BD Tag LT were my favorite shoes for carrying up a route because they're so compact and light. The heel was soft, not stiff which both allowed them to fold flat and also made them really easy to slip on and off while cragging. But they're discontinued. Has anyone found a similar shoe? like the entire upper should just be fabric, no foam or stiffness.
Hiking and climbing ability does not matter. Tag LT also sucked at hiking and climbing. So it doesn't even need to be an approach shoe, can just be a hiking or casual shoe. Tx2 is way bulkier than what I'm looking for.
Astral Loyaks are my favorite shoe for this kind of thing. The rubber is super sticky and they make a great every day shoe if you like the barefoot minimalist style
