From La Sportiva's TX series, the TX Guide Men is the most technical model. This shoe has been developed for technical approaches, mountaineering, and via ferratas, making it suitable for activities in demanding terrain that require high-performance and durable footwear. This approach shoe is versatile, very lightweight, offers protection, and provides excellent grip. La Sportiva achieves this combination of features through a lightweight synthetic upper and a heavily profiled outsole with a high rock protection rand. Visually striking is the split sole, which actually consists of two different Vibram rubber compounds: Vibram MegaGrip and Idrogrip, providing the perfect combination of traction and durability. The treadless Climbing Zone at the front allows for optimal grip on edges while climbing. Speaking of grip: the foot also needs to be well secured, which is ensured in the TX Guide by the lacing that extends far forward and the well-fitting Tech-Fit design. The tongue construction is inspired by running shoes and prevents the intrusion of debris with its snug yet softly edged closure. And despite all the desired firmness, the TX Guide offers the necessary cushioning through its soft Ortholite insole and EVA cushioning wedge, allowing you to tackle long distances comfortably.
