I definitely spent more on my running shoes. I used to have some that were in the $60 range, but they weren't good enough. Getting some really good shoes and inserts is one of the things that made me into a runner. Before that I figured I wasn't built for running, that that was why I got shin splints and suffered foot pain. It turns out I just needed to invest in the right equipment.
It might be worth it to go to a store where runners work. Have them watch you run and make suggestions about the shoe and possibly orthotics that would be best for you personally.
