I don't have five, but …..After years of Inov8 and New Balance trail runners, I am now the happiest with my Lowa Renegade GTX mid boots.
For up to 10 miles in a day, without much scree or rock, the Inov8 are fine. Anything more and my narrow heels moving around cause me blisters; that happened with four different models and plenty of sock variations.
The Renegades are light, provide good sensory feedback, are narrow enough for my feet and the heel sits deep enough to help prevent ankle rolling.
So my top three are the Lowa Renegades:) then one of the New Balance I have had ( sorry, forgot the model) and fifth the Inov8 rocklite.
