La Sportiva TX4 Trail Running Shoe
A highly versatile shoe for all-day adventures, the TX4 from La Sportiva is lightweight and comfortable, making it ideal for mountaineers and trail enthusiasts. With a unique look inspired by climbing, it is the perfect shoe to go off-road and explore the world.
Hard-wearing Leather Upper
The TX4 is a tough leather shoe designed for technical approach routes and via ferreta. The hard-wearing suede leather uppers give the shoe a strong, sturdy feel, and can take anything the trails and mountains throw at them. This shoe is the most structured and long-lasting in the Traverse X series, and one of the most durable in the world today.
The uppers are protected by 1.5mm of PU TechLite rand, which offers a high level of abrasion resistance. A mesh lining is included, which protects the foot from all elements. Finished with a rubber toe cap that gives extra protection in rocky terrain, the uppers are built with long approaches in mind to give a lightweight but protected fit.
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 Midsole
The 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 uses 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.
Mega-Grip Sole
Vibram is a world leader in high-performance soling systems. They combine cutting edge designs with advanced rubber compounds to deliver optimum performance. The TX4 is fitted with Vibram's Mega-Grip sole, which offers elite grip on the worst terrain's 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. Finished with a Trail Bite Heel that enhances the grip, the design of this sole uses decades of experience in climbing and mountaineering to deliver the best, strongest grip that will keep you in full control and all times
