The TX4 from La Sportiva is a new generation of approach shoe and the beefiest of the TX series. Lightweight, yet very robust and durable, the TX4 combines a suede leather upper with a sticky rubber sole and 360掳 rubber rand. It's designed for demanding conditions, making it the choice for mountain approaches, easy grade multi pitch climbs and exposed scrambling. The super sticky Vibram Mega-Grip traverse outsole has an enhanced stability area and Trail Bite Heel Braking Platform, giving you extra confidence on steep walk offs.
