It's pretty simple. You just have to increase your calories from your norm. So if you usually take in about 2000 calories on a typical day, bump that up to 2500. That's the only way to gain weight. I guess the hardest part is just keeping up with how much you've eaten. There are apps for that though, if you have a smartphone.
Also, if you start working out on a regular basis, you'll gain about 10-15 lbs within the first few months. It's not really visible weight though.

For those of you who don't know what kind of foot you have (high arch, low arch, neutral) this site will at least direct you to the kind of shoe that's best for you.

Or just go to a local shop that specializes in running. Fleet Shop is where I went today. They measure you, then watch you run/walk. Then they give you a few options that fit your biomechanics. Great place.
