Yep my trail favourites too.

You’re gonna just have to try some and find those that *you* like that perform and last the way *you* want. I like Terrex Swift waterproof grip (Continental sole). Great support. Have had three pair. Adidas replaced one for free because the sole separated. But, in general, they didn’t last very long. I like Salomon Speedcross 5. Not great for wide feet though. Lasted longer than Terrex and lighter. If you toe drag, you’ll easily wear a hole. I may buy another pair if hit a sale. Nike Pegasus Gore-Tex Trail. Super light, great waterproof. Lasted well, especially for the super light feel. Not as much lateral support as some others. Toe tread eventually separated. Extended life via shoe-goo. Would definitely buy on sale.

Salomon Speedcross 5 or 6 are trail running, waterproof shoes that work nicely for DG. The fit tends to be somewhat slim, so best to try them on for proper sizing, which could be a number different than your norm.

I've had a pair of solomon speedcross 3 for about 10 years that I've been in love with. With a good pair of socks I think they're pretty good for the winter.

i’m currently on a solo trip in Türkiye and I’ve been doing 15k+ steps everyday, on hilly roads too and I’ve had absolutely no feet/ankle or knee pain which I typically had in the past. They’re not the cutest, but I’m really just wearing jeans or stretchy pants, so they don’t ruin any outfits either

Love mine. i have skinny feet so they work well. I love the firm stable feel of them, especially on steep techy runs through rocks and roots, and the grip is great in the mud and snow.

I find the Salomon Speedcross to be really narrow. I have skinny feet and i have never had a blister any version of them. I have tried other Salomon models and had the same problems you listed but the Speedcross are almost too narrow. They are awesome too for wet, rooty, rocky tech trails, grip is awesome.
