The Butora Narsha kills it in the edging game and easily earned the best edging score of the test category. The stiff 4 mm thick Neo Force rubber combined with a full, rigid, injection molded midsole, and precise fit allows confidently loading micro edges, especially on slightly overhanging sport routes and boulders. View more

I found the Acro to have a welcome combination of front-pointing exactness and comfort... the shoes felt just as solid when smearing against opposing tufa features thanks in part to their ample flex and sensitivity. View more

... built like tanks and $35 less expensive than TC Pros. If you don't mind suffering through the long break in period, you'll be rewarded with a very durable shoe that resoles well... We'll keep climbing in the Alturas, since the more they break in and the better they feel, becoming more precise over time as they soften up. View more

The flexible mid sole allowed for great smearing, while the stiff rubber around the toe, and the slightly down-turned design still made for a great edging shoe. I thought the extra rubber over the toe box was also great for toe hooking. View more

Because of their downturned shape, I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to edge on vertical face. But edge they did—I could do hand-foot matches on fingernail edges, without the sole popping off. View more

As the weather conditions worsened, we spent a fair bit of climbing on Tonsai Roof which stayed mostly dry. Here is where the Shadows really come out into the light... View more

The Supra is a quality work-horse sport-climbing shoe. The shape of the shoe focuses support towards the front of the inside edge, which makes the Supra feel precise when working with the front of your toes, like you would with pockets or edges of a certain shape and orientation. View more

The lack of an edge allows you to be much less precise with your feet and get away with it but prevents precision foot placement on edges. View more

They smear well and are still stiff, they heel hook and toe hook and fit like a glove plus they are very adept at sticking like a limpet to the tiniest of foot holds. Even on stupidly steep stuff. They have lasted six months or more whereas I usually blow through a more expensive shoes in three or four months. So yes, I love them. It's Voodoo weirdness. View more
