Before I saw your replies about trail shoes not being durable enough for day trekking, I bought some Altra Lone Peaks (following a recommendation). However, they have a fault on the heel which means I will have to return them, so, based on your feedback I think I will just revert to my boots...
I've used Inov8, Merrell, Salomon, Altras for years, regularly get 1000km+ out of a pair.
Sportshoes.com usually have a good selection at reasonable prices; once I've found a make/ model that I like I'll usually stock up in the autumn/ winter when prices drop.
Would never wear boots again excepting when there's snow.
