I think the key (aside from getting the shoe for the correct surface), is that it fits her foot well. For example, my D complained of foot and ankle pain all the time in one particular brand, even in their more expensive models. She has had zero complaints after we switched to another brand, even in the lower price point models (~$80-100). These are 2 major soccer brands in wide usage. So I think it often depends on what works best for the individual player, can't assume that more expensive is better.

For my D, the turf shoes hurt her feet, plantar fasciitis. No support at all. Switched back to wearing grass cleats on the turf (good ones with arch support - unfortunately the $200+ ones) and it went away immediately. Before the question is asked- she does not have flat feet or any other podiatry issues.

Same issue. We just changed out the paper thin "insoles" on the $65 cleats with and insole that had heel and arch support. Solved the problem.
