Thank you for the info. I thought tis would be a good idea vs. the boot I plan to head for PCT this coming April.

Your remarks about trail shoes and gaiters are a bit misleading , you go from talking about streams straight into talking about gaiters. You should clarify that giaters + shoes arent going to solve your shoe in water problem.
Also, a good mid weight boot will always serve you getter on snow.
The whole trails shoe over boot thing depends a many factors – where the trip is, how long, what terrain, weather, weight of pack, etc etc.
ive been backpacking for 20 years, boots are still the best bet
