Buy the cheaper shoes if they fit well and meet her needs. It is important for Allie to prioritize functionality and comfort over brand name or price. As long as the cheaper shoes are supportive and comfortable for her runs, she will still be able to train effectively and possibly even join her school’s track team. It's not necessary to spend more money just to have the same brand as her friends or the track star in the ad.
