La Sportiva TX 5 GORE-TEX Women's Walking Boots
The La Sportiva TX 5 is a mid-cut protective approach boot designed for hikers and backpackers with heavy loads. Stable and comfortable it is waterproof and breathable thanks to the GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Membrane.
GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Upper
The GORE-TEX extended comfort membrane in the upper ensures the boots are durably waterproof combined with optimised breathability offering enduring weather protection. Water stays on the outside while perspiration can easily escape from the inside, thanks to the boots non-insulated construction they are the ideal solution for people who value outstanding climate comfort and heat release. The upper boasts extreme comfort thanks to the soft Nubuck leather that is enriched with a protective rubber rand and toe cap for superb durability and protection from unseen trail hazards. The high cuff protects against stones and mud, preventing them getting inside the boots as well as providing you with additional ankle support on unpredictable terrains. The boots feature a 3D flex system that allows maximum precision on holds and freedom of movement in complete safety, while an underfoot stabiliser and STB control system makes the boots ideal for extended use. Lastly, a differentiated lacing system hooks in the top half and laces in the bottom section provide a more comfortable and locked-in fit.
Injection Moulded EVA Midsole
An injection moulded EVA midsole which differs from the standard compression moulded EVA midsoles features in the TX 5 Walking Boots providing a high degree of cushioning. The midsole assists the propulsion phase of the gait cycle, making these shoes ideal for use on offroad trails. Furthermore, the EVA injected midsole drastically reduces the squash effect of the EVA over time, allowing the compound to maintain the same characteristics and high performance for its entire duration.
Vibram MegaGrip Outsole
The outsole uses a Vibram MegaGrip compound with differentiated lugs and an impact brake system for enhanced shock absorption and traction on all types of terrain. The outsole additionally supplies you with superior grip with rugged longevity as well as the optimal balance of stability and flexibility for ground adaptation, allowing you to use the feedback that you're getting from your foothold to stabilise and secure your next move.
