La Sportiva TX5 GTX

La Sportiva TX5 GTX, a new shoe from one of the most prominent brands in the sector, is an ideal shoe for hikers that provides stability and comfort in their hiking routes in the mountains.

La Sportiva TX5 GTX is a hiking shoe that stands out for the quality of its materials and the technologies it incorporates, such as the Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane, the Vibram sole and the Impact Brake System, among others.

Main characteristics of La Sportiva TX5 GTX

The TX5 GTX is a hiking shoe from La Sportiva that is stable and comfortable, waterproof and, at the same time, breathable thanks to the GORE-TEX Extended Comfort membrane. It stands out for its soft and comfortable Nubuck upper, as well as the rubber toe protection for maximum abrasion resistance and protection during our excursions in the mountains.

The midsole of the La Sportiva TX5 GTX features the EVA - INJECTED system which is manufactured with a high degree of cushioning and a high degree of elasticity. These features provide a real "push off" during the propulsion phase while running, as these models are injected in the midsole, ideal for use in off-road trails.

On the other hand, midsole injection reduces the squash effect of EVA over time, which allows the product to maintain the same original properties over time and achieves high durability.

La Sportiva TX5 GTX is a model from the Traverse X Series line, so it incorporates the exclusive eco-friendly La Sportiva by OrthoLite Hybrid insoles, made with 20% recycled materials derived from the processing cycle. These insoles are designed for both male and female feet, and adopt different thicknesses and materials in relation to the average weight of the user.

La Sportiva TX5 GTX features a super grippy Vibram MegaGrip blended outsole with Impact Break System with differentiated thickness that increases grip uphill and retains grip downhill.

The Impact Brake System is an innovative system applied to the sole that absorbs impact, assists traction and holds on the descent. Conceived and developed in the R&D department of La Sportiva, in collaboration with Vibram, this sole offers real advantages to mountaineers, reducing the negative impact with the ground thanks to the particular inclination of the lugs on the outsole.

Technical specifications of the La Sportiva TX5 GTX

La Sportiva TX5 GTX is a hiking shoe that provides stability and protection and, as it is a high-top boot, it cannot be very light, on the contrary, it is a heavy shoe, specifically 530 grams and it's available from size 4 to 12.5 in the men's version.

In short, La Sportiva TX5 GTX is a high quality hiking shoe that also has the 3D Flex system in the heel area to provide protection, maximum freedom of movement and control in support, as well as technologies such as the Vibram MegaGrip sole with Impact Break System or the GORE-TEX Extended Comfort membrane to enjoy our hiking trails in the mountains without worrying about our feet at any time.
