Engineered for precision, the Black Diamond Technician Leather is built for durability and comfort, with super sticky rubber for technical approaches. Featuring a premium suede leather upper that’s lined for fit and comfort, the Technician Leather is ultra-durable with strategically placed, welded TPU overlays for abuse on the rocks. The lightweight wrap-style tongue allows for easy on and off at the crag, and a graduated lace system goes all the way to the toe for a lockdown fit. The Technician Leather’s tuned EVA midsole consists of a strategic stiffness-to-comfort ratio, allowing for high-performance precision where you need it, and comfort in just the right spots. The last is ideal for technical climbing, as the name implies, and the shoe’s BlackLabel-Mountain rubber provides super sticky, ultimate grip on terrain that demands precise edging and smearing you can trust your life to. Finally, the Technician Leather’s multiple webbing loops offer various tagging and stowing options for when the approach ends and the hard climbing begins.

Great for Approaching Crags
These shoes are really nice. Great cushion and grip for approaching crags and scrambling. Definitely better than just any hiking shoe. Compared to other Black Diamond shoes (like the sessions) size a half size up because they are a little tighter in the toe box. Which is good so you don’t stub your toes! Also, they aren’t too bulky like some other approach shoes may get, and are pretty comparable to Scarpa boulder approach shoes if you don’t like the Scarpa brand.

wish I could give less than one star
Super disappointed in these shoes. Not only do they run super small, the overall shape is incredibly uncomfortable. They also started to fall apart after one wear, so I was unable to return them at my local store. Pretty bummed definitely would not recommend or buy black diamond approach shoes in the future....

Unfortunately runs small
I purchased these shoes because I love the design and have worn another pair of approach shoes in the past and they were so comfortable from the moment I put them on. Unfortunately, they run small! I wish you offered these in a bigger size than a woman’s 11. I will be returning these when I visit Utah in February.

Love them
Awesome shoes, they stick to everything and are comfy for longer distances. The only negative is that the sizing is a bit off- all my shoes & boots are 7.5 and I had to buy these in a size 9 to get the same fit. Otherwise now that sizing is dialed I’d definitely buy another pair.

Pretty swaggy
These are comfy and awesome! They definitely make rocky approaches with a bunch of gear way more bearable. I just bought my street shoe size and they're perfect!

I wanted to love these
I read the other reviews that said these run small and purposely bought a half size larger than my usual shoe size. Still no dice. I typically wear an 8-8.5 in all shoes. I got a 9 in these and my toes were jammed in the toe box. I’m not sure a 9.5 would’ve cut it. The style is great, but after the cost of shipping to have them delivered and then the cost of shipping to ship them back, I’m not willing to chance the cost of shipping a third time.

The best approach shoes I've ever had!
From the first day they were super comfortable, they did not hurt me at all. The sole has a very good grip and they are not very hard or heavy shoes for hiking. I love them!

Good looking design, but too narrow for me
I thought I would try a pair of BD approach shoes, but these were too narrow. I, unfortunately, had to return them. I have a wide fore-foot and generally wear La Sportiva TX 3s and 4s. I wanted to like these for the low-key design, but they are too narrow.
