"the toebox is kinda narrow, I can't run more than 15 miles with them."
"I do have all three of the Salomons I mentioned, but also have and like the Merrell Long Sky 2 and their Agility Peak, which I'm wearing more these days because they have a wider toe box."

"The downside of trail runners to me (Solomans) was I would sometimes get foot bruises on sharp rocky ground. ... My Solomans had a rock plate (thank you for pointing out my omission), but I feel a big difference with my Murrell Moab's."
"I have noticed they fall short when it comes to any mid or slightly more than mid class scrambling. ... Current Salomon trail runners have to thick of a sole and cant feel rock well beneath them"
Salomon Sense Ride 5 SR meet your requirements. I use them for my one-shoe solution. Very light wt too. https://www.salomon.com/en-us/product/sense-ride-5-sr-li5592
Hello :) J'ai 3 paires : Hoka Speed Goat , Hoka Mafate et Salomon Sens Ride 5. Niveau souplesse et confort : les Hoka !
I just got a pair of Solomon Sense Ride 5 for $60 at Sierra Trading Post that seem pretty decent.
As a fellow haglunds dude.. my main long run/race shoes are nike wildhorse 8's. They don't have a vibram sole, but the toebox is wide-ish and the heel counters don't bother my heels. They have a high heel toe drop though. I also run in topo ultraventure 2's and salomon sense ride 5's. The sense rides don't bother my heels at all, but the toebox is kinda narrow, I can't run more than 15 miles with them.
I'm only speaking for myself here, but I prefer low stack shoes (peregrines, sense rides, lone peaks)
Fyi i talked to Salomon today trying to replace some defective Ultra Glide 2 and they said the 3 will not be released in the usa. Bummer. These were the closest I could ever find to my beloved Sense Ride 3’s.
Yeah I've gone to a shop to try them on. I've worn the Salomon Sense Rides before so going for that would be a safe bet. The other two models do also appeal to me as I'm interested to try Innov8's technology, but wasn't sure how comfortable that pair is on tarmac.
Sense Ride is the most comfortable, mainly because I've worn them before. My feet aren't used to Innov8's make and its relatively lower heel drop but I'm contemplating giving it a shot - only if this model is suitable for pavement to trail running though.
And Sense Ride, while we're on Salomon.
I always liked the Salomon Sense Ride. Very durable. Not a large lugged shoe.
Trail version of the brand you already like. But if that doesn't work, Salomons are usually a good bet if they fit. Ultra Glide, Sense Ride, or Genesis are all sort of all-rounders that for me feel close to road shoes.
I haven't tried any of those, but did try an earlier Peregrine (10 maybe), and didn't like it. Too "dead" and heavy for my liking. But the newer versions are better from what I've read. It could be worth a try, given how popular they are. I do have all three of the Salomons I mentioned, but also have and like the Merrell Long Sky 2 and their Agility Peak, which I'm wearing more these days because they have a wider toe box.
The answer is: it depends on the shoe. My Salomons shed mud pretty well (Ultra glide 2, Sense Ride 4, Thunder Cross), as do my Saucony Xodus Ultras. I wouldn't recommend either the Sense Rides or the UGs for very muddy conditions.
