TX2 is the lightest technical approach shoe in the approach/multifunction Traverse X series: designed for mountain trails and for hooking onto a harness thanks to the C2 Combo Cord™ system that allows you to store the shoes quickly and compactly. Every detail is designed to guarantee lightweight, grip, comfort and protection during the approach phase and to allow the shoe to be used on more technical terrain in the mountains, right to the base of the wall. The boot has essential design uppers with no stitching in elasticated knit fabric, high abrasion resistance and reduced weight thanks to the all-round protective coating, Vibram MegaGrip sole conceived for climbing and return routes on technical terrain, the lacing system derived from Mythos climbing model regulates tension and inner volumes in one simple move. All features that combine the comfort of a trail running shoe to the technical characteristics of a climbing shoe. Traverse X is the ultimate expression of moving in the mountains quickly and safety.

Upper: Knitted fabric with different degrees of elasticity + PU TechLite on the toe and heel + rubber, all-round protective coating Lining: Non-slip Mesh Midsole: Shock absorbing, injected EVA Sole: Vibram Mega-Grip. Patent: C2 - Combo Cord™, lacing system derived
The innovative system is applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill. Created and developed by the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact. The unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.
EVA - INJECTED Highe degree of cushoning and high elasticity of the fabric. These features assist “push off” during the propulsion phase while running, making these models who use injected midsoles, ideal for use on off-road trails. Furthermore, EVA Injected midsole drastically reduce the “squash” effect of the EVA over time, allowing the product to mantain the same features for its entire duration.
The La Sportiva Mountain Running® footwear adopts 3 different kind of midsoles depending on the style and on the needed performances
In typical outdoor slang, the expression, “traverse ” indicates the approach to a climbing wall, a crossing on mixed terrain, a technical passage in off-road racing. Approach, Mountaineering and Mountain Running: 3 different approaches to outdoor exploits condensed in a “multifunction” series, Traverse X: 3 different models similar in design, lacing system, grip and comfort fit, differentiated in weight and materials.
