La Sportiva TX Guide Leather

The leather version of the TX Guide, inspired by climbing technology and aesthetics, is the approach shoe for mountain guides and anyone active in the mountains looking for a high-performance shoe for approach and climbing. It features a combination of suede leather for better fit and nubuck leather for abrasion resistance. The look and feel are drawn from the climbing world: 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. Asymmetrical "climbing style" lacing extends to the toe for a highly precise fit. The Mythos Style Lacing System stabilizes the protective collar area. The "climbing-inspired" protective collar is made of 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, a medial shank, and a rock guard layer on the forefoot. The wide heel supports braking on descents and provides more grip on ascents. The sole features a dual Vibram-MegaGrip and IdroGrip compound, offering the perfect combination of grip and durability.
