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 engaged in mountain activities who seeks a high-performance shoe for approach and climbing. It features a combination of suede leather for better adaptability and nubuck leather for durability. 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 lacing in climbing style 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 with a dual-component injection molding technique, serving as a stabilizer for the climbing zone, a medial shank, and a rock-guard layer on the forefoot. The wide heel supports braking during downhill and provides more grip during uphill. The sole combines dual Vibram-MegaGrip and IdroGrip compounds, offering the perfect balance between grip and durability.
