GUIDE GEAR REVIEW – SPORTIVA TC PRO

They fit perfectly. And they were climbing beautifully! My feet felt secure on both sloping pegmatite smears and granite edges; solid while jammed into hundred-foot-long hand and finger cracks; and my ankles were well-protected in the squeeze chimney sections, thanks to the high-top design of the uppers. These were the perfect shoe for this kind of climbing, and indeed, they were designed for it. By the time we reached the rim, I was a total convert. Like all La Sportiva footwear I’ve worn, I expect these to last a long, long time, and be with me up many more long, long climbs.
