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 composition. 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, helping to reduce impact 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 grip on all types of terrain, even the slipperiest. For technical approaches such as ridge routes, it has a Climbing Zone on the sole at the big toe area, providing reassuring grip.

| ORTHOLITE® | These are open-cell polyurethane insoles. Simply put, it’s a foam membrane! This honeycomb 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, protecting against bacteria and fungi while enhancing performance through shock absorption and minimal wear over time. |

An innovative system applied to the sole that absorbs negative impact with the ground, boosts traction uphill, and improves grip downhill. The unique positioning of the lugs ensures that the maximum number are in contact with the ground for optimal impact absorption. |
