I just got Adidas Supernova Trail shoes and I am in love! I have only worn Asics for the last couple of years but the extra ventilation mesh uppers was resulting in soaking wet feet. I wear a neutral shoe too.

When running on trails, I use cross-country spikes. You get great traction and light weight. Forget spikes, however, if much of your run is on pavement or rocky trails.

I use them as well, but more during the winter months. On long runs never. Not enough cushion. For a 10-12 miler sure thing!

Not to turn this into an Inov-8 discussion, but this may assist you, runnermom3. My only problem with the Flyrocs is I cannot get the shoe insert to stay in place. During a run it gradually shifts further and further to the back of the shoe, until my toes are all the way beyond it inside the shoe. I emailed them about why this happens and they stated it's because I have "low volume feet", and they suggested I get one of the additional inserts they sell. Since I can't get them online or in any store near me, I'm SOL in that regard. I need to go buy some rubber cement or something.

Otherwise I like them - too bad I haven't worn them in about 3 months because I'm lazy.
