La Sportiva TX Guide

"The TX Guide is the most technical shoe in the La Sportiva TX series, ideal for mountaineers and climbers who need to be prepared for technical terrain. Specially designed for demanding approaches and via ferratas, this shoe combines lightness, versatility and protection. It is perfect for fast approaches where running and climbing are combined, thanks to its innovative construction that integrates elements from the running and climbing sectors."
"The shoe offers a dry and snug fit that enables maximum performance. Particularly stable at the toe, it enables a precise approach when climbing. The highly abrasion-resistant upper materials consist of a single layer to optimize the internal volume and are equipped with protective microfiber inserts and external TPU reinforcements that guarantee abrasion resistance. The asymmetrical approach-style lacing extends to the toe for a snug fit, while the rear part of the shoe is reminiscent of the Mythos style and offers perfect support at the heel."
"The protective climbing edge made of PU-Tech Liteu2122 and the tongue construction, inspired by running shoes, prevent dirt and small stones from getting in. The sole/midsole combination uses shock-absorbing, double-compressed EVA in the heel and a stabilizer in the forefoot area. The front part of the midsole is co-printed with a TPU-layer that serves as a climbing zone stabilizer, medial shank and rock protection. The Vibramu00e MegaGrip and Idrogrip dual compound sole offers a perfect combination of grip and durability, while the pronounced heel makes braking easier on the descent and provides better grip on the ascent."
