Switched to these Saucony shoes from my Addidas that had a much higher heel-to-toe differential.  I went from 12mm to 8mm.  It actually helped my plantar condition in the left foot.  I will be purchasing another pair before this year's style is dicontinued!  (They seem to change them every year as soon as I find one I like)
As far as colour - I have 2 pairs of the blue/black/orange but there are other colours if you prefer.  Although, the darker colour doesn't show the dirt as much.  I found that I needed the new pair after about 3 months of running 15-25 miles per week because the cushioning was breaking down and I had worn a significant amount of tread off them.
