    Salomon trail runners for me also.
    I’ve tried heaps (Salomon, inov-8, Saucony etc.) and found the really light ones with thin soles don’t offer me enough cushioning from rocks underfoot and my feet hurt. Plus with very little rand they wear out or get damaged.
    I settled on the slightly heavier XA Pros, still only 440 grams with a decent toe box.
    Other decent options are the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor and Merrell Moab shoes)
    Be wary of published sizes as each brand varies quite a lot.
    The 1952 British expedition to Everest stated that one pound on your feet is worth five in you pack and this energy expenditure has been confirmed by exhaled gas analysis more recently.
