La Sportiva Tx Guide

"The TX Guide from La Sportiva is the most technical shoe in the TXseries and is specially designed for demanding approaches and via ferratas. It is aimed at mountaineers and mountain workers who are looking for a durable and high-performance product. The shoe is versatile, lightweight and offers optimal protection, ideal for approaches that require both running and climbing. The design aesthetically combines the elements of running and approach with technical solutions from the world of climbing, such as the sole, edge and lacing."
"The innovative Tech-fit ensures a dry and snug fit that enables maximum performance. The stability in the toe area and the ability to hold the edge when climbing are outstanding. The highly abrasion-resistant upper materials consist of a single layer to optimize internal volume, with protective internal microfiber reinforcements and external TPU reinforcements. The asymmetrical approach-style lacing extends to the toe and offers a precise fit, while the rear part of the shoe is reminiscent of the Mythos style and provides perfect support at the heel"
"The protective climbing edge made of PU-TECH Lite and the tongue construction inspired by running shoes prevent foreign bodies from penetrating when walking. The sole/midsole consists of shock-absorbing, double-compressed EVA at the heel and a stabilizer in the forefoot. The front part of the midsole is copied with a TPU layer that acts as a climbing zone stabilizer, medial shank and rock protection layer. The Vibram MegaGrip and Idrogrip Dual-Compound sole offers the perfect combination of grip and durability, while the pronounced heel makes braking downhill easier and provides more support on the uphill."
