La Sportiva TX5 EVO GTX

Built for long days under load and unpredictable terrain, the TX5 Evo GTX is La Sportiva’s answer to modern mountain trekking. Designed for hikers who move seamlessly from forest trails to rocky approaches, it blends the support of a traditional boot with the precision and grip of an approach shoe.

Crafted with durable Nubuck leather and reinforced by a full protective rand, the TX5 Evo GTX is made to take a beating, whether you’re hauling a heavy pack or picking your way through loose scree. A GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort membrane keeps feet dry while maintaining breathability, making it a reliable companion in variable conditions.

Underfoot, the combination of an injected EVA midsole and stabiliser platform delivers long-distance comfort and support, reducing fatigue on multi-day missions. The resoleable Vibram® MegaGrip outsole, enhanced with La Sportiva’s Impact Brake System™, provides confident traction on everything from muddy paths to technical rock, offering control on both ascents and descents.

Best Use: Technical Hiking, Scrambling, Via Ferata, Summer Alpine.
