Brooks shoe you could try are the Glycerin 4. You should always consult a specialist running store when buying running shoes - and don't forget to take your othotics to the store when you are trying new shoes!
Cheers for the post Martin

Up and running in Bournemouth is the shop of choice at the moment

The Orthotics are designed for a neutral shoe so he recommended the Radius over the Glycerine as the heel is higher.

Did you get your shoes sorted out?
Orthotics can be such a nightmare to fit to the correct shoes!
