Excellent leather approach shoe. - La Sportiva TX4 Approach Shoes - Men's

I previously owned the TX2 and loved them for their lightweight approach and walk-off abilities. The TX4 is a worthy addition to compliment the TX2. The TX4 offers more support, more durability, and more warmth. I find the TX2 to be the slightly better technical climber but the TX4 is my go-to for longer approaches and overnights when carrying a heavy load. The TX4 runs a bit bigger than the TX2, I down-sized a half size and still find the TX2 to be a slightly tighter fit due to the more narrow design of the TX2.
