Hello, my grotto is based out of Los Angeles. Most of the people in my group use approach or canyoneering shoes. So I narrowed it down to a few choices for approach shoes and I wanted to ask if anyone has any input. I am also open to other suggestions.
Arc'teryx Konseal AR Approach Shoes: https://www.rei.com/product/154926/arct ... shoes-mens
La Sportiva TX 3 Approach Shoes: https://www.rei.com/product/895633/la-s ... shoes-mens
La Sportiva TX4 Approach Shoes: https://www.rei.com/product/146538/la-s ... shoes-mens
The reviews on REI make the TX3 look like the best pick for wet conditions. But they are marked as being for hiking and they are also less durable.
I saw a review for the Konseal AR that made them sound like they are good for wet rock.
I tried asking a question on there about the TX4 but the guy that answered didn't seem familiar with caving.
Any help would be appreciated.
