European Sizing

The La Sportiva TX Guide is a climbing approach shoe that is designed to be efficient both during the walk-in to the crag and scrambling up easy climbs.

Within our La Sportiva approach shoe range, it's the most similar to the La Sportiva TX2. The main differences are in the sole, materials and fit.

The La Sportiva TX Guide has a dual-density compressed EVA and TPU midsole, giving it more cushioning and support for walking. The outsole is also a dual compound, with Vibram® IdroGrip in the front for climbing performance and Vibram® MegaGrip in the heel area for grip on more varied terrain. There's also a rock guard liner in the forefoot that gives you more protection on hard surfaces. This is paired with Impact Brake System in the back, which is the lug design designed for grip and cushioning on softer ground.

Essentially, if you're tossing up between this – the TX Guide – and the TX2, the latter is a softer, less protected shoe with a flatter sole, overall designed more for scrambling and easy climbs than walking.
