La Sportiva TC Pro Vibram XS Edge Climbing Shoe reviews and deals for sale

What can I say

It's something to be said when you're racking up for your climb at the Gunk's and everyone around you is also wearing TC Pros. I mean that says enough I believe. Fantastic shoes ?

Fast, A + shoes, lackluster presentation

True to their promise, these shoes arrived in two days, and I can't wait to start climbing in them! Docked two stars because they arrived dusted with cat hair, a dirty crumpled tag, and VERY foot-smelly-- I can tell they had been returned by at least one person who had already worn them climbing, which leads me to believe I must have gotten the last pair of size 39s. A bit disappointed,… read more but will disinfect, clean, and wear all the same.

Game changer

When I first started climbing I had a pair of shoes that were crazy uncomfortable, and I just stuck with them because I thought all climbing shoes were that way. These shoes proved me wrong. Not only are they comfy enough to keep on when I’m belaying, they work super well for crack climbing. If they’re good enough for Alex Honnold they’re good enough for me.

Awesome Shoes

I really love how these shoes are not supper aggressive in style. They are more of a medium stiffness shoe. I love how they fit on the foot! They are a perfect fit and give you great support and traction while on the wall. I love how they kind of come up your ankle and give some support. Would totally recommend!

Crack Climbing Monkey

I have used a slight curve gym shoe for the past while because I haven't been able to buy crack shoes. I got a hold of these and its like the heavens opened and just started running up splitters! Yes, just yes. Comfortable, high ankle for support, toe coverage. Solid shoe.

Great Shoe!

I moved from the Evolv Night Hawk to the TC pro and could not be happier! I generally wear size 8.5-9 US street shoe and the 40.5 size was perfect for me. This shoe excels in almost any discipline but really sets its self apart from other shoes when climbing crack. They still handle amazingly on slab and face climbing. They are durable and comfortable enough to be worn on long multi… read more pitch climbs. The only thing I think could have been better was the tongue of the shoe. In my experience the tongue tends to get folded when i put my foot in them, but it is an easy fix and doesn't take away from the functionality of the shoe its self.

Amazing shoe, I will never use any shoe

These shoes are my absolute favorite! They are comfortable and the laces let you adjust them for a tighter or looser fit. I use these for all of my climbing, I bought them specifically for crack climbing per the recommendation of a friend and I was not disappointed! The toe is slightly asymmetrical and I have been able to do slab and shelves in granite and sandstone both with amazing… read more grip. I like the high top style to protect my ankles as well and the heel on these are really molded so you can confidently hook yourself on to anything. Best shoes I have ever owned and very much worth the price.

Bomber

I had heard from friends that these were highly rated trad shoes so I decided to give them a spin on a couple pitches in Utah. They edged perfectly, never slipped, and were superb at supporting foot jamming—not to mention they were insanely comfortable and kept my ankles protected. If you are trying to find a moderate shoe you can wear all day at the crag, then this is the shoes… read more for you.

Best Trad Shoe

I really love these shoes especially for granite trad climbing. The rubber is nice and tacky and the profile does a great job at allowing you to tow in on slabby holds that you wouldn't expect. The higher cuff is also great for keeping your ankles protected when climbing slitters. And the padded tongue does a great job a keep your feet a bit more comfortable when camming your foot… read more in a crack. If you are looking for a trad shoe to add to your collection I would highly recommend these. I typically wear a 46 street shoe and in these guys I take a 45. They are roomy enough to be comfortable for long days on the wall but tight enough to deliver performance without pain.

Amazing Shoe

Got to try these on a trip and I absolutely loved them! I would recommend them to everyone!

Love these shoes

My dad has been rocking the hytop style since he started in the 80's and he has always loved them. Thought I'd give them a shot, and I have to say... he is 100% right. I love them. They are great on long climbs, and have been good bouldering too. They are the kind of shoes that you can stay in all day.

La Sportiva TC Pro

The best thing since sliced bread? Almost certainly. The best thing ever? Quite possibly so. Designed by Mr. El Cap himself (it’s in the name) and manufactured by industry titan La Sportiva, these shoes are a quintessential step towards becoming a true TC BRO. But jokes aside, from slab to crack to face, these shoes will be your vehicle into the vertical world. As long as it’s… read more not overhanging (not to say that I haven’t sent my fair share of overhangs in my pair), the TC pros are, in my honest opinion, the best shoe to do every job great. The La Sportiva 3p whatever does an amazing job holding the form and rigidity of the outer while the “old school” laces actually work, unlike those new Velcro whatsits. Edges you can shave with and vibrant XS edge will have you standing on granite razor blades in no time, but don’t feel bad if you resolve with Stealth. As my (almost) one shoe quiver for the past six months I, surprisingly, have nothing but good to say about these shoes. Almost as surprising, I have yet to need a resolve, although I can see it looming closer every time I skip off a sharp hold. Buy it in your La Sportiva size, comfy and capable, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

Shouldn't Have Started Here

Beginner, looking for my first pair of shoes. I had the extreme pleasure and misfortune of borrowing a broken-in pair of TC Pros to start with and regret it fully. They are super comfortable and my bony ankles feel secure behind the high top coverage. The issue is they are three times the shoe I need at this point in my progression. I hope to come back to them someday for all… read more day comfort on multi-pitch but for now I only aspire. I was sized down 1/2 from street shoe and they were money.

some good ass shoes

good climbing shoes

Absolute Best

These are hands down my favorite climbing shoes. I use these primarily for granite and sandstone, whether crack or slab, they're magical. I got these a half size bigger than I typically wear in climbing shoes so I could more comfortably climb cracks and multi-pitch routes, but I find myself still choosing these over my other shoes even for sport routes and technical face climbing.… read more They're stiff, but soft, the rubber grips everything you put it on and it seems to have good durability so far. Only minor wear even after slab climbing on granite in full sun and 90 degrees. The ankle protection is such a wonderful addition too for that occasion that a crack is just wide enough, no more bloody ankles! These fit true to size, I typically wear an 11 street shoe and I have the 44.5 in these which fits ever so slightly on the big side.

