## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great outdoor adventure shoes
*by R***C on February 10, 2020*

I bought these for bikepacking. I love them for casual wear and for hiking too, but if you're in the market for a good approach shoe to use for long distance back country cycling, this is a superb option. Excellent grip on flat pedals, extremely comfortable, and with a reasonably narrow heel so that you don't constantly hit the cranks. Be sure and get at least a half size larger. I wear a normal size 12 in everything. I bought the 12.5 here and had to return them. I got the 12.5 - 13 and it was like they were custom made for my feet. These are marked 46.5 or 12 1/2+. The Amazon return was effortless.What I hate: the laces are too short. I'm going to take them out and replace them with some para cord or something similar. Also the orange cord loops at each lace entry point are meaningless styling - they serve no purpose at all. I may cut all that crap off.Anyway, they're great bike shoes with a good dense stiffish sole, but still comfortable for hike a bikes. I don't know how quickly they would dry, but the material feels somewhat thin and dense, so I don't think they would absorb much water to begin with, unlike most modern hiking shoes that are all foam and cloth.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best approach shoes I've tried!
*by J***E on October 1, 2020*

These are great. I bought a pair of the TX3s (same shoe with a mesh upper) about a year ago, planning on just using them for getting to and from the crag. They were so comfortable that I wore them almost everywhere, and they've taken a hell of a beating. I decided to get the TX4 this time, figuring the leather upper would be a bit warmer for winter. They're the best approach shoes I've ever tried, and good for just about any use. I took them out this weekend and broke them in with some light bouldering. I got up a couple V3s, and that's considering that I'm weak as hell from quarantine.The quality on these seems great, and the rubber sticks like glue. You can edge and smear fairly comfortably on sketchy approaches. The lace system really let's you get a snug fit without a ton of fiddling. And, most importantly, the big La Sportiva branding clearly indicates tells every gumby in the supermarket that you're a climber.I own a bunch of LA Sportiva climbing shoes, and typically buy them sized down 1-2 from my street shoes. If that's you, you should size these as you would a normal shoe, not your climbing shoes. I wear a 10.5 US street, and that's what I got here. They fit perfectly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible shoe for ferrata's as well as hiking
*by S***D on May 29, 2022*

I purchased these on Jun 20, 2021 and have beat the piss out of them since then, therefore I feel qualified to write this review.I did the Ouray via ferrata three times, the Telluride ferrata once, and went on numerous hikes, walks, and even mountain biked with them. One of the hikes was a particularly sketchy one with very loose gravel at a high incline. I hiked all around alta lakes with them as well. I actually did some, lets say mandatory rock sliding with them and came out unscathed.The verdict is that these shoes go way, WAY above and beyond what they were meant to do. I'll be taking them to both ferrata's again this year. They are incredibly comfortable for someone who has size 13 feet, but they are more robust than comfortable. What I mean by this is that if you spend 8+ hours in them, your feet will be a little bit sore. But this is because they're doing what they're supposed to; staying SOLID and keeping your feet where they need to be when it matters, especially when doing a ferrata. Highly recommend, I would buy these again and again until I'm too old to walk.
