you still may go through a trial and error period with brands and models

I agree with that. What I disagreed with was the statement:

trial and error are unfortunately your best way to find out what is best for you

Trial and error works after you've found out what you need. You can, unfortunately, trying the Reeboks, New Balance, and whatever else Honigs sells only to find out later that none of those shoes work for you because of your feet isn't the best way to go about things.
