The best thing to do is ask your foot. Every shoe is different.
Weary is the path that does not challenge.

I'd suggest going to a run store and have them do a gait analysis, preferably barefoot on a treadmill video taped.

I'd definitely recommend getting fit for shoes before buying any.
However, based on my very good experience with Pearl Izumi running shoes (been through a couple pairs of Syncro Floats in the last year), I would recommend finding a store that sells them (there aren't many) and see if any on their line might happen to fit you well. Like the Zoots, most PI shoes are seamless on the inside. I don't do the sockless running thing, but I still enjoyed NEVER getting a hint of a blister, despite finishish a marathon and an ironman (plus all the training involved).
But yeah, go see a shoe outfitter and listen to them, not me.

NEVER, ever, ever, buy a shoe because of looks or what's cool or because Sub 10 IM pros wear them.
See the folks at a reputable RS and have them check you out...Check out some local running clubs too...my running club, for example, has a very inexpensive gait/form analysis opportunity several times a month. Talk to folks who can actually look at your foot and help in your decision.
Finding the right shoe takes time and can be an ongoing process as companies change their shoes...

Hey, I'm looking for new running shoes and was pretty set on getting a set of mizuno wave inspire 4, but then I saw the zoot ultra. Are the zoots suitable for everday running, or just for race day? Also, what other shoes would you recommend.
