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.

Major durability issues
1 year ago
This could be a great shoe but sadly this model has major durability issues. I’ve had three pairs all replaced under warranty, and every single pair has started to fall apart (completely tear) where the leather meets the outer sole within 1 month. It’s funny because I recently saw my friend who has the same pair and sure enough his was completely torn open at the same spot. The last TX2 Leather model I had lasted 3 years and a resole without ever tearing. Please fix this issue with the TX2s La Sportiva!

Resole
2 years ago
Bought because I liked the idea of an approach shoe that can be resoled, I've had La Sportiva's in the past and my only complaint is how fast the soles wear down. This seemed like a great option but now 3 month after purchase the right sole is falling off and REI has no idea how to get the resoling done, La Sportiva has nothing about having it done on their website and the climbing shoe resoler I've used in three past would cost almost as much as the shoes. Would love to love them but aside from comfort they've been a let down at every step.

Excellent technical approach shoe.
2 years ago
This is almost a full blown climbing shoe. Not the shoe for big approaches or loose stuff. Great for technical approaches and down climbs. The sole is super sticky and will wear out fast. Can be resoled at major climbing shoe resolers, e.g., Tahoe Gripworks, for about half the cost of new. Me likey.
Yes , I recommend this product
