La Sportiva TC Pro Climbing Shoe
A masterpiece evolved! What happens when Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold look to improve a classic design? Perfection through evolution. From sending the Dawn Wall to free soloing Freerider, both climbers have come together to bring you the TC Pro updates you never knew you needed.
First, the gang reduced webbing thickness on the medial lacing harness, thereby increasing comfort in foot jams. They also buttressed the shoe with a new rubber rand pattern to increase durability and performance when you're high off the deck.
As always, the mid-height cuff features padding in the ankles for extra protection in wider cracks, while the ventilated and well-padded tongue increases air flow and comfort. Further increasing air flow for those epic days out, the perforated leather uppers allow your foot to breath. Finally, Sportiva tossed Vibram XS Edge rubber all over the shoe for the ultimate in edging performance.
