Review: Butora Endeavor Climbing Shoe

As the one-stop shop of rock shoes, the Endeavor is a durable, medium-stiff, medium-flex, sticky-rubber kick that is at home on vertical, slabby, and even slightly overhanging terrain. “If I could only climb in one pair of shoes for the rest of my life; these would be it,” one tester said after a few months of easy bouldering, moderate sport routes, and big multi-pitch days. With the addition of a few thoughtful features, this shoe rises above the dozen other moderate-performance pairs on shelves now.
