The Gear Shed - La Sportiva TX Canyon Review

In this video, Trevor and Kailee are breaking down what the La Sportiva TX Canyon feels like on the river. This is La Sportiva's dedicated canyoneering shoe and we finally got our hands on the shoe for our 2022 France trip where the team used these for boating, canyoneering, and via ferrata. We're breaking down some features of this shoe as well as some important considerations on the water.
If you want to learn more about this shoe you can also check out our first look where we sat down with La Sportiva and discussed what went into the design and construction of the shoe: www.raftingmag...

I have been using this shoe for the past couple years for kayaking. I paddle over a 100 days a year and absolutely love the shoe for kayaking. It is super sticky rubber and have I have had no problems with fit or comfort in the kayak. It is my go to shoe for everything from day trips to expeditions on the river. Unlike the reviewers I would totally recommend this shoe for kayaking

5:12 Really appreciate the kayaking-specific comments! Fingers crossed for a future LaS/Astral collab

Great review thanks! As a sizing data point- what size Astral do you wear and what size TX Canyon is similar?

[@RaftingMagazine]

Thanks Alvaro, if you are a size 11.5 in men's or 45.5 most folks are finding that the size 10 or 43.5 is about the right size once you put on a drysuit sock and warm layer socks. Hoe that helps!

How would you rate the underfoot protection in comparison to the tx3?
