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.

Men’s Momentum Climbing Shoes

Really nice to fit in, good grip, break in easily. Very good for beginning to intermediate climbers. Highly recommended!

Solid Starter Shoe

Picked these up on sale as I started to get tired of renting and they're an immediate upgrade. Fits well, sticky on the wall, aggressive enough for at least the V4s I occasionally bumble through. A little bit tight on wider feet though.

Very good

I was using these shoes at gym and decided to buy a pair. They are very good for gym climbing and a good pair for starters. Buy either a half or a full size above your regular shoe size.

This was a bday gift for me, I normally wear 12.5 US, but keeping in mind that climbing shoes should feel snug, downsized 0.5 and regret now. Build quality seems nice, overall rubber seems to be very sticky. Will now order another pair, but now size 13.5

This is the size that fits well for me. I like the Velcro straps which are stream lined for me and allow me to change quickly
