go to a varsity sports place and get fitted. The worst thing is a running shoe that doesn't fit right.
To be honest, they don't do a whole lot when fitting you for a shoe. They check to make sure you do or don't need a stabilization type shoe, and may make recommendations on what type of distance you are running. But if you aren't running that far, it's probably not that big of a deal. Everything after that is how it feels to you. You can easily find online how a shoe should fit you.
Now if you are running a marathon, and have no clue about what type of shoe to buy, I recommend spending some time with someone who knows. Terrible shoes had my knees iced up after every run. Good shoes and I never have an issue.

Why get fitted when he is not going to do any distance running?
Yeah, it's not good.
BilJ, running shoes are meant for low impact. HIIT is explosive, and you are harder on your feet and knees.
You need cross-training shoes.

Looking for something pretty light weight as most cardio is HIIT training type stuff, sprints, and the occasional box jumps
I rarely if ever do outside/treadmill long distance running.

Based on his goals after I re-read, probably worthwhile advice.
If someone is actually running, different story.

New UA cross trainers are pretty awesome. I loved Nike Free 5.0 trainer v4/weave, but not sure if the new version (v6) are any good.

And this. Or Merrell Trail Glove or Road Glove which is also a good choice.
Proper form in HIIT is much easier to attain in something less bulky.

Newton is my go-to right now.. Also I prefer LA Running Company to varsity sports

I run in Brooks now, but I think Newton is my next purchase. They just look like they would be good
