Not to mention that the dates for acceptance at the various magnet and private schools are all different, leading to having to make a commitment before you've heard from all of them.

Good luck. If it helps hearing from the other side of the process, my kids who went to McNair and their friends who went to the county schools all got well prepared for college and are doing great!

For my feet was told to look for round toe box so my feet don’t get smushed or rub together. Soft mesh upper and good arch support.

Some of the models I was told to try out Hoka Bondi, Brooks Ghost, New Balance(those grey ones that lots of Dads and Grand parents rock lol) and a brand called Topo... I forget the others that am suppose to look out for.

Any specific brand you looking for?

Besides Foot Locker, I usually go to Kicsclusive in the mall or Magic Sneaker in Journal Square

I would 2nd Blink. I used to be a member there (twice). And both times I was on the cheaper plan. But I signed up in person. No idea, if they changed things or you just have to do it in person. I eventually cancelled (for the 2nd time), so obviously there were reasons it didn't work out for me, but for what you want, this sounds like the way to go. As for World Boxing Gym, your instincts are correct. It's too expensive for what it is and what you want. I would never travel to go there. It's only worth it, if you're paying for convenience...aka you live a quick walk away from it.
