With all the miles you've done I imagine your legs are pretty tough. You can then think about getting a good trail shoe for where you think you need to be. Often I choose the lug size. 8mm is for really wet stuff, 4 is for light trails. Probably why I like the Roclites with 6mm lugs, seem to work for a wide range. I also use them for hill walking.

With road shoes, I'm happy to buy whatever is the latest version of my current pair but as this is slightly unknown territory, trying some different ones on will be better.
