La Sportiva TX Guide 27N999100 Black/Yellow

The La Sportiva TX Guide is a versatile approach shoe designed for mountain approaches, via ferratas, trekking in challenging terrain, and technical rock terrain. The abrasion-resistant mesh upper is internally reinforced with microfiber and externally with TPU elements and a protective PU-Tech Lite overlay—providing strength, rock resistance, and durability while remaining lightweight and breathable.

The interior of the shoe is lined with breathable mesh, and the Ortholite insole provides comfort and cushioning – making the model suitable for both technical approaches and long hikes.

The midsole is made of double-density EVA foam combined with TPU, which provides good cushioning and stability – this translates into comfort when walking on stones and uneven surfaces.

The outsole is a rubber compound compatible with Vibram technology – with a MegaGrip + IdroGrip compound, equipped with a climbing zone at the front and "Impact Brake System" blocks at the rear, which guarantees excellent traction on wet rock, stones, mud and difficult terrain. This allows the shoes to provide a feeling of sure footing and control even on steep ascents and descents.

A climbing-inspired lacing system (reaching close to the toe) allows for a precise fit and stability in challenging terrain. Additionally, a protective rand and reinforcements protect against impacts from rocks and rocky surfaces.

Thanks to this set of features, the TX Guide is the perfect approach shoe for those who need one versatile shoe for approaches, climbing, scrambling, via-ferrata or demanding trekking – lightweight, precise, durable and with very good grip.
