Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

Has anyone had any luck buying department store running shoes made by brand names (Asics, New Balance)?

I've been wearing Asics Cumulus 10's for about 2 years now ( bought like 10 pairs for $35/each on eastbay after Bing Cash Back) and before that the Brooks Glycerin model.

Anyways, I run around 80 miles/week and go through shoes like crazy. I supinate (land on the outside of my foot)so I actually wear through the rubber on the shoe before the cushioning is 'flat'

I'm considering to start buying shoes from Kohl's (as I get 30% off with my Kohl's credit card), making shoes around $35/pair instead of around $80 or so after coupons for a high level shoe.

I'm not injury prone, I need a neutral shoe, and I've run in some pretty crazy uncomfortable shoes before (I was product tester for a few years)

I used to buy shoes from Kohl's all the time. Back and forth between Asics and Adidas. Definitely can get great deals, but not going to be the high-end, performance models. Now I buy off the internet, looking for deals on previous years' shoes that I know I like.

I"m having trouble finding even last years models though for less than 60. Did you feel that it was really worth the jump?

I'm not new to running at all - this is my 9th track season, I'm just trying to save a significant portion of my monthly expenditures, if possible.

I thought landing on the inside and rolling out is supinating? I will happily accept flaming/mocking if I am wrong.
