TX4 GTX

Verdict

The La Sportiva TX4 GTX is a high-performing option in its class — a approach / technical scoring 86/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 390g, it is on the heavier side for a approach / technical. The 22mm heel stack — a minimal stack — delivers a firm ride at 44 HC, returning 42% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the TX4 GTX runs on a low 6mm drop that suits midfoot and forefoot strikers, with a 16mm forefoot stack that creates a naturally ground-hugging feel. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 90mm — medium-width, comfortable for most foot shapes — and the upper comes in a standard width. Runs narrow and short — size up half to full size. It is designed for via ferrata, approach routes, scrambling, mixed rock/trail, and performs less well for trail running or road.
