The TX4 Evo GTX Women by La Sportiva is a waterproof leather shoe from the Approach Traverse X series, designed for use on alpine approaches and sporty via ferratas. Perfect for all those who spend long hours on the mountain or climbing and want to rely on a weatherproof, stable shoe. The robust TX 4 has been given a soft leather outer shell which, together with the spacious but snug-fitting forefoot area, results in a fit that lies at the comfortable interface between a well-fitting climbing shoe and a comfortable, easy-rolling hiking shoe. The Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort lining keeps your feet dry, even when it gets really wet. The Vibram MegaGrip sole also gives you good grip on the mountain. The integrated Impact Brake System at the back gives you a little more control when going downhill and, of course, this model from La Sportiva also has a Climbing Zone in the toe area, which benefits the versatility of the shoe when negotiating smaller climbing passages and difficult terrain. To ensure that the TX4 has a long life despite stony paths, the Italian mountain sports specialists have added an all-round scree protection edge to the robust upper leather. It also has a Resole Platform™ in the midsole, which makes it easy to resole without having to sacrifice comfort. The lacing system was derived from the Mythos climbing shoe and allows the shoe to be adjusted quickly and precisely. And when it's time to climb vertically, the shoes can simply be attached to the harness using the loop on the heel. Or, to cut a long story short: Many well thought-out technical details make the TX4 Evo GTX from La Sportiva a reliable, robust and weatherproof approach and light hiking shoe. The next tour can come!
