La Sportiva TX Guide Leather

The leather version of the TX Guide, featuring technology and aesthetics inspired by the climbing world, is the approach shoe for mountain guides and anyone engaged in mountain activities who seeks a high-performance shoe for approach and climbing. It combines suede leather for better fit and nubuck leather for abrasion resistance. The look and feel are derived from climbing: an overlap tongue for maximum foot coverage and abrasion-resistant lacing at the toe with split leather eyelets to protect the laces. Adaptable fit: a wrapping shape that can adjust to different volumes thanks to the use of leather. Asymmetric climbing-style lacing extends to the toe for a highly precise fit. The Mythos Style Lacing System stabilizes the protective collar area. The collar, inspired by climbers, is made from PU-TECH Lite, and there is an external, lightweight, reinforced heel insert for maximum protection and durability. The front of the midsole features a TPU layer created using a two-component injection molding technique, which serves as a stabilizer for the climbing zone, as a medial shank, and as a rock guard layer on the forefoot. The wide heel supports braking during downhill and provides more grip during uphill. The sole is made with a dual Vibram-MegaGrip and IdroGrip compound, offering the perfect combination of grip and durability.
