Trail Shoes?

Hi All,
I'm running almost exclusively trails nowadays, which is pretty awesome for me, but as the seasons turn I need to invest in some Spring trail shoes. I have some Adidas Kanadias which are pretty good for the heavy duty winter months, but they feel a bit too clunky, a bit too grippy for the spring/Summer.... So do many of you run a lot of trails? Could anyone recommend a good pair of lighter trail shoes? I run more woodland / dirt path than rocky trail.
Thanks!

I run trails quite a bit for training and races. For longer runs and rough/rocky trails I really like my Montrail Bahada's. They have enough cushioning & protection for rocky trails and my feet don't get too beat up. They are also pretty breathable for our hot summers. For shorter runs and most races I wear the ASICS Fuji Racer. They are light with excellent drainage but very slippery on wet rock.
On some of our group trail runs organized by a local chain of running stores I've been able to try some other trail shoes. The Montrail Fluid Flex and the Pear Izumi Trail M2 were awesome.0 -
I use Merrel Mix Master for dirt, work pretty well for me. My biggest complaint is the lack of padding it is a problem when running rocky terrain but it sounds like that won't be a problem for you.0