All-around Awesome

I was seriously impressed by the fit, durability, and function of this climbing shoe. The ankle support was great while crack climbing and the shoe was honestly comfortable even during long climbing days. A bit stiff, but still performed well on slab, so I would highly recommend this for an all-around awesome shoe.

T-Gunz Pro

These shoes meet and exceed all expectation. I wear a 9.5 street shoe, and a 41 in the Swarma (relatively comfortably) and wear a 41.5 in the TC Pros. These fit comfortable (not as tight as a bouldering shoe), which is what I prefer for crack climbing. Super solid sole and amazing for small granite nubbins.

Awesome Do It All Shoe

These shoes are the best for all day trad, crack climbing and everything in between. The super still sole lends confidence on micro edges like no other shoe. The ankle coverage is great for scuffing around in Offwidth and hand cracks. The only downside is that the larger toe profile makes it a little tricky to foot jam in anything smaller than a number one.

Masters at their craft

These shoes excel in what they were created to do. Big wall assents and all day adventures at the Crag. I had an opportunity to try a pair of these out and I definitely enjoyed them for the multi-pitch sport routes we were climbing. I even took them to joes valley with me and used them on a couple not so aggressive boulder problems. I love the high ankle support and fit, which if… read more I had more time in them, were molding to my feet. If you're looking for a great shoe for long days on the wall with Cracks and smears, these are the shoes for you.

I am wondering if I can order this in men’s size 48?

LADIES! Or men who wear WOMEN'S Miura VS... How do these compare in size?

Has the issue with the seam splitting been fixed in recent years/revisions (if any) of this shoe? I haven't seen much mention in the past 3 years of reviews. I love the reviews on the performance of this shoe but I hate to spend 180 dollars as an intermediate climber just to have it fall apart. Second, is seam sealing easy to do?

Recently tore a bunch of ligaments in and around my ankle. Just sold my Mythos after a long ten years together and am looking at getting a new pair of shoes. Anyone have any experience with these shoes providing a little extra stability in the ankle region? I'm a novice, although I climb fairly consistently I might not be able to notice the more subtle advantages of this shoe as… read more more advanced climbers can. The lace up around the ankle though seems very appealing these days.

I am a 41.5 - 42 in the Miura VS and yet a 40 in the tarantulace. Whats a good size on these?

How much can I expect these shoes to stretch? I am looking for an all day shoe for multi-pitch trad and alpine. I just ordered a size 42 and 43. 42 is performance tight (toes slightly curled) and won't fit the bill for an all day shoe. 43 is very comfortable, and I could probably get a sock under it if needed. I've had people tell me to expect a 1/4 size stretch. If that's… read more the case 42.5 might be what I'm looking for after the break in. If the won't stretch that far, I'll just go with the 43. What do you folks think?

I've got a pair of cobras in a 38.5 and they are pretty tight and very good at edging. Looking to getting a pair of these for longer trad routes but having them also be proficient on single pitch cracks and face climbing. Any size suggestions?

I have another damn size/fit/stretch question! I just got a pair of these and my toes are a little bit curled at the end, which make em a little uncomfortable for straight up crack climbing. How much can i expect them to stretch, or should i go up a half size? thanks!

I'd love a pair of these. A little confused about the sizes, though. Worn 42s in various Sportivas for years. Currently got 42 in Muiras, very tight, probably prefer .5 up next time. But I also wear Mythos a lot, 41 or 41.5, snug fit. 11US in 5.10 camp fours. I'm guessing a 42.5 should be a nice crack shoe? Can't buy them downunder, so can't try them on first. Any ideas about comparing… read more them to the above? Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks Mr PP

I currently wear the Nago in a 43.5 and I'd like these to fit about the same. Would you recommend I stick with the 43.5 or bump it to 43 or 44? (Do they run the same as the Nagos?) THANKS!

How much are these going to stretch out....

How much are these going to stretch out. I currently climb in the Katana's (size 43) and they fit great for single pitches or bouldering but I'm looking for something more comfortable for cracks and multi-pitch. I'm thinking about just going up half a size (43.5), but if they are going to stretch a lot maybe the same size. Any thoughts on the topic?

I am in search of the best outdoor trad shoe. I have looked all around and have found many great edging shoes, and many great crack shoes. What I am looking for is the best of both worlds, and I have heard this is the shoe for me. Is it?

I'm just wondering if there is a tracking number for the shoes I ordered? I had expected them to arrive today. Thanks, Dave

I have some bunion issues, and edging/foot jams in my mythos is causing a shooting nerve pain in my big toes. Would these shoes, being stiffer and thus more supportive, protect my toe from the pain?

Anyone try TC Pro's finger cracks? I want to know how well the toe box slots into thin cracks. I'm having problems with my Miuras because my toes are slightly curled and looking for a shoe that has a flatter toe box. Also, any comments on edging performance would be great. Thank you!

according to Sportiva's website, the TC Pro has the same last as the Kantana's (mens & wms) "LAST: PD 55" Can anyone comment on how they sized relative to Katanas, Miuras, or Mythos?
