You should always replace the stock insoles with something designed for your foot and the type of running you’re going to do. I used to use Greenfeet, don’t know if they’re still considered a good insole, or if there’s significantly better at the same price range. But get some.
It sounds like you’re landing too hard, maybe overpronating/bouncing too much, causing that pain in your shins and toe; but without seeing your stride I’m flat guessing.
If you have a HS nearby with X-C or track team, try to talk with the coach. Maybe he/she could look at your stride.

I love HOKAs. Aesthetic and extremely comfortable. But that's me, to each their own.. running shoes to me are always trial and error.
New Balance has some good ones as well.
