La Sportiva TX2 EVO | Approach Shoe Review

Straight out of the box the TX2 EVO felt comfortable and needed no breaking in. I wore my usual size (EU42) which felt snug enough for a comfortable fit and confidence on technical sections, but with enough room that my toes were not hitting the front of the shoe on steep descents. The lacing system allows you to adjust the tightness all the way from your toes to your ankle, while the knitted upper envelopes your foot comfortably and securely. The knit removed the need for a tongue, meaning the shoe fits closely to your foot and feels like an extension of your foot rather than a clunky shoe. An added benefit of the knitted upper is that it sits close to your ankle, meaning there is little room for stones to enter, especially handy when tackling scree and bog.
