La Sportiva TX5 Low GORE-TEX shoes yellow black

The La Sportiva TX5 Low GORE-TEX shoes are part of the TX Series line, designed for hikers seeking technical footwear for approach, hiking, and via ferrata. Lightweight and well-protected, they offer waterproofing and breathability thanks to the GORE-TEX membrane. They incorporate an anti-abrasion protective rand inspired by climbing, making them robust and durable, while the high-quality nubuck construction provides a comfortable fit. Structured and stable thanks to the stabilising insole, they are intended for prolonged use by mountain guides, rescuers, and industry professionals. The Mythos-style lacing allows for a precise fit by evenly distributing tension. The Vibram Megagrip compound sole provides excellent grip, and the pronounced heel along with the variable thickness Hiking-Oriented lugs enhance traction uphill and braking downhill. Designed for those seeking technical and reliable shoes for their mountain adventures.

Technologies:

• GORE-TEX Extended Comfort

Offers non-insulated protection to keep you dry and cool in warm and moderate conditions, and during higher levels of exertion. Ensures durable waterproofing and breathability for people who need to minimise heat retention.

Benefits: Optimal combination of breathability and waterproof protection, dry, comfortable, and cool feet, even in hot conditions and during intense aerobic activities, designed for all activities in warm to moderate conditions, for intense activities and daily use, comfort for daily indoor use and outdoor protection.

• Vibram

Offers maximum guarantees in terms of grip, stability, impact absorption, durability, and resistance to temperature changes. The dual-density polyurethane soles reconcile the characteristics of lightness and resistance. Comfortable and lightweight soles composed of a compact polyurethane outer sole for good grip on uneven terrain and with a lug design to automatically evacuate mud from muddy terrains with autumn water, and an expanded polyurethane inner sole, which cushions the impacts of the stride, preventing injuries to knees, ankles, and hips. They are very comfortable and flexible soles that perfectly adapt to the foot's walking process.

• Impact Break System

It is the innovative system applied to the sole that absorbs impact, aids traction, and retains on descent. Conceived and developed in the R&D department of La Sportiva, in collaboration with Vibram, this sole presents real advantages to practitioners, reducing the negative impact with the terrain thanks to the particular inclination of the sole lugs.

• Ortholite Approach (4 mm)

Lightweight insoles made of polyurethane and recycled rubber that provide cushioning, support, resistance, and breathability. They help reduce fatigue while offering protection against sweat and odours caused by moisture.

• EVA Injected

Manufactured with a high degree of cushioning and high elasticity. These characteristics provide a true "push off" during the propulsion phase while running, with these models injected into the midsoles, ideal for use on off-road trails. On the other hand, the midsole injection reduces the "squash" effect of EVA over time, allowing the product to maintain the same original properties over time and achieving high durability.
