TX2

TX2 is the lightest technical approach shoe in the approach/multifunction Traverse X series: designed for mountain trails and for hooking onto a harness thanks to the C2 Combo Cord™ system that allows you to store the shoes quickly and compactly. Every detail is designed to guarantee lightweight, grip, comfort and protection during the approach phase and to allow the shoe to be used on more technical terrain in the mountains, right to the base of the wall. The boot has essential design uppers with no stitching in elasticated knit fabric, high abrasion resistance and reduced weight thanks to the all-round protective coating, Vibram MegaGrip sole conceived for climbing and return routes on technical terrain, the lacing system derived from Mythos climbing model regulates tension and inner volumes in one simple move. All features that combine the comfort of a trail running shoe to the technical characteristics of a climbing shoe. Traverse X is the ultimate expression of moving in the mountains quickly and safety.

Technologies and manufacturing processes

  • EVA - INJECTED

    The injected sole has high damping properties and elasticity of the material. These properties support the forward footprint during running and therefore these models are particularly suitable for off-road trails. Injected EVA midsoles reduce midsole compression, which can appear as the shoe ages, allowing the material to maintain the same performance characteristics.
  • Innovative system on the sole to absorb the impact, also helps in the climb and supports during braking.

    Designed and developed at La Sportiva's Research and Development Centre, it offers real benefits during running: the negative effect of the impact with the ground is minimized. Due to the special arrangement of the pimples, some of them come into contact with the ground beforehand, so the impact of the shoe profile is softer.
  • Vibram

    Vibram sole to ensure an optimal balance between performance and durability.
  • TraverseX

    In outdoor slang, the expression "to traverse across" stands for the approach to a wall, for cross-country on different terrain or for a technical passage during an off-road run.Approach, Mountaineering and Mountain Running: 3 ways of moving on foot in the outdoor area, concentrated in the "multifunction" series Traverse X: 3 models with uniform design, lacing system, grip and fit comfort, differentiated by weight and materials used.KEY FEATURES: + Cushioning and flexibility derived from the mountain running series+ Mountaineering durability and protection+ Lacing derived from climbing shoes+ Climbing shoe-like grip
