Description La Sportiva TX4 approach shoes are designed for difficult approaches to rock climbing crags and are perfect for off-track exploration bush basing and walks that require a bit of scrambling. These shoes start off with a tight fit that quickly loosens up as as the soft leather modules to your feet. Whilst they are not waterproof they are highly water resistant, by way of the high, thick and protective rubber rind around the entire shoe. The toe-cap is reinforced with a softer rubber to provide better grip when scrambling. The sole uses La Sportiva Traction X rubber with a softer 'climbing zone' at the very front for almost climbing shoe like grip.
