Those trail shoes don't look like they have a lot of cushioning. Maybe look at something like Brooks Ghosts. Go to a dedicated running shoe store and try on a bunch of shoes that have plenty of cushioning, and pick the one that feels the best on your feet! The surface you run on matters a good deal too, doing most of your running on dirt and grass would be great.
