Ideally these shoes would have a grippy, durable sole with a soft upper that can be folded flat against the sole allowing them to be slid into small gaps between other items.

Crocs fit the bill for me; they are not perfect - certainly not flat in the way you describe - but they do dry out quickly after they get wet (e.g. in the early morning dew on the grass) and the soles are fairly grippy. They are not for longer distance walking of course.
Being made totally of rubber, you can even strap them on to the outside of luggage, in extremis.
I can step straight out of the shower and move on to breakfast, without a change of footwear = versatility.
