The Butora Acros are sold in a narrow fit and in a wider fit instead of having a men’s and women’s versions of the shoe.

Our recommendation for the Best Climbing shoes for wide feet
The Scarpa Vapor V is our recommendation for climbers with wider feet. The shoe is a really comfortable for everyone, but a real find for wider feet. The Vapor V works great for both sport and bouldering, as well as for trad climbing. The toe box is thin from top to bottom and wide from side to side and therefore works really well on narrow cracks. A bigger size might be a good idea for climbing longer routes though.
