Rental Shoes for
Climbing Gyms
Climbing Gyms
Over the last few years, Butora’s team has been traveling around the country asking climbing gym owners what they wanted. Over and over, we heard, “We want a comfortable, high-performance rental shoe, that lasts a long time.”
Many of our competitors resort to using lower cost and lower quality rubber on their rental shoes, and while this can provide increased durability, it greatly decreases stickiness, performance, and comfort (what new climbers care about most).
At Butora, we think it’s critical that visitors to your gym become long-term members, and a great way to increase the likeliness of membership, is by providing a stellar experience.
One of the first things a new climber experiences in a climbing gym is being handed a pair of rental shoes. We feel strongly that the performance and comfort of those shoes are critical to the first-time climber’s experience.
Continuing Butora’s tradition in crafting the most comfortable, high-performing rental shoes on the market, the Habara Markless now includes a redesigned 5mm outsole for increased durability. Habara Markless rubber has been newly formulated to maintain sensitivity and performance while greatly increasing lifespan and setting the industry standard for rental shoes. Back by popular demand, the Habara Markless returns with a 100% Organic Hemp lining. Hemp is naturally antimicrobial and greatly reduces odor. Some of the features found on the Habara Markless include:
Featuring the same durable, markless rubber as our flagship Habara Markless adult shoe, the Brava Markless is a great choice for youth climbers, and the colorway pairs well with our Habara Markless adult shoe.
The sister shoe to the Habara Markless, the Habara Knit provides an ultra breathable, traditional soled rental option to the Butora lineup.Excellent for use in climbing gyms, as well as in outdoor rental use, the Habara Knit brings extreme breathability, comfort and performance to the rental shoe world.
The Sparrow is a markless youth shoe that aesthetically matches our Enoki adult climbing shoe. It features the same durable markless rubber as the rest of our markless rental line.
The Enoki is a durable, comfortable, well made, high value rental shoe offering for those looking for a lower cost alternative to the Habara Markless. The upper is very breathable, allowing for decreased odor and sweat.
