I like Fleet Feet. They know shoes and will put you in one that will fit.

Do you think I should start running with the custom orthotics from my foot doc or go with the people at the running store?

Hard to say, it may be that the custom ones are not what you want for running.
Many, most even, people have a tight Achilles tendon, to the point where it is a deforming force and adversely impacts gait. I will often tell people to put a 1/4" lift in both shoes, depending on their complaint. If they look to be short on one side, put a lift in that shoe only.
