Mate I am uncertain sorry, all I know is they fit me great and the toebox is perfect. Probably not the best for narrow feet...mine aren't excessively wide I'd say average and I don't use an insert.
Gravel is a tricky surface, I agree.
It probably depends on the the percentage of a certain terrain in a run that I choose the shoes.
Generally, for steep grass I like Mudtalons with 8mm lugs, for snow the Genesis and for barely runnable rocks Bushidos. But then again, there is always a trade-off, since a run is usually composed of different surfaces.
As an allrounder in alpine environment, I often go for Dynafit, Prodigio or Ribelle Run.
YMMY.
(And yes: I might have too many shoes).
I have been running in the Italian Alps for about ten years with distances even over 100km. I think that's enough to give you some advice.
It really depends on where you live, the terrain you train on (mud, gravel, rocks, roots), the distance you like.
To start, however, I recommend a comfortable shoe with a 4-6mm drop that is not excessively cushioned (you lose a lot of sensitivity on the ground) a sole with not too large notches (if there are some fast areas)
Hoka Mafate Speed,
New Balance Hierro,
La Sportiva Akasha,
Nnormal kjerag.
Salomon sense ride (cheap and fast)
Now I'm using the Scarpa Ribelle Run, they have 500km but they're not good

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
