La Sportiva's TX2 Evo Approach shoe is a light and airy choice for long approaches to far-out climbs. Its polyester upper has rubber randing to bolster its support around our feet while also offering breathability. The light synthetic fabric also makes it incredibly easy to squish into our bags for when we need to strap into the real climbing shoes. Of course, we can't forget the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole: this strong rubber compound acts like a magnet to the ground below to ensure slipping is a thing of the past.
