Comfort marries aggresive
Acumen305 years ago
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 the box (which is why I chose this shoe over the Solutions). 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.

Couldn't even fit my feet in them.
Splitboard Graham3 years ago
I ordered these in my street shoe size, but I couldn't even get either foot in them. My partner wears two sizes smaller than me (in mens) and they were so short they hurt her toes just trying them on. I usually just get my street shoe size for climbing shoes, but I guess I'll return these and get two or more sizes larger.

First pair of aggressive shoes. These are very comfortable, sized the same as my street shoes. Painful to put them on the first time but wearing them in the shower helped break them in. By the third climb the shoes feel custom moulded to the feet. Now they feel like a pair of snug rubber socks, somehow supportive on small foot chips and still great at smearing and on volumes. Bat hangs and toe hooks feel comfortable, and the heel doesn't budge when hooking. The rubber outsole is quite soft and seems to be holding up. Personal shoe preferences: came over from comfy Evolv Kronos (sized full sized down from street), wide feet with narrow heel, generally find scarpa's heel too baggy, la sport too narrow.

Super Soft Rubber

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.

wide toe box shallow heel greatness
4 months ago
I bought these a couple months ago after being a long-time Scarpa wearer, and man these fit my foot shape really well. I have high arches, wider toe box and a shallow heel. Only my heel on my 1/2 size smaller foot gets dead space, but I sized them to my larger foot so I’m not surprised. I wear sneakers in women’s 10, and 42 fit me best in these, while, for example, my Scarpa helixes are a 40.5. I could have gotten away with gomi’s in 41.5 but wanted a little more comfort. I have never experienced the instant “woah this feels nice!” when trying a new shoe on (Scarpa veloce was the closest before this). Love this shoe!

Out of the box, these shoes were the best shoes I have worn. I need a wide fit and these shoes accommodate. Edging is fantastic, rubber is very sticky and everything from jibs to smears feel great. Break in time is moderate, bit painful at first but they break in like most other shoes. The precision of this shoe is astounding and a real high point. Toe hooks at first were pretty good, but degraded quickly. This is because the toe box rubber is not climbing rubber but rand rubber. It gives the illusion of being a good toe hook shoe, but it isn't. This is my only, yet large grip with the shoe. Overall, great shoe good for overhung and precise climbing but fairly trash on roofs. Certainly a shoe for the quiver, but not your one and only.

Flexible & Smears like a suction cup
5 years ago
Amazing shoes (2 months in) All around solves a lot of issues for me. These are right in the sweet spot of rigged & flexible. These are sensitive without feeling like your foot will shatter if you kick the wall and stiff enough to stand on any crimp. Volumes stick like glue to these shoes and the rubber gives you the confidence to trust your feet which above all was the most exciting thing for me. I’ve not slipped off once after I set my foot where it needed to be, if it’s good - it’ll stay good. Goes with out saying toe hooks are basically aid in these

Best shoes I own for both indoor/outdoor
2 years ago
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.

With the right sizing, fits like a glove!
2 years ago
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.

Great beginner aggressive shoes
2 years ago
Had it for a couple days and these are my first aggressive shoes and although I had to get 1/2 size up and honestly if u want a more snug feel would do a full size bigger. So far, it feels amazing to heel hook and smear, I read that the toe hook wears fast so I'll try to update if it does but so far the toe hooking is better than my more neutral shoes and the underclings have been a godsend with these shoes. But it definitely isn't the most aggressive shoe and I highly recommend if you want to venture into more aggressive style shoes
