Over rough terrain or long approaches, La Sportiva’s Traverse X4 Mid GTX combines the grip and sensitivity of an approach shoe with the stability, support and weatherproofing of a hiking boot over a comfortable mid-sole designed for technical shock absorption on hard surfaces, ideal for approaches to the cliff or tricky day hikes in grip dependent environments.

This boot’s leather upper and waterproof Gore-Tex lining is super durable, protecting your feet from harsh rocky environments and miserable weather conditions while hiking or climbing. Extensive lacing from the heel down to the toes secures a performance fit for technical approaches and ankle support.

Over hard, rocky routes like Mount Beerwah in the Glass House Mountains, the MegaGrip Vibram sole will stick like a gecko, combined with a climbing zone at the toe and Impact Brake System at the rear, keeping your feet in control and stride confident moving between hard and soft terrains.

La Sportiva’s TX4 Mid GTX also comes in a low cut model designed for further versatility in steeper terrains.
