Hey, I also just started running again. My PB, six years ago, was 5k in 34 min (gotta start somewhere, right) and I'm aiming for the 30 min run now. I overpronate a bit and also look for shoes with a wide toe box. De back of my foot (heel?) is very narrow. I currently own an old pair of Saucony Liberty Iso and they have been great! But I'm from the Netherlands and they soak up every drop of rain (the goretex sounds good lol). Today I tried the Nike Structure 26 and the Pegasus 41. I really have to size up en the toebox isn't as wide as my Saucony's. I do like the feel of the Structure 26. I have now ordered the Adidas Supernova Rise 2. The are designed for comfort during running with a slightly wider toebox (I hope that's true) and they are said to be a neutral shoe with some support for overpronation. I am by no means an expert, but I do think when a shoe feels too snug, it probably is. Good luck on your search and keep it up with the baby, my kids are bigger en I'm only now starting to get back at it.

Another vote to try Nike Structure 26 or Structure Plus. I’ve been running in structures for years - they’re a bit clunky but are very good at the stability part. I’ve not tried the new models but they sound like a real step forward.

I have the structure 26s that just kind disappear on foot. Have also been enjoying bondi 9 as more cushioned option- is narrow at first, w/ warm upper.

If you just want a mileage workhorse, a Nike Structure 26 or Vomero 18 would be a good pick. They have higher drop (offloads calf), and at this point can be had for a pretty decent discount.

I regularly see Nike Structure for 70-80, good stability so perfect for getting back into it

I have the same issue and bought the Nike Structure. It has been a good shoe overall.

I am with you. I have always found nike the most comfortable brand. I trained in Nike Pegasus' when I was running in high school, now running on my own I train with Nike Structure's, but looking at trying on some pegasus 41s to see how they feel.

All 3 are quite narrow shoes so I wouldn’t recommend them. Supernova rise 2 wide toebox pero narrow sa mid. I’d recommend you get a free gait analysis sa kung san pinakamalapit sayo. But if di kaya, general reco ko is New Balance 1080, Hoka Arahi, Asics Novablast or Gel Nimbus, or Nike Pegasus or Structure. You don’t have to buy the latest model of the shoe if you’re on a budget. Kahit may Asics Novablast 5 na, I still recommend Novablast 4 to my friends kasi okay din naman tas mas mura or nakasale lagi kasi older version.
