Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I literally have three pairs of the same color Saucony excursion tr16's. I wear a 12.5 & got them on Amazon for like $65/ea
Saucony bud, have had their gortex and breathable versions of I’m pretty sure they are called Excursions. Both great value for the money.
Arizonan here. I used to hike in Saucony Excursions for years, until I needed a wider toe. Then I went to Topo Mountain Racers. Saucony runs about $70 if you're looking for something that's in the lower range of cost. I saw a few people mention Altra Lonepeaks. Something to be aware of with those: if you wear a shoe with a lift in the heel normally, zero drop shoes may mess with your calf muscles. I tried them as a few people I know love them as well, but I felt like an old lady getting off my normal training trails. It should have been my red flag on those shoes. Not too long after gettign them, I strained my calf muscle and was our for weeks. It doesn't happen to everyone, but zero drop shoes are known to possibly cause calf strains.

Spacious toe box, but cushioning and durability are polarizing.

La Sportiva

Great technical grip, but unstable for some, with sizing issues.

Nike

Versatile for non-technical trails, but poor on wet, technical.

Mount to Coast

Lightweight, cushioned; but lacing and underfoot protection are issues.
