Advice : Use the foot sizer from SIDAS to help you find the right size
The TX Guide is a men's approach shoe from the brand La Sportiva, ideal for outings on technical terrain combining approach and climbing.
Robust and high-performing, this shoe is perfectly suited for technical approaches as it remains lightweight and versatile thanks to its construction. Its upper is made of abrasion-resistant mesh with a protective microfiber layer. To further reinforce the shoe and protect your foot, TPU reinforcements are also present throughout the sole, reducing impact sensations when walking on rocks, even sharp ones.
On the outsole side, it features a Vibram® model with MegaGrip and IdroGrip rubber for an ideal, durable combination offering excellent traction on all types of terrain, even the slipperiest. For technical ridge-type approaches, it has a Climbing Zone on the sole at the big toe area, providing reassuring grip.

| ORTHOLITE® | These are insoles made from open-cell polyurethane. Simply put, it’s a foam membrane! This alveolar insole wears out more slowly than traditional insoles, drains moisture more effectively, and absorbs impacts better. Running shoes equipped with this technology help keep feet cool and dry, protect against bacteria and fungi, while improving performance through shock absorption and minimal wear over time. |

IMPACT BRAKE SYSTEM |
An innovative system applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, boost traction uphill, and improve grip downhill. The unique positioning of the lugs ensures that as many as possible remain in contact with the ground, optimising impact absorption. |
