    A must have for rock approaches and long hikes to the start of the climb. These things also climb like a dream in the alpine. A MUST HAVE!

    The approach shoes fit a little tight/narrow, but climb almost as well as a rock shoe. I love wearing these on long mellow climbs, or more technical approaches where secure footing matters.

    The old TX4 leather was my go-to approach shoe. It was durable, and climbed well enough for my taste. I've now switched to the TX Guide Leather. It climbs SO well, and it's comfy enough. I do wish it had a wider toe box, but comfort is sacrificed for performance.
