Review on Black Diamond Focus Climbing Shoes by Mark Bearden

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Do not recommend

I think BD didn't have enough iterations on this shoe. All measurements are wrong. I bought the snuggest possible fit and was left with an odd situation. My toe hurts and the rest of my toes float in the boot giving it an odd filling when I try to get up. It's very tight for my toe but again there is so much room in the heel that it can just hold any position without the rubber flexing with all that clearance. and I bought 2 sizes smaller than my usual shoe size. In summary, the shoes are undercooked. And it just doesn't feel right.

Pros
  • 4.3mm thick rubber specially made for edges and molded for consistency and performance
Cons
  • unreliable
