Expert Review
The TX Guides are the approach shoes I wear on a daily basis. They are durable, stable, and climb really well. I can spend all day guiding in the Gunks without ever taking them off. I also like them for climbing areas with long approaches and for routes where I know I won’t need them to walk off.
