Don't skimp on your running shoes! Buying inexpensive shoes might work for a little while, but if you're truly going to get serious on running, might want to spend the money on some high quality kicks. First of all, going cheap might mean injuries to your feet, which will eventually travel up the body. First it will just be the feet, but after the initial injury, anything above the injury will try to compensate. That will mean knees will go next, and then hips, then your back. Don't let it get this far!
In Reno, we have the Reno Running Company. They perform a free gait analysis (you run 20 seconds on a treadmill with one of their neutral support shoes) to see what type of support your feet might need. It checks if you pronate your feet while running. It's not totally comprehensive as there are other things to look at, but if you're starting out, it's a great place to do so.
And with that said.. I'll leave you with this note from my new kicks:
