La Sportiva TX5 Evo Mid GTX Men's Hiking Boots Carbon/Yellow Size 47

On a rugged alpine traverse, where loose scree and sudden downpours test every step, the La Sportiva TX5 Evo Mid GTX delivers uncompromising stability and waterproof protection. Built for hikers and backpackers who demand reliability on technical terrain, this mid-cut boot combines a durable nubuck leather upper with a full rubber rand and toe cap for abrasion resistance. The GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining keeps feet dry while allowing breathability during high-output climbs. Underfoot, the Vibram MegaGrip outsole with Impact Brake System provides exceptional traction on wet rock and steep descents, while the compression-molded EVA midsole and Ortholite Hybrid footbed offer all-day cushioning. With a traditional lacing system and board-lasting construction, the TX5 Evo Mid GTX delivers a secure, comfortable fit for medium-volume feet.

Good to know

La Sportiva recommends sizing up half a size from your street shoe for optimal fit with hiking socks. The board-lasting construction provides torsional rigidity for stability on uneven ground, while the medium-volume fit accommodates most foot shapes. Pair with gaiters for extra protection in snow or mud. Regular cleaning and conditioning of the nubuck leather will extend the boot's life.
