Lightweight and comfortable, the TX4 Mid is ideal for hikers and mountain lovers. The high-cut collar protects the ankle and confers flexibility and stability for full control of the support of the foot while the STB Control System provides further structure and torsion stability on traverse routes.
Suede Leather Upper
The upper of the TX4 utilises a suede leather, designed for technical approach routes. The hard-wearing suede leather gives the shoe a strong, sturdy feel, and can take anything the trails and mountains throw at them. The uppers are protected by 1.5mm of PU TechLite rand, which offers a high level of abrasion resistance plus, a mesh lining is included, which protects the foot from all elements. To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, a GORE-TEX membrane resides inside the shoe; supplying a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside; keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy. Lastly, the lacing system of this shoe takes inspiration from La Sportiva's long history of cutting-edge climbing shoes and can be used in the mountains quickly and easily. The laces regulate tension and internal volume in one easy move, allowing your full focus to be on the journey ahead.
EVA MidsoleThe midsole of the TX4 is made from EVA, which offers outstanding stress and impact resistance properties while retaining a comfortable fit. The EVA protects your foot from the impact, collisions, and stress that it can endure during long adventures outdoors. The TX4 has taken inspiration from mountain running shoes in this regard; the shock absorption and flexibility seen in this shoe use technology that is used in more traditional trail running shoes, making the TX4 an outstanding all-around choice. The TX4 features a unique STB Control System. This is where the uppers wrap around the midsole at the middle of the boot, enhancing stability on traverses. This provides a snug fit for enhanced comfort and precision, allowing your adventures to be longer and even more enjoyable.
Vibram Mega-Grip OutoleThe La Sportiva TX4 is fitted with a Vibram Mega-Grip outsole, which offers an elite grip on the worst terrains the world can offer. The sole features a climbing zone at the toe, and an Impact Brake System at the rear, which is designed for climbing routes and return trails on technical terrain. The design of the outsole uses decades of experience in climbing and mountaineering to deliver the best, strongest grip that will keep you in full control and all times.
