I’m using my MTC for all but the sloppiest of trails. Wide, stable, cushy, poppy.

I wear Merrell MTL MQMs exclusively, lol... Hiking, running, working, whatever... Got three pairs on a crazy sale and rotate them. Unless I have to deal with a snowstorm or need a hard toe shoe for work they're all I wear.

I’m a big fan of Merrell MTL MQM trail runners. I have several pairs and wear them daily as well as hiking. They’ve held up to pretty intense abuse, are plenty light, and are amazing on rocky trails.

Over the years I’ve worn trail runners from Merrill and Salomon, or standard running shoes from Nike and NB. A comfortable fit was the main criteria. Even on wet ground I’d rather have fast drying sneakers than boots.

Just came back from Val Gardena area (Col Rodella/Antermoia/Vajolet Towers). I used my Merrill Trail runners but packed a pair of black Rothy Mary Janes for pre and post in Munich and Innsbruck. They pack up flat, go anywhere and are comfy for walking. Highly recommend if it's not too late!
