I've had a fair few pairs of trail shoes and its hard to recommend any, it seems to be purely down to personal taste. Different brands seem to suit some but not others. Currently running in a pair of Columbia's (not a popular brand for trail running, but picked up a cheap pair on wiggle). They're pretty light and pretty grippy. Love my new balance 110's, but they're pretty minimalist so not to everybody's taste.
Can't get on with salamons, the fit never seems quite right and although I've always run in asics road shoes, never found a pair of their trail shoes that I like.
Just try a load on but from personal experience, the more expensive ones aren't always the best.
