My go to shoe for hard projects. Rubber is super soft so I only use the Arco comp when I really need to trust my feet as these shoe grip so well. The down side is because the rubber is so soft it can wear down quickly if I use them regularly at my local gym. Shoe fits great for my wide feet and meets my comfort needs. Edging is great and so is smearing, but heal hooking it’s kind loose. The only Butora Climbing shoe that rules in heal hooking is the Narshas, a much stiffer shoe compared to both the regular Arco, and Comp version. That said the Rubber on the Arco Comp is softer as compared regular Arcos. I love the Neo Friction rubber of Butora. I feel the rubber is in all the right places on the Arcos and it’s hard stray away on a well made shoe. Price for performance and durability makes it hard to buy other popular brands. I’m dialed in on my brand of climbing shoe, very happy with Butora and their Arco comp shoe.
