Less sticky/messy approach shoes

Strange ask and probably an impossibility. 

Are there any less sticky approach shoes available? 

I am tired of bringing in a pile of grit on my shoes and leaving black rubber scuff stains everywhere from my 5.10s.

It may not be what you're after but the chevron type grip on shoes like inov8s doesn't hold on to mud anywhere near as much as approach shoes tend to. It's also a really tough rubber compound (with carbon or graphite or something in) so doesn't wear down (or leave skid marks everywhere). They won't scramble as well obviously but perfectly adequate for standard cragging (and half the weight, if you need to carry them up).

Boulder X's are not as sticky.
