La Sportiva

TX GUIDE W

Description

TX Guide is the most technical shoe in the TX Series La Sportiva line. Dedicated to technical approaches and climbing, it is designed for alpine guides and mountain operators looking for a high-performance and long-lasting product. Versatile, light and protective, it is perfect for walk-run & climb approaches as suggested by the aesthetics derived from a perfect running / approach combination and the technical solutions of the climbing concept (sole, edges and lacing). It adopts a new Tech Fit shape: dry and enveloping for maximum performance. It is very established at the tip and allows you to maintain the edge when climbing. The highly abrasion-resistant mesh upper is made of a single layer to optimize internal volumes, with internal microfiber protective reinforcements and external TPU reinforcements to ensure resistance from abrasion. The lacing is asymmetrical and approach-style up to the toe for maximum fit precision while the back recalls the Mythos Style aesthetic and allows a perfect closure on the heel. The Climbing-inspired protective edge is made of lightweight PU-TECH Lite material. The construction of the tongue derives from the solutions applied to running shoes: the bellows prevents the entry of external elements during the walk. The sole / midsole package is made with a double EVA with shock absorbing compression on the heel and stabilizing on the forefoot: the front part of the midsole is co-molded with a TPU layer which acts at the same time as a stabilizer of the climbing zone, medial shank and rock-guard layer on the forefoot. The Vibram MegaGrip and Idrogrip dual compound sole is the perfect combination of grip and durability while the pronounced heel facilitates downhill braking and provides greater grip uphill. TX Guide: be your guide.
