Consumer Contract Regulations (CCR)

What are the Consumer Contract Regulations?

Under the "Consumer Contract Regulations, you have the right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance. These rights start from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

Your right to cancel

Your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

This 14 day period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, you then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back.

Your Right to a Refund under CCR

You may get a refund within 14 days of either, the trader getting the goods back, or you providing evidence of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), whichever is the sooner.

A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.

Refunding the cost of delivery

The trader has to refund the basic delivery cost of getting the goods to you in the first place, so if you opted for enhanced service e.g. guaranteed next day, it only has to refund the basic cost.

Exemptions

There are some circumstances where the Consumer Contracts Regulations does not give you a right to cancel. These include CDs, DVDs or software if you've broken the seal on the wrapping, perishable items and tailor-made or personalised items. They also include goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that have been broken or tampered with, e.g. Climbing Equipment and PPE.

My goods are broken

If you feel that your item is defective/broken/faulty and it is still under warranty, please contact our Customer Support team([email protected])with as much information as possible with regards to the fault, including photos if applicable.

We want to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible, the first step for this is reducing our waste. Therefore, please note that we will always offer a professional repair in the first instance; if the product can be repaired.

This may involve your product being sent back to our suppliers or to a professional repair company. Please note that due tovaried procedures, warranty claims and repairs can take between 2 and 4 weeks to be concluded

La Sportiva Men's TX5 Evo GTX Hiking Shoes Cypress / Mountain Red

Season:SS26

Brand:La Sportiva

Code:FHS106E47R24M

La Sportiva TX5 EVO MID GTX Hiking Boots
Grip You Can Trust on Any Terrain The moment your foot hits slick rock or loose scree, you feel it — that bite of Vibram Megagrip doing its job. These boots dig in where others slip, delivering planted, predictable footing on steep climbs, technical descents, and wet mountain mud. Exactly how a proper mountain boot should feel.

What are the La Sportiva Men’s TX5 EVO GTX Hiking Shoes?

The TX5 EVO GTX are technical hiking shoes built for demanding mountain days. Whether tackling a via ferrata, crossing scree slopes, or hiking from hut to hut, these shoes offer the perfect mix of stability, grip, and comfort. They are light enough for long days yet tough enough for rugged outdoor adventures.

What are they made of?

Nubuck Leather Upper

The upper is premium nubuck leather, a material valued for its exceptional balance of toughness and comfort. Nubuck’s dense yet supple texture resists abrasions from rocks, roots, and trail debris, while gradually moulding to your foot for a personalised, supportive fit.

GORE-TEX ePE Extended Comfort — Waterproof and Breathable Protection

Inside, the GORE-TEX ePE Extended Comfort membrane delivers reliable waterproofing to shield your feet from stream crossings, wet grass, or sudden downpours. The GORE-TEX ePE Extended Comfort membrane is a next-generation waterproof and breathable technology designed for active use in warmer conditions or during high-output pursuits.

Made from expanded polyethylene (ePE), it’s thinner, lighter, and stronger than traditional GORE-TEX membranes. It keeps feet dry in wet conditions while efficiently releasing heat and moisture to prevent that clammy feeling. It’s also a more sustainable choice — PFAS-free, with a lower carbon footprint and use of responsibly sourced textiles, while maintaining the long-lasting durability and protection GORE-TEX is known for.

Ortholite Hybrid Mountain Hiking 5mm Footbed

The Ortholite Hybrid Mountain Hiking 5mm footbed delivers exceptional comfort and performance thanks to its thoughtfully engineered open-cell foam construction. This design enhances breathability and moisture management by wicking sweat away from your feet, keeping trails cool and dry.

Despite its slim 5mm profile, it offers impressive long-term cushioning, maintaining over 95% of its resilience even after extended wear.

CM EVA Midsole — Responsive Cushioning and Impact Management

The CM (compression-moulded) EVA midsole provides lasting comfort and dependable performance on the trail. Shaped EVA foam under heat and pressure creates a denser, more uniform structure than standard injection moulding, resulting in greater durability, stability, and consistency from pair to pair.

