ANy thoughts from you experienvced runners out there? I don't think she has any pronation issues, I think he just wanted her to have a high quality cushion. He specifically said to avoid Nike and Adididas, which I thought was interesting.
Advice appreciated.

Tell her to go to a running shoe store...
They can put her on a device and see what type of shoes best fit her gait, pressure points, etc....
