What trail running shoes can you recommend?

The best thing to go is find a running store that will put you on a treadmill and watch how you run. You shoe selection should be made on the basis of how you move your feet, not the recommendation of other people. Different shoes compensate for whether you pronate, need a larger toe box, have higher arches, etc.

Fit, not brand, is the primary consideration.

I swear by New Balance. I can’t recommend an exact makes, but their trail shoes are comfortable and durable. I found other brands broke down too quickly or had weird things that I couldn’t feel in the store, but made running uncomfortable.

You can usually find a good price at any of the big department stores.

The ones I am using are Asics. I have not had good relations with that company before, but these shoes seem to be holding up well and meet the requirements you mention. I truly prefer Saucony but couldn’t find a trail runner from them (I’m in Australia)

DO NOT BUY NIKE! Their running shoes do not hold up. I always end up with bits of molded plastic coming off.

@swuesquire True. Nike isn’t as durable. But performance has been okay. At least as my basic running shoes.
