+1 for Salomon Speedcross. I've used three types of trail runners for hunting tops (Kawekas, Kaimanawas) and bush (add Kaimais etc). Innov8 Mudclaw G260 Developed in Manchester for trail...

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...

Yep, I do a fair amount in trail runners. Know their limits and they are great. I'll use the boots if its scree slopes, snowy/icy, nicer to kick the side of the foot in and holds its edge better.

Not great in tussock or farm fringes but real good for the valley floor.
