Why We Like The Momentum Climbing Shoe
Black Diamond’s Momentum Climbing Shoe balances comfort with performance to help us learn how to climb comfortably. Black Diamond made this shoe’s upper out of a unique knit that boosts breathability without compromising durability. This enhanced breathability also cuts the stench that standard leather climbing shoes excrete in your car, closet, or wherever you store your climbing shoes.
Since this isn’t a leather or synthetic leather climbing shoe, the Momentum won't stretch as much as usual climbing shoes, so we recommend getting this pair in your street shoe size even though your friends are telling you to size down. The NeoFriction rubber sole is also unique in that it’s molded—as opposed to the usual cutting from one sheet of rubber—to the shoe in order to increase longevity and ensure traction on greasy, plastic footholds.

Exactly as described
I ordered my street shoe size (vans slip-on 11. 5 is perfect), out of the box they were a little tight in the toes and there was dead space in the heel, but once I climbed a few routes in the gym they started to shape up better. They are definitely more sensitive than other beginner shoes I have tried which I like

Great all-around/entry shoe
Great shoe if you’ve been away from climbing for a few years and trying to get back in it with a solid shoe that will cover the edging with enough feeling, while allowing flexibility for smearing .

Perfect for light loads and easy days
I only get to go to the climbing gym 1-2x a week, so I had gotten these to finally get some of my own. I didn't want to keep using the gym rentals, this have worked greatly so far and I intent to use them for as long as possible!

Good shoes good price
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 12.5
I took the advice of sizing up others recommended, I am a11.5 and purchased a 12.5 and they fit snug. They are fairly comfortable for an hour long indoor climbing session. And they gip holds good enough for my skill level. Glad I made the purchase

Awesome show!
I got these for my friend who has Size 11 feet in the wide side. After reading lots of reviews, we decided to size up and ultimately the size 13 fit him perfectly.

Runs small but works great
I have US men 8. 5 Yonex tennis shoe that fit well. I got 8. 5 of this shoe and it was too small, so I had to get 9. Otherwise the shoe is great.
