Shoe brands recommendations

Hello hikers!

I'm looking for a new pair of shoes. I checked out the GearLab website, and they gave the highest score to the Salomon X Ultra 4 Gore-Tex. However, when I started reading reviews about Salomon shoes, I found many negative comments regarding a recent decline in their quality.

My question is: What reliable brands would you recommend? Do you have any specific models in mind?

Please don't write that I have to go to the store and check the shoes myself, I'm looking for a starting point, so I can choose a pair of shoes which will last.

For context: I'm a 27f with narrow feet, and I’m looking for shoes suitable for approaching rocks, the terrain can vary greatly. I currently have the Scarpa Mojito, but they feel a bit uncomfortable even when I’m not moving, and I don’t feel secure in them on loose rocks.
