Comfortable performance from day one with the Momentum Climbing Shoe
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I recommend the Momentum to anyone just getting into climbing or looking for an all-day comfortable shoe. It’s breathable, easy to get on and off, and solid for gym sessions and mellow outdoor routes. I’ve worn mine on everything from plastic to granite slabs."
We remember our first pair of climbing shoes—and we're glad the Black Diamond Momentum exists for those stepping onto the wall for the first time. With its flat last, soft flex, and breathable knit upper, this shoe delivers out-of-the-box comfort for long sessions and multi-hour belay hangs.
The hook-and-loop closure makes for quick adjustments, while the NeoFriction rubber gives just the right amount of stick for everything from gym footholds to outdoor smearing. Whether we’re bouldering indoors, top-roping outside, or just getting into the sport, the Momentum gives us the comfort and control we need to progress.

Here's what customers have to say
The climbing shoes are a comfortable and breathable option, well-suited for beginner and intermediate users. They provide good edging and slab performance, but may not be durable enough for advanced outdoor climbing. Sizing can be inconsistent. Overall, the shoes are a solid all-around choice, especially for those new to the sport or seeking a comfortable gym shoe.

Great beginner shoes
As a beginner rock climber myself I don’t have a lot of experience to make a great review but from what I can tell these shoes are awesome, compared to the rental shoes at my gym these are so much sturdier and grippier, I am not afraid of recommending these to a friend trying to get into the sport.

A solid shoe
This is a great shoe for a rock gym. It is reasonably priced and works for intermediate climbers like me, as well as friends of mine who are doing harder climbs. It’s not as sensitive underfoot as I’m used too but it fits well, even with my wide toes.

Comfiest Shoes I’ve tried
Very comfortable beginner shoes, the toe box is wide enough for my feet without being too cramped- overall 10/10

Exactly as described
I ordered my street shoe size (vans slip-on 11. 5 is perfect), out of the box they were a little tight in the toes and there was dead space in the heel, but once I climbed a few routes in the gym they started to shape up better. They are definitely more sensitive than other beginner shoes I have tried which I like

Great all-around/entry shoe
Great shoe if you’ve been away from climbing for a few years and trying to get back in it with a solid shoe that will cover the edging with enough feeling, while allowing flexibility for smearing .

Perfect for light loads and easy days
I only get to go to the climbing gym 1-2x a week, so I had gotten these to finally get some of my own. I didn't want to keep using the gym rentals, this have worked greatly so far and I intent to use them for as long as possible!

Good shoes good price
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 12.5
I took the advice of sizing up others recommended, I am a11.5 and purchased a 12.5 and they fit snug. They are fairly comfortable for an hour long indoor climbing session. And they gip holds good enough for my skill level. Glad I made the purchase
