A few ppl have mentioned it but I have been running in the Salomons for over 4 years now. I've heard the complaints that they're on the heavier side but when you're already running at 250-260 lbs, I'll take the extra weight for extra support. They've never let me down for traction even in the muddiest of obstacle courses. One of my favorite aspects is the no-tie cinch system on their laces. Just pull it tight, tuck the excess into the little flap under the tongue and you're good to go. That being said I've never used any other shoe for trails, nor felt the need.
The S-Labs are a zero drop shoe if you want to have more of a minimalist feel. Same great traction; I would compare them to wearing a slipper with a rubber tire attached for tread.
