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.

Bought this shoe a half size up from normal due to wanting a good indoor shoe I could be in for awhile (that being said the shoe still fits pretty snug). The shoes has fit the bill in almost all areas. Even if I had sized smaller I think it would still be relatively comfortable. The shoe fits me similar to Sportivas in terms of form (not actual sizing, I wear 39.5 in Sportiva which is about equivalent to 42 in this). Shoe has a larger heel which I like. It is on the stiffer side and holds an edge well. Toe hooking is good due to all the toe rubber. Solid heel hooks if you have a larger heel. The one thing I don’t like is the rubber. Most of my shoes are soled with either XS Grip or C4. This feels slicker than either of those, not by a crazy amount but it is ... MoreBought this shoe a half size up from normal due to wanting a good indoor shoe I could be in for awhile (that being said the shoe still fits pretty snug).

Most of my shoes are soled with either XS Grip or C4. This feels slicker than either of those, not by a crazy amount but it is noticeable in my opinion. That being said I have friends that have Acros (same rubber) and have said they like the rubber ok. That’s really the only downside to me but that will be taken care of next time I resole.
These are simply good shoes. My feet are Greek with a smaller heel and found that the heel cups in these fit well. I went with my street size. They were cramped initially, especially in the toe box, but after wearing them in 2 hot showers and climbing in them for 3 session, they now fit like socks. The rubber in the sole is as good as other name brands, and the midsoles are soft enough to allow for good sensitivity on slabs and smears.
As someone with a wide toe box, narrow heels, and high arches, it's always been a challenge to find functional and well-fitting shoes. This shoe is definitely the best fitting climbing shoe that I have ever found. If you have a similar type of foot as me, I would surely try them. Breaking in the shoes took much longer than the average shoe because they are made mostly of rubber, but after 3 months, I actually found them to be too big so be patient with the breaking in process and don't buy a bigger size unless they are unbearably painful. The Butora Gomi shoe lasted about 8 months before I wore through the rubber, which is longer than average for me. As a competitive climber who generally wears through climbing shoes in 4-6 months, I was impressed to say the least ... MoreAs someone with a wide toe box, narrow heels, and high arches, it's always been a challenge to find functional and well-fitting shoes.

My only complaint would be that the interior of the shoe melts if worn for an extended period of time and can easily be peeled when heated from feet heat.Overall, a great shoe.
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.

Love my Gomi's. These have been my go-to shoes for few years now. Solid rubber around the top of the toes make toe hooks really stick and sharp rocks less painful. The heel is also totally locked in for me, it is not oversized compared to my skawmas, but still feels very confidence inspiring. They aren't as soft as the skawmas but I wouldn't call them too stiff either so they fall into the 'just-right' category for me. I resoled my 1st pair twice, and then bought em again bc their so good. Rei sales also helped ;)
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.
