Ran with these around the Tetons and down in lower valleys/ridges in Idaho and I love these shoes if you're looking for something lightweight and great grip across different terrains.
They keep out just about everything from plant stickers, mud, to even the worst of the dusty terrains, nothing gets past that gaiter/sock cuff and it's surprisingly breathable despite what one might expect its coverage. No sweat from me, and no dust/rocks! Tread is pretty durable too for such a lightweight shoe. It's definitely a narrow shoe but adding your own insoles will help make room or confirm no room for every individual's foot in these shoes.

Built for rough terrain of any sort the waterproof gaiter is just as good at keeping out mud, scree and rocks. The quick lacing system holds your foot firmly in place to keep you moving fluidly on technical trails. If the plan is to "get rad" any time of year, then Dynafit's Sky Pro shoe will be a top choice.

(used product a few times)
I bought these for a single day summit on Mt Rainier (and hopefully future single day summits of other PNW volcanoes). I wanted a shoe that would stay dry on the snow but be light and fast. I took it out a few days before Rainier on Lone Peak. We then traversed from Lone Peak to Big Horn. It handled the granite scrambling and the loose dirt bushwacky descent back into Alpine great. My trail partner took his shoes off twice to get rocks out. I never had to.
On Rainier they also did great. We didn't make the summit as two ladders were down near the top. But we did put crampons on for the lower snow field and upper glacier and crossed one ladder. We got a few dirty looks from guides who seemed to judge us for not having true mountaineering boots on. (Two different guides said, "going light I see" while looking at our shoes. I think the soft soles would have been scary spanning ladder rungs with no board down the middle, so maybe their dirty looks were warranted. Unfortunately I didn't get to test that though since the only ladder we could cross had a board down it.) We even bombed down the 2k ft snow field below camp Muir in slushy afternoon snow and my feet remained totally dry. The pointy toe also kept the crampons in place all day.
Seems like a great shoe for scree or snow. And it was grippy while scrambling. It does feel narrow and I had to size up from a US 11 to 12. But they never felt overly tight out on the trail. And the laces are easy to adjust under the gaiter if you do want some extra room.
