Butora Sierra

Butora

The Butora Sierra is an intermediate lace-up climbing shoe with precise edging capability and a medium-stiff feel. The full-sole ABS injection-molded midsole provides enhanced stability on small holds, while heel-to-forefoot tensioning delivers power and precision. Microsuede upper resists stretching for consistent fit over time.
