Some Nike running shoes. I was already told that was a bad decision, and I was recommended Sauconys.

A trainer at my gym watched me run on the treadmill and told me I had a good stride and good arm movements for the most part, but that I land way too heavily compared to how much I weigh.

Nikes aren't the best, Sauconys would be better. Although I've never owned a pair so I don't have personal experience with them.

I always recommend Brooks. I have the Ghost 7s and love them.

Try running on the road rather than the treadmill and see if that has an impact as well.

Thats like recommending someone a Toyota.

Yeah, Toyota makes a good vehicle but the type of Toyota will dictate how effective it is based on the need. A Corollo is not a Camry which is not a Rav 4 which is not a Tundra.

Like Toyota, Saucony makes alot of different models. Whether or not they make one you need and like you need to find out at a running store. Go to varsity sports, tell them what you said here and you'll be fine.
