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 seeking a high-performance shoe for approach and climbing. It combines suede leather for better adaptability and nubuck leather for abrasion resistance. With a look and feel 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 extending to the toe for a highly precise fit. Mythos Style Lacing System to stabilize the protective collar area. Climbing-inspired protective collar made from PU-TECH Lite(TM) and 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, serving 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 features a dual Vibram(R)-MegaGrip and IdroGrip compound, offering the perfect combination of grip and durability.
