Lovely to see a review from somebody who has really worn and put a pair of boots to work.

@rickgriffin3567 8 месяцев назад

Excellent review, very detailed just what I was looking for.

Thank you. Brilliant video

Honestly the most comfy approach shoes I've ever owned. Only downside and the reason I am not buying them anymore: the sole was worn out after only 6 (!) months. That's too short for what they charge for a pair. pro-Tipp: size up, they run pretty small.

Been wearing them for a fair few years now and gone through many pairs. Two years ago I bought a gortex lined pair and the ones that aren’t. Interestingly the gortex ones are lasting so much better. Huge difference. I’ll be buying the gortex ones from now on.

A brilliant boot and trainer Daniel.Sportive are amazing full stop.Great review.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

They're really sticky aren't they? I went out in my old clunky leather hiking boots the other week and did some impromptu scrambling and I was slipping everywhere, such a huge difference.

@This.Island.Earth68 10 месяцев назад

Bought myself a pair of TX4 shoes on the strength of your review. Looking to get up to Snowdonia next month to try them out.

@thebaldscrambler 10 месяцев назад

I certainly like 'em!

@gxaxw666 6 месяцев назад

I am in need of advice. Which one is better? TX4 or the Ultra Raptor II Mid?

@bilaltahir9978 7 месяцев назад

How do they perform on significant road sections of the trail? Also are they comfortable for all day wear?

@alansmith3733 7 месяцев назад

Are they better than the salewa wildfire edge?

@tecmissle9256 6 месяцев назад

I need to buy shoes for rocks and cliffs, I went to try those but i tried bang on my size and the toebox was so tight not wide enough. Is there a wide version and if it is i did not know. For rocks many people say this is one of the best shoe there is. I might check a size up.

Perfect great review. La Sportiva should pay you!! ;-)

@thebaldscrambler 9 месяцев назад

I wish!

@whatscreenname 4 месяца назад

But then the review wouldn’t be honest anymore 😉

@bilaltahir9978 2 месяца назад

how much space do you keep between your toe and toe box for approach shoes like the tx4 when scrambling? Do you go a tighter precision fit or a more comfortable hiking fit with a thumb width space between your toes and toe box?

@clogsonthemountain 11 месяцев назад

Just bought the TX5 mate, game changer!

@thebaldscrambler 11 месяцев назад

I'd like to know how they perform on rock, the tread on the sole look quite chunky. Let me know how you get on.

@clogsonthemountain 11 месяцев назад

@thebaldscrambler been using them on limestone here in the Dolomites. Really grippy and very comfortable. Like them better than my TX4s

@TG-pd3ft 11 месяцев назад

@@clogsonthemountain Very stiff... Ok for big edges but no good for slabby smears. TX5 is a mountain hiking boot, not a scrambling. And they're even hotter in summer

@clogsonthemountain 11 месяцев назад

@TG-pd3ft the ones I've got are not boots, approach shoes and have been able to smear them on my latest 5C

@thebaldscrambler 11 месяцев назад

@@clogsonthemountain Really? Wow, are they a bit firmer? They look more solid in the pics I've seen. Have fun out there.

@whatscreenname 4 месяца назад

Do these stretch/break in at all?

@rogerbean393 7 месяцев назад

Very good honest review ,thank you. How long would you expect them to last ? Got 2 years from Hagloffs !

@gingerale3018 9 дней назад

The upper part is quite long lasting and made of great quality materials. I doubt the sole will give u more than a year. Mine were worn out after 6 months.

@mountfairweather 8 месяцев назад

Man these shoes are bomber. They can handle mountains and are good looking enuff to pick up your mom in there local pub. 5 stars

@jaja-nw2ft 11 месяцев назад

Correct me if I am wrong, but TX5 looks a little more narrow than TX4 - is this true?

@thebaldscrambler 11 месяцев назад

Yes, the TX4 has a wide sole and is about 12mm wider than my Salewa Wildfire 2 shoes, both size 11.5 UK.

@vvs3796 Месяц назад

I normally wear size 11,would you recommend to go half size up with these shoes?

@TG-pd3ft 11 месяцев назад

2:20 sadly the dreaded Goretex is not optional on the boot version. Hot feet are obligatory. 5-10 if you're watching, please bring back the Camp Four non-GTX boot which was so perfect! No decent non-GTX scrambling boot currently exists

@thebaldscrambler 11 месяцев назад

I purchased a pair of Salewa Wildfire 2 shoes so gonna see how they perform soon. I've only ever worn boots so a change for me.

@LenMetcalf 4 месяца назад

I prefer the gortex ones. lol. Each to our own.

@jeffdana9402 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely love these approach shoes. But the LACES !!! They snap, snare, scuff and break FAR to soon. La Sportiva can/could/should re-design the laces and they would last longer. I always carry spare laces and have had to create ways to cut and tie the Orange 'side laces'. Either and both have failed on every pair leaving me to engineer with replacement laces.

@thebaldscrambler 11 месяцев назад

I was worried about that when I first looked at them but so far, my laces are intact. Lucky me!

@JohnnyBushwhacker-yv6bc 6 месяцев назад

I’ve had the laces break in the middle of long hike/scrambles in Red Rock near Las Vegas on 2 occasions on a pair of low top TX4 and TX2s. Luckily the first time I saw they were iffy so I packed some laces and will never leave home without extra. Otherwise the TX series are amazing shoes. I have the TX2 evo leather and laces have been good so far and although I love the shoe there’s just not enough support so I’m one hike/scramble in with the TX4 mid GTX and they felt great although I miss the better edging.
