Comfortable, sticky approach shoe! - La Sportiva TX3 Approach Shoes - Women's

I've been looking for a good approach shoe for a year and decided to give the Sportive a try. I've only worn the shoes once, but they are very comfortable (hiked in them without any breaking in). I used them to hike up to a climbing area and it provided good support on the trail and best of all, good stickiness scrambling on the rocks. Not sure about the longevity of the threads holding the laces (don't look durable), but I guess I'll find out in the months to come. Only other comment is that I had to leave them in a well ventilated area for about a week to get rid of that synthetic/chemical smell, but now it's fine. Hoping this pair will be durable because they are so comfortable and have good grip.
