excellent boot but very short living (lasted about 250 - 300 km on the hard Greek mountainous terrain). but as far as they last they have the best grip (it is an approach boot not a backpacking boot) and very good fit. they come only in the hi-cut version. keep in mind that there isn't a resole kit for the TX series. if short living is not important for you, go for it and you will not regret it. I own TX2, TX3 and TX5

Hi George, thanks for your comments, those gnarly Greek mountains are a test for any boot and there's always a compromise between excellent grip and longevity; much like car tyres. I'm sure that the lovely people at Lancashire Sports Repairs (lancashiresportsrepairs.co.uk/) would be able to offer a repair/re-sole. Paul.

What a great review I’ve got tx4 mid just hiked in the dolomites to 9000ft what a boot. Would the tx5 be a slightly softer impact ? Jason
@trekitt
@trekitt 19 күн бұрын
Glad you had a great time in the Dolomites with your TX4's. The TX5 has a slightly stiffer shank than the TX4 and has a deeper lugged sole that can make it better suited to wetter/muddier terrain. There is a little more midsole cushioning on the TX5 too, but overall with that stiffer shank they feel pretty similar. If you otherwise get on with your TX4 you could look into replacing the stock footbed with something from Superfeet or Sidas that would offer more impact protection. But we think you'd love the TX5 too if you did decide to go for a pair.

The TX5 GTX looks stiffer/firmer than the TX4 GTX. Is it true? Would you recommend the TX4 over the TX5 for hiking, hill waklking and backpacking? From what I've seen so far, the TX4 seems to have an even roomier toe box and the Megagrip sole seems to be even more aggressive and grippy.
@trekitt
@trekitt 19 күн бұрын
The TX5 is a little stiffer than the TX4, although much closer now with the TX4 Evo which is pretty much the same stiffness as the TX5 (by no means a stiff boot however). The TX5 is their primary hiker in the TX family, the TX4 is more aimed at approach and rockier terrain, the TX5 has a deeper lugged sole that is better suited to shedding mud and wetter conditions, whereas the slightly flatter lug profile on the TX4 suits rockier terrain better where grip is crucial. Both use Vibram Megagrip, but the differences in the sole design lend each one to slightly better performance in different areas, but both will cope just fine with what you can throw at them.

Hi, I am dubious between TX5 and Trango tech leather GTX. Wich of the two are better for mountaineering (Julian alps in Slovenia and Dolomites Italia mostly), rocky paths mostly under the treeline, wet, mud and above the treeline, but no hard core alpinism ? Let's say do it all allrounders. Thanks for answer.
@trekitt
@trekitt 29 күн бұрын
Tough call as they're both great boots. The Tx5 are softer and will have the edge in the wet and muddy sections, but then the Trango will take over on the rockier paths thanks to the stiffer shank. The big one for us would be whether you ever planned on using C1/2 crampons, in which case the Trango is the obvious choice, otherwise the TX5 are firm favourites here with Team Trekitt.

I really love your video reviews. I just bought 2 pairs (for my wife and me), to be used in Villarrica's winter season (volcan trekking, a bit of early snow, mud, wet grass, rain, etc.). Her pair is working flawlessly, BUT my pair has turned out terribly made. After only a 1 km trekking on snow and rain, and a bit 2 km on wet grass, my boots started to fail: glue tear off, wet shows on the "leather area where the 360 rubber covers the boot". 2 days of use and this happens. I feel so dissapointed at La Sportiva. These are supposed to be excellent quality. On Monday I'll have to cross my fingers for support where I bought them here in Chile (Santiago, 800 kms away from Villarrica) but in the meantime I am stuck with theses boots until I can find another store in Villarrica selling better quality outdoor gear. A real headache for my vacations and family trekkings and lake trips. If you do know of anyone in La Sportiva who could really understand and help me solve this in Chile, I'd really appreciate it, man. So far, all the reviews I've read on the Chilean forums, everybody is unhappy with support.

Hi there. This review (combined with Cotswolds review on the TX4), pretty much sold this type of multi purpose boot to me. I like the idea of a lightweight, waterproof hiking boot that’s hard wearing, good for a bit of scrambling and all sorts. I realise this review is a few years old now, so wasn’t entirely surprised to see that you no longer stock this boot. What would you say is the next best similar boot that you stock? I realise I should get a proper fitting, however I genuinely find that most size 11’s boots fit me just right as I’m a 10.5. Thanks

@@trekitt I've done about 900k in the last year in my Salomon Ultra 3 Mid, inc running on the roads, and there's a ton of tread left. 500k sounds disappointing.

Why on earth they put the faster wearing mega grip sole on this (TX5) shoe when the same sole is already on the approach shoe (TX4 ) I do not know. So if your a proper trekker (Wainwight Bagger etc) these will wear out too quickly. Shame as the TX4 caters superbly for Scrambles, Ridges etc.

Superb boot, but only for people with toe width on the narrow side. The toe box on these too arrow otherwise.

I would suggest they're more of an average width. But, still worth trying on if you can.

I bought my shoes from Hereford in January this year, love the shop but none of the foot measuring etc as described here. I was disappointed to be honest. I am not complaining but the service was not as described. I am very please with my Salewa Mens Wildfire Edge Navy though and they where good value for money.

Apologies for that, we always strive to offer the highest level of service when it comes to helping you choose footwear, rucksacks or any product for that matter. I'm glad you've got the correct fit and are pleased with your Wildfire's, and if you decide to purchase another pair of footwear from us we'll make sure to carry out a full footwear-fitting as described. Kind regards, Harry.

That's unusual, we wouldn't expect that from La Sportiva. We would recommend contacting the retailer you originally purchased them from or the manufacturer and starting a warranty claim, sounds like you got unlucky with a faulty pair.
