Review on Black Diamond Equipment Momentum Climbing Outdoor Recreation by Ruben Saunders

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not just for beginners!

I started out with this shoe as a beginner and just wanted something cheap so I wouldn't have to rent. Then about a year later I started wearing them and switched to intermediates, so I figured a more expensive pair would work better as my next climbing shoe. No! I had a couple of steeps that were meant for intermediate climbers and kept slipping off the wall. It was so frustrating that I returned them and received a second pair of Momentum and I'm so happy I did. I finally understand why they work so well. This is because I use the edging technique A LOT and not many other shoes are made like the Black Diamond shoes that I have been able to find. the ribs of your legs, so useful for small holds and for techniques that require you to get close to the wall. Shoes, as everyone says. If you value comfort but also want a shoe to hone your skills in, then this is the shoe for you. Note: I wear sneakers in sizes 8 to 8.5, which is USW 9.5 or USM 8.5 (see photo). .
