The Black Diamond Mens Black Diamond climbing shoe is designed for climbers seeking a perfect balance between comfort and performance. Ideal for both beginners and seasoned climbers, this shoe helps you learn how to climb effectively without compromising on comfort during those long sessions at the gym or on the crag.

With a unique upper made from breathable knit material, the shoe enhances ventilation while ensuring durability. Unlike traditional leather climbing shoes that can become smelly over time, the Momentum's design minimizes odors in your storage areas. It's worth noting that because this shoe is not made from leather or synthetic leather, it won't stretch significantly, so it's advisable to purchase them in your street shoe size rather than sizing down as often suggested by peers.

The shoe also features a molded NeoFriction rubber sole, which contributes to its longevity and provides excellent traction, especially on greasy or plastic footholds.

Features

  • Designed for All-Day Comfort: Built with Engineered Knit Technology, these climbing shoes offer breathable stretch and support, making them ideal for long gym sessions, cragging, or multi-pitch routes.
  • Durable Rubber Outsole: Features a 4.3mm rubber sole for grip and longevity, ensuring consistent performance on both plastic holds and real rock surfaces.
  • Secure & Customizable Fit: Equipped with two hook-and-loop straps that allow for quick on/off access and easy adjustments, providing a snug, secure fit that adapts to your climbing style.
  • Breathable & Lightweight: The engineered upper provides ventilation to keep your feet cooler during climbs while minimizing fatigue without sacrificing durability.

Pros

  • Comfortable for extended wear, perfect for long climbing sessions.
  • Breathable material reduces odor build-up.
  • Molded rubber sole enhances grip and durability.
  • Quick-adjusting straps make it easy to find the right fit.

Cons

  • Does not stretch significantly, so sizing may be tricky if you're used to other climbing shoes.
  • May not provide the same snuggness as leather options for advanced climbers looking for aggressive fits.

Amazing product for the price

One of the lightest harness on the market with a 5th gear loop but almost half the cost of arc'teryx AR-395a (comparable). Black diamond build quality is great. I thought the size is a bit big. Got a large and I have a 35" waist. At that size it's not completely tight when the straps are pulled tight but still secure.

Great shoes!

I ordered these for myself, and they’re so much better than my last climbing shoes which were so tight that I was only able to climb for about 20 mins before I was in excruciating pain. I wear a size 11 in women’s for reference and I got these in a men’s size 10 and they’re great! A little bit of space in the heel when I’ve got my weight on my toes, but I’ve not had my issues with them and they’re very comfortable to climb in!

Overall a good shoe

Great shoes with big advantage over rental shoes. I ordered my normal size and were very tight in the beginning but loosened up after a couple of weeks. They're still tight but not uncomfortable and feel like I have ample control when climbing. Since I don't wear socks it would be nice if the tongue had some padding or softer fabric since the material is pretty rough. Not a major issue but would be a nice to have.

Great synthetic/vegan indoor/outdoor shoe

These are great! Synthetic/Vegan. Don’t waste your time with aggressive shoes unless you’re climbing V9. I climb V4/5 bouldering and these haven’t skipped a beat. I’m replacing my old pair because I climbed a hole through the toe after 10 months use in a gym about 2.5 days/week. Great for outdoor use too!

Great climbing shoes!

Love these! First off, I know these are men’s but I’m a woman and these fit fine. I also want to mention about this seller that phew! They are patient! I had to return them two times to get a bigger size. Thanks for being patient! The last ones fitted perfectly. They have two Velcro straps that secure your feet without being overwhelming. There are two loops in the back that allow you to put them on with ease and secure them to a line without much movement. Worth the purchase!

Disappointed in this harness for Alpine use

I bought this harness for Alpine use on Rock and Ice. BD stated on the product description "Limestone sport routes, granite big walls, steep ice and alpine faces—for those who climb it all, all year long". The gear loops look large and stable in the picture. They are quite stable, but they are tiny. You can barley rack anything on this harness, let alone an alpine rack. The Ice Clippers from BD that first this harness are way to small, and the front two are way to far forward. Placing ice screws in this position is a great way to stab yourself in the top of your leg.From the pictures, I had assumed this was the harness I was dreaming of. I tore open the package without care, now I can't return. Total waste of money. I have relegated it to being my gym harness, but it sucks at even that.I love most all of my BD gear. This is just an utter disappointment.

Awesome. Sad they left the knit upper in the most recent update

BD is great at making something amazing and then ruining it a year later. Prime example. Get this version while they are still available...
