La Sportiva Traverse X 2 Leather Evo Walking Shoes
An Approach shoe designed for a technical approach to climbing walls and use on the cliff, it comes with an enveloping fit and the incomparable comfort of the suede upper.
Leather, Suede Upper
Constructed from breathable leather and suede upper, the shoes are exceptionally durable and comfortable for your feet to thrive. The shoes utilise 100% recycled laces, for a traditional lace-up system, ensuring feet remain locked in and supported. The lacing system is derived from the Mythos climbing model and regulates tension and inner volumes in one simple move, while a rubber toe bumper provides protection to the toes when on tricky trails. Inside the shoes is a soft fabric lining that will provide excellent comfort throughout the ankle area, allowing you to focus on the task in front of you. All of these features combine the comfort of a trail running shoe with the technical characteristics of a climbing shoe. Finally, the upper has a C2 Combo Cord (elastic cord) that allows you to easily pair and store your shoes compactly in a backpack or even attach them to a harness, for exceptional storage.
Recycled Compression EVA Midsole
The TX2 Evo uses a Recycled Compression EVA Midsole which differs from the standard compression moulded EVA midsole for a high degree of cushioning and better rebound properties. These features assist the toe-off phase of the gait cycle while running, making these ideal shoes on offroad trails. Furthermore, EVA injected midsoles drastically reduce the squash effect of the EVA over time, allowing the product to maintain the same characteristics and high performance for its entire duration. Additionally, an Ortholite Hybrid Approach footbed provides additional cushioning for comfort on the trail, and a non-slip mesh construction ensures cool air is provided to your feet. The highly breathable PU foam cells ensure that the foot is always dry and kept at the perfect temperature.
Vibram IdroGrip Outsole
Exceptional in providing grip on a range of terrain and surfaces, such as wet conditions, the Vibram IdroGrip compound is perfect for activities ranging from Fly Fishing to technical approach and easy climbing. Its superior performance on wet rock makes it the perfect compound for difficult trekking trails where overall super performance is required. Not only this, but the outsole has climbing zone grooves designed for maximum grip on technical terrain. Finally, the soles of these shoes are in line with La Sportiva's Resole collection which includes a sole package that is designed for quick and easy resoling by replacing the tread.
