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 Construction

The seams that hold the laces in place busted the first time I wore them outside: and this just for a walk down the road. I have narrow feet and wear the same size in all La Sportiva shoes. so it's not the size of my foot. As I already wore them and discarded the packaging, I can't return them. I have several La Sportiva trail running and hiking shoes and none have fallen apart as these have—and certainly not the first time I wore them. I was a loyal La Sportiva customer...probably not anymore. Disappointed with this purchase.

Pretty poopy. Soul of shoe is coming off, back of shoe broke and gave me a hug blister. Love La Sportiva, but hated these. And yes, used as true approach shoes.

Early, but I don't hate them

I've been wearing the synthetic/non-leather version of the TX Guides for over a year, and figured I would try the leather version since they were on sale. I do find them to be as comfy - or more - than the non leather version. Maybe a bit more forgiving in the width? I bought them half a size up for comfort/all day wear, and was still able to confidently climb a 5.6 pitch in them (although I would've been happier in my normal, tighter sized approach shoes -- I am also not a phenomenal climber, by any means). It might be too early to say (only had for a couple months), but they seem to be wearing as expected/similarly to the non leather version. They are not overly durable shoes -- but I wasn't really expecting them to be. Kinda similar to climbing shoes, I guess. Consumable. I do wish they could be resoled. I'm not huge on the colour, but that doesn't affect their use. For sizing reference: I wear size 36 in LS climbing shoes; 36.5 in LS approach shoes for a tighter fit; and 37 in LS light mountaineering boots/comfort fit in approach shoes.
