BUTORA Unisex Acro Rock/Indoor Climbing Shoes

These are great for climbing, grips very well. Not the most comfortable due to its aggressive design but I highly recommend it.

I just got my Butoras size 10.5 tonight & they fit similar to my Evolv Rastas Shamans size 10.5. I'm happy as I don't have to return them for another size!!! As for the shoe they feel good and most likely fit better in time. I can't wait to try them out at my local gym TRG. I'll update my review later. But if your looking to buy I can only comment and compare theses Butoras to my Evolv Rastas.Update 2-21-17 so far these shoes are comparable to my Evolvs as far as performance but are not as wide as the Evolvs so they feel a little tight, I'll keep wearing them to break them in more.Its 2022 and these are still my go to climbing shoes, very comfortable and helped me send my first 5.12c and 5.12d last year during comp. Its really hard to stray away from these shoes as I have wide feet and fit me great! The rubber is awesome, and the straps are adjustable so when I know Im going to be doing a serious heal hook, I can adjust the angle of the strap so my heal doesnt slip out. I like the classic style and the contrast of orange and black and the durability is amazing, its a very well made shoe. During covid Ive only burned through one pair in 2 years, but when life was normal I could burn 2 in a year. I really should resole because the price has gone up as Im writing this review. 2022 climbing league is about to start so Im hoping I can move into the realm of 5.13a this year with these shoes. To me thats like going from Super saiyan to Super Saiyan God, I trust these shoes so much! Im already looking for another pair before 2023 to have them ready.

I wasn't sure what size to get, reviews mentioned to order street shoe size, but I'm like, "What brand of shoe? I wear 8.5 in Nikes, 9 in Timberlands and 8 in dress shoes." I went ahead and ordered them in size 8.5 US. They were extremely painful! I contacted backcountry to try and replace them for 9.5 US but they didn't have any in stock, so I went with size 9 US in hopes they'd stretch a bit and they did. They are perfect now! Thanks to the staff at backcountry, I got the new pair in 2 business days.They were pretty tight but not overly painful like the first pair. I had to take them off after every climb, during my first session with them, it was hard to smear and I'd even slip off good holds. After a few sessions, I was able to climb normally, smearing and all. I can wear them for most of my session without taking them off but there is some chafing with my right heel, if I wear them for far too long.Overall the quality is great! Lots of rubber on the toe and heel. Looks cool and can be pretty comfortable.P.S.I ordered these because everyone else has solutions haha I thought I'd be the cool kid since I haven't seen these at my gym. Two weeks later someone else has them now...Anyway if you have any questions, feel free to ask away!

These shoes are the only shoes I've purchased again and again. High quality, sticky, and comfortable, especially for my wider than normal feet.Shipped quickly and well packaged without excessive waste.

Phenomenal shoe if it fits your foot. I've got all kinds of foot issues (bunions, mortons toe, arthritis) and these are the only aggressive shoes I've found that let me really put down power where I want it. They're also VERY VERY well made, at least the equal of La Sportiva, which is already a huge step up from Five Ten, Evolv, etc. The build quality is good enough that it's immediately noticeable when you take 'em out of the box. They don't stretch and run true to size, so buy them in your street shoe size.No shoe is entirely perfect. The heel is a bit too high-volume for me and a bit sloppy feeling at times but hasn't ever come off. The rubber isn't as good as the best from Five Ten, but it's not awful and the shape of the shoe is still holding up so I've had C4 on them most of their life. They're not particularly sensitive, but the trade off is a shoe that's stiff enough to be comfy on nasty edges and perform well even if it's not crushingly tight.Bottom line: hands-down the best shoe I've used for hard sport/bouldering.

I think these shoes are fantastic. I wear size 9 street shoes and ordered 9's in these. These are my first pair of downturned shoes, and it took me a few trips to the gym to get used to the fit, and to how the shoes distribute your weight. I think the shoes broke in a bit, and now they are a a very close, comfortable fit. Actually the way the shoe wraps around my feet gives me confidence. The shoes are very good on small footholds - they are a big performance improvement over my prior 'non-aggressive' shoes. I still wear other shoes to warm up, or to do easy climbs, but now I would never try a hard climb without these. The rubber on the shoe is very solid. The shoes have definitely improved my climbing. When I see other shoes in this range at demos, I pick them up, give them a look, and don't even want to try them.

These shoes are amazing.From a performance point of view, these are great. Espcially for overhangs and bouldering. For routes that require edging on small holds I still prefer my Miuras.Their huge benefit though, is that they are one of the only shoes In the market that offer a narrow fit. I am sized 42 with running shoes and with La Sportiva Solution I used to go down to size 38, which is insanely painful. With these however, I can go with 41.5. La Sportiva shoes, while great, fit better for wider feet (even their women models).

Great shoe. Buy it true to size. DO NOT buy down. it is meant to fit tight and they're sized right on. The US sizes have bigger margins than EU. which make buying this online a bit trickier. If a 10.5 is tight and you can comfortably wear an 11... you might need to deal with trying the 10.5 and sending it back. BUT DEFINITELY do not go down. I wore my first pair (i'm on my second pair) for over a year with zero stretch. if anything i think it shrank slightly b/c of sweat. I gifted my first pair (which were too small) to a friend with smaller feet, and LOVE the grip and feel of these so much i came back for a better size.
