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

What others have already suggested--going to a store that specializes in running--and taking a few mins to figure out what you need is the best option. From there, the previous generation or two of shoes that fit your needs can offer great cost savings.

All that being said, if you are just looking for a quick answer / run of the mill shoe, that is a good value I'll throw out:

Nike Pegasus 39; A workhorse of a shoe that will take a lot of miles before you have to replace
Saucony Triumph or Saucony Kinvara which are, for me, a bit more comfortable but not quite as hard wearing

I want to try the shoe fit thing on a store, but I'm just worried the people there isn't actually knowledgeable and would just upsell me stuff.

If you go to a dedicated running store they’ll typically be very knowledgeable and want to help. If you go to a footlocker or champs style store they are trying to hit their sales goals, there is a difference (though not always true in every case). I would suggest going to a local running store and being clear with your intentions
