What are the TX4 Evo GTX Shoes?
The TX4 Evo GTX Shoes are durable, waterproof approach shoes designed for technical approaches and easy climbing routes. They provide optimum protection and comfort without compromise.
What are they made of?
Upper: The upper material is suede leather, which provides good flexibility and longevity to survive years of wear in harsh, rocky terrain. A protective rubber edge and toe cap support the upper and help to prevent the sides of your feet and toes from getting bashed against rocks.
Lining: A Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort lining provides exceptional waterproof protection and breathability, helping to regulate temperature and keep your feet comfortable and dry.
Footbed: An Ortholite® Hybrid Approach 4mm footbed provides underfoot comfort without costing the Earth—quite literally! It's made with recycled rubber, waste foam, and open-cell foam, which cuts down on the use of petroleum and energy within the manufacturing process and minimises the amount of waste that reaches landfills. Though more eco-friendly, the footbed doesn't compromise performance and still feels comfortable to wear in tougher terrain.
Midsole: A compression EVA midsole delivers ample underfoot comfort and support.
Sole: These shoes come with Vibram® MegaGrip soles that offer unmatched grip on both dry and wet terrains. These soles are great for moving over longer distances, giving you extra confidence and control in changeable environments. They help to maintain an optimal balance between stability and flexibility, adapting to the ground well, which is ideal for more technical approaches throughout the year.
After years of use, if your shoes are looking a little shabby, the Resole Platform™ allows you to get them resoled instead of buying a completely new pair.
What are their features?
An Impact Brake System™ is applied to the sole, designed to absorb more negative ground impact and improve grip, especially downhill. It features a unique lug pattern that encourages as many lugs as possible to touch the ground when you walk, giving any impact more room to spread and, therefore, absorbing more of the shock.
The climbing-inspired lacing system optimises the fit and allows for volume adjustments where necessary. Plus, a generous climbing zone at the toe guarantees precision and grip when climbing.
