New Balance is our brand of choice of our three growing girls.  The no-brand ones from some of the big box stores do not seem to last very long.  NB sells a shoe with a good stiff middle so the shoe isn't wobbling.  This is important for joint protection.  The big plus for us is that their shoes come in an array of widths -- and each of our 3 daughters has a different width foot.  Advice -- go through a number of shoes on Amazon and once you type in the exact size, and start picking colors, the prices can vary quite a bit.  This has been a consistently good brand for us.
