Yeah I do try and use my trail shoes but last few have been fairly full on ice and snow above 600m or thereabouts with microspikes in use (not full crampon conditions though)
I have done Winter Munros in trail shoes before, but I've lost my nerve a bit (only got back into doing them again this past Summer and up to now)

I had this running, and switching to barefoot did help - but mostly by forcing me to change my running technique to something more much more stable. So I'd guess it's unlikely to be a quick fix.
Not necessarily a solution, but loosely related: in the summer I switched from my boots to approach shoes in the cuillins and have only worn boots when it's weather driven since - the lighter load and free-er movement has made long days much much easier.
