Deep Dive
Why We Like The Tag LT Approach Shoe:
The Tag LT Approach Shoe has impressed us because of its packability, making it ideal for moving quickly in the alpine. The shoes feature climbing-specific features you’d expect from Black Diamond, including a high-performance rubber sole for technical climbing and reinforced TPU zones in the upper for durability. The shoes also include a compression strap to fit around the shoes once you’ve started climbing, and the heel loops are specifically designed to strap onto your harness, just as you’d carry a cam.

- Featherweight approach shoe built with the send in mind
- Two-way stretch synthetic upper contours to your foot’s shape
- TPU overlays supply enhanced structure without any excess bulk
- BlackLabel Mountain rubber sole is sticky for ledges
- Integrated toe-cap offers protection from rocks and improved traction
