Trail shoes tend to be very stiff with a protective layer for obstructions on the trails. I've used my trail shoes to run on the road from time to time and it becomes hard to land softly, especially if you run fast. The stiff sole forces your foot to almost "slap" the hard surface, causing more stress on your lower legs. If you are running exclusively on pavement/concrete go with a road specific shoe. If you are using them only occasionally on the hard surfaces then they will probably work.
