TX5 EVO GTX

I was a bit skeptical about a low-cut boot for exposed traverses, but the TX5 EVO GTX feels incredibly planted and precise on rocky terrain. The lighter design really makes a difference when you're moving fast between huts.

I was a bit nervous about ankle support in a low-cut boot, but the grip on wet scree has been incredible—stayed planted on a steep traverse I’ve slipped on before.

The low-cut design gives me just enough ankle freedom for quick hut-to-hut routes without feeling unstable, and the grip on wet scree has been flawless so far.
