I've been meaning to buy some comfortable shoes for running, what would be good value options to look at?

Price Range is probably ~150usd

How can I measure those shoe preference criteria you have mentioned?

I think you’re above budget range at that amount

Things like pronation (do you feet roll in or out), arch height is probably something a speciality running store can figure out if you’re not sure. Toe box (width around the toes), heel drop (how much cushioning is below your heel) is a matter of preference for the most part.

All that said, they’re $160, but I really like the Fresh Foam X 1080v12 from new balance.

As others have said, you can have a massive range of excellent daily trainers to pick from in the price range. I'll throw out a recommendation, Saucony Ride 15. Great shoe and you'll find it at a low price at the moment as the 16 is out. They didn't change much going from 15 to 16 either.
