Updated version of the stiff edging shoe intended for use on long mountain routes and cracks and much recommended for big wall aid and free climbing due to its high comfort level. The TC stands for the famous American climber Tommy Caldwell who has designed this shoe for long hard free climbs in the Yosemite Valley.
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. The 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. A peculiarity of the model is the high cut of the uppers, designed to protect the ankle when climbing cracks. The extremely extended rubber round edge also provides protection in 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.
