Trail running trainers - help please!

A couple of years ago I had my gait analysis done and ended up with a pair of Brooks Adrenalin GTS for my over-pronation which have been brilliant. However, they are now a bit worse for wear. I live on a tiny island with nowhere to buy decent trainers. Now I could just order another pair of the same Brooks which should be fine. But due to the surfaces I am running on I could do with something with better grips so I was thinking about trail running type trainers.

So, my question is, are there any over-pronaters out there who liked Brooks who also have similar supporting trail runners and if so, what are they? Now, I know everyone is different, but going trainer shopping is not an option from here and I don't just want to buy a random pair of runners in the hope they are okay. At least if someone got on well with Brooks for over-pronation, there's a good chance that whatever trail runners they are using would be okay for me too! Certainly better than a random guess!

Hoping someone can help... :smile:
