i need new shoes

I've been wearing some Montrail Hardrock shoes for trail runs.  They are pretty rigid and offer a ton of support.  However, they lack in cushioning and I've gotten some shin splints the last couple times I ran in them.  I threw on my old Asics Gel Trabuco VIII yesterday for the run on Ute Pass.  I wore those most of last summer for hiking.  They are a nice trail shoe that offer some good support, not as much as the Hardrocks, but they have a lot more cushioning.  They felt pretty good, but I can tell that they are over a year old.  I think I'm going to shop for another pair of these soon and wear them for trail training.  A newer version is out, but I can't imagine they are that much different.
