TX Guide is the most technical shoe in the La Sportiva TX Series. It is dedicated to technical approach routes and climbing and is designed for mountain guides and mountain workers looking for a long lasting, high performance product. 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 new 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 optimization 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 a 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 stabilizer on the forefoot: the front part of the midsole is co-printed with a TPU layer that acts as a climbing zone stabilizer, 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. TX Guide: be your guide. Men's shoes.
• Uppers: Highly abrasion resistant Mesh + internal microfiber reinforcements + TPU external reinforcements + PU-Tech Lite™ rand
• Approach, Mountaineering and Mountain Running: 3 different approaches to outdoor exploits condensed in a “multifunction” series, Traverse X: 3 different models similar in design, lacing system, grip and comfort fit, differentiated in weight and materials.
• Lining: Non slip, breathable mesh
• Footbed: Ortholite® Approach
• Midsole: Dual density, compressed EVA + TPU
• Sole: Vibram® MegaGrip ed IdroGrip dual compound outsole + climbing zone at the toe + Impact Brake System lugs at the back
• The models use the exclusive eco-friendly La Sportiva insoles by OrthoLite® Hybrid, made using 20% recycled material from the production process. These insoles are designed for both men’s and women’s feet and the thicknesses and materials differ to suit the weight of the average user.
• Standard compression molded EVA midsoles provide durability and reactivity on soft ground where the need for shock absorption is reduced.
• The innovative system is applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill.
• Created and developed by the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact. The unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.
• Vibram sole to ensure an optimal balance between performance and durability.
• Versatile, lightweight and protective, ideal for walk-run & climb approach routes
• Tech Fit: precise shape with snug fit for maximum performance
• Abrasion resistant, single layer, mesh uppers for volume optimization with internal microfiber protection reinforcements and external TPU reinforcements
• Approach-style, symmetric lacing to the toe for maximum fi t 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
