Midheight approach shoes with NO GORETEX - Do they exist?

Anybody know of any mid height approach shoes without a waterproof lining?

I'm looking for something that will breathe well / dry fast.  Ideally as wide fit as possible.

Edit: Plan to use these as general purpose lightweight hikers and scramblers for backpacking trips 

Yes, five ten guide tennie mid and la sportiva boulder x mid, just off the top of my head. neither will dry fast though, why do you want a mid height approach shoe that dries fast? Also five ten canyoneer ticks all your boxes.

I want to use them as a general hiking and backpacking shoe. Endeup doing a lot of scrambling. Have great boot boots for winter already and I want something that won't takes ages to dry after crossing a river.

You're best bet seems like the canyoneer then, they should be sufficiently durable as well.

Vans does. Ultra range or something like that. I’m not sure if they’re any good, but I think they meet your requirements.

Hah - looks like they just discontinued them

Look at mid top trail running shoes or fast hiking shoes, theres lots of options. Unless you are doing 5th class scrambling I think they would be fine, much more comfortable for hiking.

What kind of load will you be carrying?  I always preferred some stiffness in the sole if I was carrying more than about 20 pounds, especially if there was any rock hopping to be done. A hiking boot should fit your foot really well, so buy the brand that fits the best, and most offer the same boot with or without GTX. I love my Vasque hikers, because they fit my foot so well, but they are a heavy all leather mountaineering boot with crampon welts. But they fit so well I use them for just about everything non-climbing related.

I was looking at listing of approach shoes and they don't make many that are midheight, 2-3 pairs(?), all which seem to have a fair amount of material, robust as it were. None of which are going to dry quickly. I think you have to choose...either you want a slow drying quasi boot approach shoe or a fast drying light approach shoe. I backpack in my Sportiva TX3s...warm weather backpacking with a summer weight of 25#s or so.

I've looked but there's actually not very many without goretex. Lone peaks were not wide enough for me.

Ahh those were the specific ones I was thinking about. What is your reasoning for mid-height, ankle support?

Nah no need for ankle support. I just prefer the extra ankle protection when scrambling up rocks and when not wearing gaiters it helps keeps dirt out.
