La Sportiva - TX4 GTX - Approachskor

Flexible, lightweight and stable approach shoes

Whether you're tackling scree at the foot of the crag or traversing through mud, the TX4 GTX approach shoes from La Sportiva love a challenge! TX4 stands for 'traverse across', meaning the best possible support and grip, even in rough terrain and on changing surfaces. They're perfect for technical approaches and via ferratas: ideal for mountain guides and anyone like you who spends a lot of time in the mountains and wears their shoes for long hours. Grip, comfort and protection on the approach are at the forefront of these shoes, designed to support your feet from the technical ascent to the base of the wall.

Waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane

Another great feature includes the GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining that ensures waterproof and breathability properties. Moisture and rain will stay out, while sweat will be effectively wicked away. This keeps you dry and comfortable in any weather.

Durable materials for high resistance and durability

Their materials and features are multifunctional, covering a very wide range of uses from rock climbing to easy mountaineering and mountain running. Thanks to the durable leather, the approach shoes have a clean design with high scratch resistance thanks to the PU TechLite all-round edge. They’re built for the mountains.

Rapid lacing system

The lacing system is derived from the Mythos climbing model and allows the shoes to be tightened and the volume to be adjusted with a single movement. This makes it easy for your to make precise adjustments.

Soft Ortholite insole, cushioning EVA midsole and non-slip outsole

One of the most striking features is the grip similar to a climbing shoe. Plus, it has the Impact Brake System in the Vibram Megagrip sole that provides good cushioning. The outsole itself provides a non-slip grip on challenging terrain, whether it's uphill or downhill. The rubber reinforcement over the toe makes the TX4 GTX approach shoes from La Sportiva very durable and wear resistant. Another great feature includes the injected midsole made of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) that has excellent cushioning properties. They’re completed by the Ortholite Approach 4 mm insole.
