La Sportiva's TX Hike Mid GTX rocks the trail and eco-friendly materials. This mid-cut hiking boot has plenty of technical performance with the new PFC-free GORE-TEX waterproofing and premium Vibram outsoles with 5mm lugs and an impact brake system for better downhill traction. We also like how the TX Hike Mid is vegan-friendly and features recycled and eco-certified materials to reduce our impact on the environment.
