Women's approach shoes La Sportiva TX2 Evo - carbon/hibiscus size: 38

Technical approaches and via ferrata demand a shoe that balances grip, precision, and all-day comfort. The La Sportiva TX2 Evo delivers exactly that, with a women's-specific fit and a lightweight build that doesn't compromise on protection. Its knitted upper adapts to your foot, while the Vibram® Idrogrip outsole with climbing zone ensures confident edging and smearing on rock. The Mythos-style lacing system wraps the foot securely, and the compressed EVA midsole offers cushioning without dulling sensitivity. At just 265 g per shoe (size 38), it's a versatile companion for light hiking and technical terrain.

Who is it for

This shoe is built for women who move fast in the mountains—approach scrambles, via ferrata routes, and long days where every gram counts. The ergonomic, precise fit suits narrower feet, and the resoleable construction extends the shoe's life for dedicated climbers and hikers.

Tips

For the best fit, try the TX2 Evo with the socks you plan to wear on approaches. The lacing system allows fine adjustment—tighten for technical sections, loosen for descents. Resole when the climbing zone wears to maintain grip and extend the shoe's life.
