Best Shoes for Women

I had good experience with Asics 20xx series, now 21xx series. I ran in them for several years, until I switched to cushioned shoes without any stability features (Mizuno Riders, Asics Nimbus). I still use Asics DS Trainer for racing. Shoe choice is a very individual thing, you have to try several brands and styles and see what works. I would go to a good running store with a decent return policy. They should be able to recommend shoes similar to Alchemy in feel and function, and maybe they will let you return them within a week, if the shoes give you grief. The other option is to stock up on Alchemy before they are gone - buy like, 10 pairs. Good luck!
