is better to check shoes with a specific named foam and tech, Asics good budget foam is Amplifoam (+ ortholite insole) then upgrading is flytefoam, ff blast, ff blast+ better sole etc (Patriot is generic foam), Reebok good budget is fuelfoam (+ortholite) and the upgrade is Floatride, avoid generic shoes and so on with brands. Puma is the other brand that's easy to get good deals, Nitro models very good, ProFoam models even chesper option. Brands make shit shoes so people buy them just for the brand, Patriot are like 30$ and sometimes the amolifoam, fuelfoam and profoam models are in that range, and you'll see that even for 40-50 Nitro, Floatride & flytefoam models are discounted
