At Butora, climbing isn't just our sport—it's our entire focus. Since 2015, we've been committed to one thing: designing and producing climbing shoes that deliver unparalleled performance while maintaining superior comfort. Unlike other brands, we don’t dabble in clothes, ski boots, or general outdoor gear. We specialize in what we know best—climbing-specific footwear.

Our founder, James Nam, and the Butora team set out to solve one of the biggest challenges in the climbing industry: creating shoes that offer both the high performance climbers need and the comfort they want. After years of innovation, we’ve cracked the code. We’re proud to offer a range of climbing shoes and approach footwear that meets the demands of all climbers, from beginners to elite athletes.

Why Choose Butora Climbing Shoes?

• Climbing-Specific Expertise: Climbing shoes are all we do, so every detail, from the fit to the materials, is designed with climbers in mind.
• In-House Manufacturing: By making everything in-house, including our proprietary NEO rubber, we maintain complete control over quality and performance. This also allows us to make quick, iterative improvements that keep our shoes at the forefront of climbing technology.
• Performance & Comfort: We believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort for performance. Our shoes are designed to excel in any environment, from sport climbing to bouldering, while ensuring your feet stay comfortable on every route.
• Feedback-Driven Innovation: We listen to our customers. While we can't implement every suggestion, we prioritize feedback to continually refine and improve our designs.

At Butora, we take pride in serving the climbing community because we're climbers ourselves. Whether you're pushing your limits at the crag or hiking to your favorite bouldering spot, we’ve got your feet covered with climbing footwear that excels in performance, durability, and comfort.
