La Sportiva Men’s Approach Shoes TX Guide Approach Shoe Men’s

Why We Like The TX Guide Approach Shoe

In La Sportiva’s collection of TX approach shoes, the TX Guide sits right in the middle in terms of powerful stability and comfortable lightness. It’s lighter than the burlier X4 boots, and more stable than the lighter TX3 and TX2 shoes.

We love that La Sportiva used an all-new upper for this shoe; its Ultra-Weave jacquard balances breathability with long-lasting durability, and TPU reinforcements work with the toe and heel caps for even greater abrasion-resistance. Underfoot, a unique combination of Vibram’s Megagrip and Idrogrip rubber make for solid traction, whether we’re going up or down; La Sportiva’s Impact Brake System assists the downhill even more.
