I've not yet been in a situation where I have wished I had boots on instead of trail runners. That being said, I have never needed to wear crampons, and I do 98% of my hiking on trail. I know there are situations where boots are the proper choice, but I haven't been in those situations yet. I've hiked through knee-deep snow in trail runners (gore-tex socks are your awesome)...I've forded numerous streams with them (it's great not to have to stop and change shoes at a crossing) and they really do dry out quickly, even in the humid mid-east, and I love not having to pack camp shoes.
