+1. If you find them comfortable, then go for it. You will not know until you try it. If they don't work out, swap them out for something else. That said, it might be worth getting fitted for a trail runner by someone who knows what they are doing, so you have a sense of what you might want to switch into.
And whether boots really are superior to trail runners in terms of preventing sprains and such, that is debatable. I'm prone to ankle sprains and have certainly had it happen in the sturdiest of boots.
