Trail shoes are used for running on the ground that is not smooth or made of asphalt. They are used to getter better traction for rougher terrain for a safe run.
According to ConsumerSearch, the best reviewed trail running shoes are the Saucony ProGrid Peregrine at $90, the Merrell Trail Glove and women's Merrell Pace Glove at $110, and the New Balance Minimus Trail at $110. Note that each of these is for a different type of terrain.
Trail shoes are shoes for running in rough terrain. They are bulky and heavy I do not recommend running with them in places were there is not rough terrain.
The best trail running shoes have nylon puncture protection in the sole. Depending on where you are doing your trail running, better shoes will either have crampons or the ability to install them.
A regular pair of running shoes should be sufficient for trail running. But, if you are an avid trail runner, then you can find a pair of specific shoes called the Brooks Adrenaline ASR5.
Nike is a great brand and their trail shoes are good quality.Nike have their own website where you can search find and order the shoes of your choice.
Personally, I rarely use trail shoes in a trail race because they are generally heavier, bulkier, and stiffer than road shoes. I often race with a lightweight road shoes. Another advantage of those is that your foot is lower to the ground, lower center of gravity, which gives you more lateral stability and a better feel for the trail. Other people I know, however, will use trail shoes even when racing on a smooth dirt path. On the roads, I run in the least supportive shoe possible - I have good feet and a good stride. If you need supportive road shoes, you could benefit from a more supportive trail shoes.
