La Sportive TX Guide Approach Shoe - Black Yellow

Season:AW21

Brand:La Sportiva

Code:80001528

The TX Guide is the most technical shoe in the La Sportiva TX Series. Versatile, lightweight and protective, it is ideal for walk-run & climb approach routes as suggested by the aesthetics derived from a perfect combination of running/approach and the technical solutions inspired by the climbing world (sole, rand and lacing).

The shoe uses the Tech-fit: dry and snug fitting for maximum performance. It is very stable at the toe and allows to keep the edge in climbing. The highly abrasion-resistant uppers are made from a single layer for optimisation of internal volumes, with protective internal reinforcements in microfiber and external TPU reinforcements to guarantee abrasion resistance. The lacing is asymmetrical and approach-style up to the toe for maximum fit accuracy while the back part of the boot recalls the Mythos Style and allows for perfect support at the heel. The protective Climbing-inspired rand uses PU-TECH Lite. The construction of the tongue derives from the solutions applied to running shoes: the cuff prevents the entry of external elements during walking. The sole/midsole package uses shock-absorbing, dual compressed EVA on the heel and a stabiliser on the forefoot: the front part of the midsole is co-printed with a TPU layer that acts as a climbing zone stabiliser, medial shank and rock-guard layer on the forefoot. The Vibram MegaGrip and Idrogrip dual compound sole is the perfect combination of grip and durability while the pronounced heel facilitates downhill braking and provides greater uphill grip.


Features:
  • Versatile, lightweight and protective, ideal for walk-run & climb approach routes
  • Tech Fit: precise shape with a snug fit for maximum performance
  • Abrasion-resistant, single layer, mesh uppers for volume optimisation with internal microfiber protection reinforcements and external TPU reinforcements
  • Approach-style, symmetric lacing to the toe for maximum fit accuracy
  • Climbing-inspired protective rand in light and protective PU-TECH Lite™ for maximum durability
  • Running-fit tongue with cuff construction: it avoids the entry of external elements
  • Vibram® MegaGrip and Idrogrip double compound sole, the ideal combination of grip and durability
  • Weight: 700g (EU 42)

    These shoes feels so great when you first put them on. I can tell they are going to have great support over long walks combined with the ability to climb in them too. Highly recommended.
