First off, get the size of your street shoe! I where a 9.5 in nikes, I got a 9.5 in these. They are very tight but once broken in they are very good. If you do not like very tight and tow curling tightness, go with a half to full size up. Second, the quality of the shoe. Not the rubber but the fabric, it ripped about three days into wearing them. I have no idea why, Im buying another pair and if this happens again, then I will not be buying this shoe again. FINALLY

These are by far my favorite pair of climbing shoes, and my go-to both indoor and outdoor. They are incredibly comfortable if you have a wide toe box. Other aggressive shoes are pretty painful for me, but these are perfect. And the rubber is super sticky. I wear a women's 8 street shoe, and got an 8 in these (equivalent to 9 in women's and 41 eu). Obviously you have to break them in a bit to start, but they stretch nicely over time. I will continue to repurchase these shoes until they're discontinued. They're that good.

First let me state that I live in FL and all I have to consistently climb is at a indoor climbing facility, so this will not give the most accurate use of this shoe outdoors. That aside, as a person with a 4E wide foot finding a good aggressive climbing shoe that is wide enough and that will allow me to climb without cramping my arch when aggressively toeing mid climb the Butora shoe was a God send. I tried the Gomi at a Butora demo at my climbing gym, after climbing in the Acro (wide fit) for the last year and a half, as soon as slipped them on I thought my feet died and went to heaven.The Gomi was the most comfortable wide fit aggressive shoe I have ever tried on hands down!While I love my Acro's for their wide box, sensitivity, and sticky rubber right out of ... MoreFirst let me state that I live in FL and all I have to consistently climb is at a indoor climbing facility, so this will not give the most accurate use of this shoe outdoors.

The one issue I had with them straight from the beginning was the pocketed gap/space in the heel and have struggled with heel hooking ever since, I never felt the sensitive precision one needs when grabbing a good heel, plus my heel tended to get stuck in pocketed heel grabs. Lets just say they fixed that in the Gomi and then added the bonus of the soft rubber feel, it felt like I put on a pair of slippers. I always had to pull the heels off of the Acro's to allow my toes to have a reprieve because the rubber was much firmer and the rand forced the toes so aggressively toward the big toe, which makes for fantastic precision toeing which is another bit I love about the Acro's. But the Gomi felt like I could wear them for hours and never need to take the shoes off. I can only imagine it would make for an excellent muti-pitch shoe just for that reason alone. Mind the rand didn't feel like it pushed as aggressively toward the toe, but the firm last and the soft rubber made up for that.As for sizing depending on how much discomfort you are comfortable with, I would recommend for those with wide feet a half size to full size above your street shoe true size, ie..I wear an 8.5 US street, I would try a 9 - 9.5 US. I was only able to try the 9.5 at the demo because that is all they had, but could see possibly getting a 9 for a tighter feel, but will only know for sure after ordering that size. Over all I cannot recommend this shoe for my duck footed friends enough, it has everything the Acro has going for it, with a softer feel. This will be my go to shoe from here on out.

Great for folks with a wide foot. I sized up a 1/2 size from my street shoe and my toes were extremely cramped. Returned those and got a full size up from street and they fit perfectly now. Cannot comment on longevity, but the fit and finish is quite nice. I used to climb in Scarpa Instincts and these seem to be more forgiving with the fit due to a perceived increase in flexibility (not as stiff) but I don't have the Scarpas anymore to do a side-by-side comparison. Bonus that they are cheaper than the Scarpas too.
My feet are narrow and slightly different sizes — women’s 8.5 and 8 street shoe size — so it’s hard to find a shoe that works. I got these in women’s size 9 (41 EU) and they fit my feet so well after breaking in. The only downside is that the heel feels a bit insecure for heel hooking.I’m happily climbing V4-V6 in them. They’re more sensitive than my previous shoe Scarpa Vapor V but less sensitive than other shoes I’ve tried on like La Sportiva Theory. I’ve mainly used them indoors and they’ve been great for all styles (slab, overhanging, edging, etc). I did ~15 days outdoor climbing in them and that no issues there either. I like it better than the Vapor in all ways except heel hooking.For longevity, I’ve been using them for an average of 3 times a week for a ... MoreMy feet are narrow and slightly different sizes — women’s 8.5 and 8 street shoe size — so it’s hard to find a shoe that works.

The right toe is wearing out a bit but hasn’t developed a hole yet.
I just got these a week ago and have only climbed in them twice. I already feel like they are breaking in quite well. I usually wear a size 12 in Vans and got a 12.5 in the Gomis. Probably could have gone for a 12 but my left foot is bigger and wider than my right foot and I am all about comfort these days.The insides of these shoes are VERY nice. No weird pokey seams at all, super smooth. The rubber is super soft and sticky which is why I think they are more gym shoes. Might get thrashed outside pretty quick.I would say they are somewhere between moderate and aggressive and, so far, feel amazing on slightly overhung to cave style routes.Heel hooks feel super solid. I am not much of a toe hanger so I don't have much input on that. Smearing and small chips and ... MoreI just got these a week ago and have only climbed in them twice.

I joke that these are my cinderella climbing shoes because as soon as I tried them on I knew they were the ones. I tried on every climbing shoe in my size (36/US 6) and these were by far the best. They are an upgrade from my pair of Scarpa Helix and I really like the more aggressive fit. I take them off in between climbs and when belaying to avoid my toes getting super squished. They are great for people with lower tops of their feet but still need something with an arch. I felt like they broke in fairly quickly and are great for smearing, toe and heel hooking. No signs of wear that are too concerning considering that I climb in them 5+ days a week.
These are my first more moderate/aggressive shoe for bouldering. My street size is US 9W or EU 40/40.5W but although they recommended women go a full size down from their street size, I ended up getting these in 9.5W (though perhaps a 9 would work after breaking in, but I wasn’t certain with so much rubber). That said, the site recommends men order their street size and my boyfriend wears 9/9.5M but he can’t even get the shoe further than the ball of his foot past the velcro — even though I had broken them in for two climbing sessions. I’ll say that these are a little better for bouldering because standing/belaying is not comfortable im these for more than 10 minutes. That said, they did barely loosen up so far so they are a little more comfortable than initially. ... MoreThese are my first more moderate/aggressive shoe for bouldering.

That said, they did barely loosen up so far so they are a little more comfortable than initially. Still, I would recommend these shoes to others with asymmetrical and low volume feet but only after sizing them in person.
These shoes were really tight when I first got them. I wear a size 12 in street shoes and had to go up to a size 13 in these shoes just to feel somewhat comfortable. They are pretty good shoes. My only complaint is that they are so soft it makes standing on small footholds pretty tough. Also, they began fraying really quick. I've had to take my lighter to pieces of thread that began unraveling in various locations. After wearing them for a couple weeks, they are really comfortable though, and they are quite good for heel hooks (I trust this heel when its in) and slab climbing. In closing, there are better shoes out there. They would not be my go to shoe. Hope this is helpful.
Like most reviewers, I would recommend sizing up .5 - 1 size up compared to your street size. I wear a .5 size higher for a tight, glove-like fit. There’s zero empty space. For projecting, I would definitely go with La Sportiva or Scarpa but these are a great all around shoe that won’t break the bank. Edging is solid, but feels better on volumes. After a month of 3x week indoor use, the quality feels durable, but I’ll update the review accordingly.
