The 2021 La Sportiva TC Pro Climbing shoe is a re-Edit of the mid-cut climbing shoe dedicated to big walls and crack climbing. Comfortable and protective, it pays homage to the most iconic ascents of El Captain: Freerider by Alex Honnold and The Dawn Wall by Tommy Caldwell. The two routes are heat-branded on the top part of the uppers made of eco-leather with metal free tanning. TC Pro guarantees maximum comfort even after many hours of use as a result of the soft internal padding in the ankle area and in the front area. Peculiarity of the model: the high cut of the uppers, designed to protect the ankle from rubbing in the cracks. The extremely extended rubber round edge provides protection in the cracks while the lacing system at the toe is specially designed to protect the laces from rubbing against the rock. Uppers and tongue are extremely breathable to increase internal comfort. TC Pro also adopts the P3 patent, designed to maintain the arch of the shoe over time. The sole, made of Vibram® XS Edge compound, reduces deformation on the small, sharp holds. TC Pro: the legacy continues.