On the trail, it delivers a cushioned, responsive feel, absorbing impact during descents to protect joints while providing an energetic rebound on climbs to help maintain momentum. Lightweight yet supportive, the CM EVA midsole strikes the ideal balance between plush comfort and structural integrity, reducing fatigue and keeping you steady over big-mile days and varied terrain.

Vibram Megagrip Outsole with Impact Brake System

The Vibram Megagrip outsole with Impact Brake System gives you confident footing across various surfaces and conditions. The Megagrip rubber compound is prized for its exceptional balance of stickiness and durability, delivering secure traction on everything from slick, rain-soaked rocks to loose scree and muddy trails.

It maintains grip without sacrificing wear life, making it a favourite among mountain athletes and long-distance hikers. The Impact Brake System takes this a step further with uniquely angled lugs that act like mini anchors on steep descents, reducing slip and improving braking control, while their forward edges enhance propulsion when climbing.

Together, these technologies provide a stable, surefooted ride that inspires confidence while navigating technical alpine approaches, wet forest paths, or mixed-terrain day hikes.

Resole Platform Inserts

The Resole Platform inserts are an innovative, sustainability-minded feature designed to extend the working life of your footwear. Integrating a dedicated resole interface into the shoe’s construction allows the outsole to be professionally replaced once worn down, meaning you can keep the same trusted fit and broken-in comfort without starting from scratch.

This not only saves money over time but also reduces landfill waste. The inserts are made with 7% recycled material, proving that durability and environmental responsibility can work hand in hand.

What are its features?

Approach-Inspired Lacing System

Borrowed from technical approach shoes, the La Sportiva TX5 EVO’s lacing system extends further down towards the toe box, allowing for micro-adjustments along the entire foot length. This design provides a snug, supportive fit for technical terrain, ensuring your foot stays secure during edging, scrambling, or uneven trail sections.

Paired with low-friction eyelets and robust laces, it distributes pressure evenly to prevent hot spots, while the closely spaced eyelets at the forefoot give you fine control over tension — perfect for dialling in comfort whether you prefer a looser fit for long hikes or a locked-in feel for precision moves.

Protective Toe Rand

The TX5 EVO features a sturdy rubber toe rand that wraps seamlessly around the forefoot, acting as the first line of defence against sharp rocks, scree, and trail debris. This protective layer shields your toes from painful impacts.

It reinforces one of the shoe’s highest wear areas, ensuring the upper maintains its structure and durability on rocky approaches or technical scrambles.

Heel Pull Loop — Easy to Hang, Clip, or Carry

The TX5 EVO features a compact, durable heel loop that’s perfect for attaching the shoes to a harness, backpack, or carabiner when you’re on the move. This simple additio

La Sportiva TX5 EVO MID GTX Review
La Sportiva TX5 EVO MID GTX Review We’ve put these through long mountain days — wet ground, sharp limestone, slippery mud — and they just keep delivering. The fit is classic La Sportiva: snug, secure, and precise without feeling tight. They strike an excellent balance between structure and flexibility, staying comfortable under load while still allowing natural movement. After hours on your feet, the cushioned midsole really shows its value.
La Sportiva TX5 EVO MID GTX Rocky Terrain Performance
How Do They Perform on Steep or Rocky Terrain? Exceptionally well. The 3D Flex Evo ankle system allows you to edge, pivot, and adjust without fighting the boot — no stiff, ski-boot feel here. Combined with the Vibram Megagrip outsole, they bite confidently into rock and loose gravel, keeping you surefooted when the terrain turns technical.
La Sportiva TX5 EVO MID GTX Breathability
Are They Too Warm for Summer Hiking? Not at all. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane combined with subtle side perforations allows moisture and heat to escape effectively. They stay waterproof without feeling sealed-in or sweaty, making them a strong all-season choice for UK conditions and varied climates.
