Review on La Sportiva Men's TC Pro Climbing Shoe: The Ultimate Performance Gear for Elite Climbers by Bob Vulpes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Clear narrow edges, sticky, dense and comfortable

I love these shoes. I cut myself on a pair of entry-level La Sportiva shoes and while they were important, I was too new to climbing to really know what I needed in a shoe. I've been climbing for about 7-8 months. Lead climbing and abseiling indoors. I finally did it outside two weeks ago and after my first 10.a climb on real rock I knew I had to look for other shoes. I've read a lot of shoe reviews online and after learning more I decided to give the TC Pro a try now that my climbing style is toe out and in a lot. I'm stuck at 10.a and b. Maybe a random .c that I couldn't complete. When I first went to the gym, I put them on and immediately went to 10.d. I have very bad bones in my big toes so shoes would fit better and even then the rest of the toes were not tight but tight. I can lace them up to fit. They stretched a little. I bought 46 and wear work boots 12-12.5. These shoes are sticky. Very comfortable tongue, super clear edges. Your legs will feel like they're being pushed to the point where the handle and wall meet. Great heel support for the hook here and there. Couldn't be happier and can't wait to get back outside to try them on real rock.
