La Sportiva TX5 Evo Mid GTX hiking boots - chestnut/grey size: 42_5

Rocky trails and sudden weather shifts can turn a good hike into a struggle. The La Sportiva TX5 Evo Mid GTX answers with a mid-cut design that shields ankles from twists while a GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining keeps water out without trapping sweat. Nubuck leather and a full rubber rand shrug off abrasion, while the Vibram MegaGrip outsole digs into loose terrain. Built for hikers and trekkers who push beyond the tree line, this boot pairs a compression-molded EVA midsole with Infinitoo PU inserts for all-day cushioning and rebound.

Who is it for

Ideal for hikers, trekkers, and approach enthusiasts who tackle variable terrain in wet or dry conditions. The TX5 Evo Mid GTX suits those carrying light to medium packs and needing reliable ankle support without the bulk of a mountaineering boot. Whether you're on a weekend backpacking trip or a fast-and-light summit push, this boot delivers protection and grip.
