- How does the TX4 Evo differ from the TX3?
- The TX4 Evo uses a nubuck leather upper for more durability and protection, while the TX3 is mesh-based and lighter and breathes better. The TX4 Evo is the warmer, tougher option.
- Is the TX4 Evo good for via ferrata?
- Yes. The sticky rubber outsole and lace-to-toe fit give good grip and control on rungs and easy rock. It is not a replacement for a stiff-soled climbing shoe on harder routes.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most owners say it fits true to size with a roomy toe box. Those between sizes or with narrow feet may want to size down or try both.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The nubuck leather sheds light moisture but the shoe is not waterproof, so it is not the best choice for wet, muddy conditions.
- How long does break-in take?
- Owners typically report a few outings before the leather softens. Wearing them around town first helps before long approaches.
- Where is the La Sportiva TX4 Evo M cheapest?
- At Backcountry, for $189.00, as of our latest check.
