Thanks for the heads up, OP! I may finally get the TC Pros since my Miuras aren't as comfortable after 5 or so pitches. If anyone has any questions concerning the fit of La Sportiva shoes, I'd be more than happy to provide some answers considering that I own/owned at least one pair of the following:
Climbing -- Solution, Genius, Miura (lace), Otaki, Theory, Mythos
Hiking/Approach -- Nucleo High II GTX, TX Leather Guide, TX4 Approach, Bushido I & II, Kaptiva

Which pair do you recommend for people with wider feet? I tried on the TC Pro today in a half size up and felt right at home. I'm also a novice climber.

I have wide feet and I wear TC Pros in street shoe size (Soloman's generally.) They do stretch so be careful not to go too lose. Half size up is reasonable though.

If the TC Pros fit well, you may want to try the Finale in the same size. They are less expensive and have the same feel on the wall. My usual climbing partner swears by them for indoor and out, especially on multipitch.
If you have a really wide foot, you may want to check shoes other than La Sportiva. Butora makes a wide version of the Acro which has a similar feel as the La Sportiva Solution. Evolv makes many of their shoes with wider toe boxes. Other suggestions would be Five Ten Anasazi and Scarpa Origin.
