Sizing Notes
For boots: Add one half size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters.

Poor quality and not durable.
2 years ago
The soles detached, shoe laces broke and interior liner wore through within a month. I sent the shoes back to La Sportiva for warranty replacement which they honored but sent me Guide TX rather than Guide Leather shoes but ok. 6 months later the replacement shoes have hole in the uppers next to the rand. So I got 7 months out of two pair of TX Guide shoes, I usually get 18 months out of a pair of Scarpa Zen Pros.

Poor quality.

After 2 moderate hikes, on basic terrain maybe 8 miles, the rubber outsole on heal is delaminating. Second pair of sportiva in a row to fail quickly, I love how both shoes fit but I just can't justify spending $$$ with this brand anymore

Narrow!
3 years ago
For reference, I measure 9.5 on the brannock and wear a size 10 in anything Nike; the Scarpa Crux approach shoe fits me perfectly in a size 42.5. The idea of a well-made close fitting combination hiking and climbing shoe was the big attraction for me, but the bottom line is this shoe is too narrow for me - bone-crunchingly so, even with thin running socks and trying both the 42.5 and the 43. Really like the concept of this shoe, features and construction but had to return them.

Super short laces
1 year ago
The laces are so incredibly short that once I loosen them a little to put my foot in they are too short to tie. The only thing I can figure is that your foot has to be so low volume that the intention is to tighten them more than they come out of the box. If I totally cranked down to the point where my foot would fall asleep the laces were barely long enough to tie. I sized up too. These are going back. I wish it were sized to fit normal people as I like the feel of it, but obviously if you can't tie the laces it's pointless.
