Leather shoe designed for technical approach routes and via ferrata, part of the Traverse X approach series: ideal for prolonged use by mountain guides and all those who work in the mountains. Every detail has been studied to guarantee grip, comfort and protection during approach routes and to encourage technical use right up to the base of the wall. TX4 is a sturdy ‘‘built to last’’ boot, thanks to the STB Control System™ that provides structure and torsion stability. The hard wearing leather uppers have an essential design and are high abrasion resistance thanks to the PU TechLite all-around rand: The Vibram MegaGrip sole with climbing zone at the toe and Impact Brake System at the rear are designed for climbing routes and return trails on technical terrain.

Climbing zone at the toe for climbing routes and return trails.Eva - injectedHighe degree of cushoning and high elasticity of the fabric. These features assist ‘‘push off’’ during the propulsion phase while running, making these models who use injected midsoles, ideal for use on off-road trails. Furthermore, EVA Injected midsole drastically reduce the ‘‘squash’’ effect of the EVA over time, allowing the product to mantain the same features for its entire duration.Impact Brake SystemThe innovative system is applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill.Created and developed by the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact. The unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.VibramVibram sole to ensure an optimal balance between performance and durability.Traverse SeriesIn typical outdoor slang, the expression, ‘’traverse’’ indicates the approach to a climbing wall, a crossing on mixed terrain, a technical passage in off-road racing.Shock absorption, fit and flexibility derived from Mountain RunningMountaineering durability and protectionLacing inspired by climbing shoesRock Climbing grip with the exclusive VIBRAM® MEGAGRIP SoleTech infoUpper: Suede leather and protective 1,5 mm PU TechLite rand and rubber toe for extra protection.Linning: MeshMidsole: Shock absorbing, injected EVASole: Mega-Grip Vibram sole with Impact Brake System and climbing zone at the toePatent: Mythos lacing systemOriginal Colour by Producer: Blue/KaleSize EU: 42Activity Type: ApproachActivity Type: Via FerrataActivity Type: HikingAge Group: AdultColour: BlueMade in: ChinaDesigned in: ItalyGender: MaleLining: MeshMaterial: Suede LeatherSeason: 2022Shaft Height: Low ShoesSize UK: 8Size US: 9Weight: 365 gWeight (g): 365.0: Outdoor (CMS): Hiking Boots: Male (CMS): Adult (CMS)
