Light and rugged

- I've put it through the wringer
I can't say enough good things about these shows. This is my third pair of TX3 and Tx4 low top approach shoes. I've been hiking in the mountains for 50+ years and these are the best low top shoes I have ever had on my feet. So comfortable! Ditto for my Sportiva TX4 boots they totally rule. These are the cordura nylon upper version. I also have the leather version and the older Cordura nylon version. They provide plenty of support in rough terrain, have great traction on dirt, leaves and really shine on rocks and boulders. and are seriously light weight. The nylon upper doesn't heat up my feet when it is warm. They don't get nicked up bushwhacking.They dried out fast when I slipped in the creek and after hiking many miles in a downpour and remained comfortable when wet. They are fully adjustable and fit my narrow feet like a sock. My Wife has a pair and they fit her wide feet very nicely in the men's version and are now her #1 go to. They run small so order up at least a half size like all Sportiva shoes.

Golden standard of approach shoe

Great shoe, getting half a size up makes a comfort fit. Nice stiff shoe with good breathability and amazing traction. And it’s reasonable which makes it worth the investment alone.

More of a mustard color. Quite dull, frankly.

I've only had these for a week ..... still breaking them in ..... but they are identical to the TX4 EVOs (leather) I've had for 6 months over the winter .... and much more breathable. Just what I wanted for warmer weather, because I've loved the leather ones. Great for hiking, scrambling, and approach. And resole-able!! I up-sized from my normal 44.5 in most shoes to a 45 based on online reviews and have been very happy. Great fit, wider toebox, great edging and smearing.
