Usually this only happens when the shoe is too wide in the heel especially. Like I said before, blisters = movement.
If you are a medium over pronator, I'm not sure why he'd put you into the Foundations.
Without looking at your feet, I'm unable to say for sure what last fits your foot shape best, nor how much stability you need... But I'd say look at the Kayanos, 3010/3020 or even the Kinseis.
If you can find some, I'd say try a pair of Saucony on. I've found the heel to be considerably tighter than Asics (good thing) yet retaining the wider mid foot and toe box. Try the Paramount or the Guide.
Let me know if you have any more questions!

Regarding the Guide - I was in the market for my first pair of "real" running shoes and went to a local place. Did the whole watching me walk deal, and suggested I was a moderate overpronator. Tried on about ten different pairs of shoes and the Guide 4 felt best (the narrow heel you mentioned worked well for me).
After a couple of short runs, they fit well but damn do they seem to have a lot of cushioning. Do running shoes tend to settle down a bit after some miles? Maybe it's just something I have to get used to. I was experiencing some knee pain with the shoes I was using previously, which has somewhat lessened.
