Women's approach shoes La Sportiva TX4 Evo Mid Women GTX Carbon/Springtime

When the trail turns into climbing terrain and you need a shoe you can rely on 100%, the TX4 Evo Mid GTX steps in. It's a partner designed for approaches, via ferratas, and technical hiking, where sure-footedness is essential.

Confidence and protection with every step

The upper made of durable suede leather is protected around the perimeter by a robust rand, so you don't have to worry about sharp rocks. The mid-cut design not only stabilises the foot but also prevents stones or pine needles from getting into the shoe. Thanks to the GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort membrane, your feet will stay dry even if you are caught in the rain, while the shoe remains highly breathable. The lacing extending to the toe is inspired by climbing shoes. It allows you to tighten the shoe precisely to the shape of your foot, which you will appreciate especially on smaller footholds.

A sole that won't let you down

The foundation is a Vibram® Megagrip sole with a climbing zone at the toe. This compound is known for its exceptional grip on both wet and dry rock. Combined with the Impact Brake System™ technology, it gives you absolute control during ascents and confidence when descending in scree. The EVA foam midsole takes care of shock absorption, so you can handle even longer hikes.

Our tip

The shoe features a slightly narrower fit, typical for La Sportiva. If you are between sizes or plan to wear a thicker sock, consider going half a size up. Thanks to the possibility of resoling, it is an investment for many seasons.
