished from the sides. My right foot is slightly bigger than my left, so it was much more pronounced in the right shoe. I added an insole (partly gel, with some arch support) to the right shoe and it only changed things slightly for me. Now that I've had the shoes for just over 2 months, walking anywhere between 2 and 4 miles at a time (every day), the soles have started to wear out! I'm so disappointed in these shoes and though I've been trying to love them - I just can't. My feet are very unhappy after wearing them for even a short period of time. I'm now looking to replace them with an entirely different brand of shoe....
