New updated version of the once long-awaited TX Guide Leather approach and climb shoe that has become known as La Sportiva's best shoe in the category, with increased durability, stability, and climbability over and above the prior synthetic version of this shoe.  Footwear with leather uppers like these will break-in and conform better to the shape of your feet, allowing for a more precise fit for climbing while increasing their longevity.  Mythos inspired asymmetrical to-the-toe lacing provides much needed toe room for the hike in and out, while allowing for a much more precise, close-fitting, and stable fit for performance climbing when cinched tight for use on the rock.  An anti-torsional shank and rock guard combined with sticky Vibram® Mega-Grip™ rubber in the forefoot provides superior edging capability.  Toe caps and heel counters increase protection from abrasions, and heel loops allow these to be easily and securely clipped off to your harness when donning rock shoes becomes necessary for the most technical rock climbing portions of the route.

Ellie U. ★★★★★

The updated tread pattern grips surprisingly well on loose dirt and rock slabs, and the reinforced toe held up through a season of scrambling without peeling. I’ve worn them for full days on mixed terrain, and the stability on small edges gives me a lot more confidence than my old approach shoes.

Penelope U. ★★★★★

The toe rubber feels sturdier than my last pair, and the updated stability really shines on uneven rock. Been using them for three weekends straight and the leather is already molding to my foot perfectly.

Olivia ★★★★★

The toe rubber has held up through three rough weekends of scrambling and it still grips like day one. Stability on rocky descents is exactly what I needed, and the fit broke in after just a couple of sessions.
