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

I'm using Scarpa Spin Infinity for these things and I'm finding them very well. One of the outings I did recently included a via ferrata ascent and running descent and it was reliable throughout. I can't say about durability because I've only had them recently, but I have other Scarpas and they've never let me down
Option 3: trail running shoes 😁 You’ll need something to give you “stability” and dont be always putting “weight” on your knees when you come down from hills. I did it with some Scarpa, Salomon (worst shoes for me) and I’m planning to do it with ASICS Trabuco.
Scarpa trail shoes. They've been amazing for me.
Had great luck with Scarpas. The Golden Gate 2 and Spin Planet are great in conditions you describe.
Scarpa for more durability than topos
I’m getting amazing mileage out of Scarpa shoes and now wouldn’t go back to Hoka. They’ve been amazing around the Jura and Alps, and are still held together perfectly (except I doubt I’ll get them to look super clean ever again…). I think my current pair are at ~7-800km currently and still look and feel great. Arguably a more niche brand when it comes to running but I would highly recommend.
I also have narrow feet and was day hiking quite happily in a pair of scarpa trail runners. Alas I found that with multi day trips my feet were swelling enough, even by day 2, that my toes no longer felt comfortable and I was getting a ton of pressure on my heels. I switched to a pair of Salomon Elixir shoes in the same size and the roominess of the toe box has made a big difference to me. I can’t say there have been any downsides, but as a person with narrower feet I have to make sure I lace with a heel lock.
