Butora Acro Wide Fit Climbing Shoe

Aggressive precision and comfort come together in the Acro Climbing Shoe

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve gone through a lot of aggressive shoes, and the Acro is one of the few that feels secure and powerful without wrecking my feet. The wide fit is a game-changer for all-day bouldering or sport. It edges like a machine and still feels sticky and sensitive on toe hooks."

When we’re working steep problems or dialing in the redpoint burn, the Butora Acro Climbing Shoe in the wide fit keeps us locked into the wall without sacrificing comfort. This aggressively downturned shoe offers the power we need on overhung terrain, but its design doesn’t punish us for keeping it on between burns.

The triple fork hook-and-loop strap locks in the fit, while the high-tension heel rand provides a secure feel for heel hooks and small ledges. Butora’s proprietary Neo Fuse rubber grips plastic and rock with equal confidence, giving us control and feedback when it matters most. For hard sport routes and technical boulders, the Acro Wide is our weapon of choice.

Shoes are great, Backcountry was not

Ordered these to replace the same shoe. Great shoe. Unfortunately Backcountry sent a pair that had peeling rubber along the seams that I did not notice until I wore them the first time which was about a month after receiving them and thus did not qualify for a return even though I was sent a messed up pair. I should have looked closer as they didn't arrive in the original Butora shoe box, rather a generic Backcounty/competitive cyclist one which I'm assuming meant someone else had already returned them... Attempting to follow up with Butora as Backcountry said they don't handle the warrantees.

Great indoor shoe

Familiarity:: I've put it through the wringer
Size Bought:: 11.5
Height:: 6' 1"
Weight:: 190

Not sure why there aren’t more reviews, I’m on my 4-5th pair and want to add my two cents. The rubber is some of the softest I’ve had in climbing shoes which makes it comfy to wear longer and also helps with smearing and jamming which would otherwise be difficult in downturned shoes. The softness makes them harder to use outside where feet tend to be smaller and I want the pushing power I get with harder rubber. I downsize my outside shoes (Scarpa Boostic), but these shoes are true to my street shoe size of 11.5-12.

Very Useful but Often Painful

Familiarity:: I've used it several times
Size Bought:: 9.0
Height:: 5' 7"
Weight:: 140

I've been meaning to talk to some people about this, and I'm fairly new to the aggressive style climbing shoes, but after trying on several sizes of the Wide fit Butora Acros, I decided to buy a size 9, and I wear an 8.5 street shoe. My previous pair of shoes were La Sportiva Tarantulaces that are size 8.5 and they fit quite comfortably with a little room in them. My Acros fit really snug to my foot which is nice, but even at a half size up, they still squeeze my big toes on both feet quite a bit, and I often find them painful to wear and have to take my heel out after every climb. And if I'm stuck on a lead or top rope route, then I just have to endure the pain until I'm finished. I don't know if I still need to break them in more, or if this is what aggressive shoes are like, but I see people going sizes down from their street shoe and I'm wondering why even at a bigger size my feet are in so much pain.
