Trail is a broad label. A park loop with pavement links asks different things of a shoe than a rocky route. Start with your terrain, typical weather and distance, then compare these catalogue options. This list does not claim that every outsole works equally well in mud or on wet rock.

3. Brooks Caldera 7
Caldera 7

Compare grip before cushioning
Look at the actual outsole and fit, and check manufacturer guidance for the surface. Secure heel hold and room for toes on descents are useful checks. For mostly paved routes, also compare a road trainer.
