Hello everyone again, I'm back to pick all of your brains!

I recently was at Borders and picked up a cool new read called "The Ultralight Backpacker" by Ryel Kestenbaum. After reading the footwear section I was really excited about his opinions on hiking boots. I've been trying to break in my pair of Asolo Fugitive GTX's and still have yet to be impressed. Its a decent boot, but nothing that screams comfort by any means. But Ryel is a keen believer in light weight trail shoes, and now has my brain in a tailspin. Could it be that I was completely wrong about big packs as I was with big hiking boots as well? I am going to be going to some stores around me to check out whats available, any good trail shoes that you guys know of? Price is not an option in terms of footwear to me, I tend to have problem feet and normal "average" shoes don't cut it usually. Also if anyone has any other good ultralight reads to recommend that would be great too. Thanks again for all your help!
