Great climbing shoes
I just started climbing and was finding to to become difficult to climb with the shoes provided at my climbing gym. I decided to invest in a pair of climbing shoes. My friend has the Momentum Climbing Shoes and let me try hers on. I feel that they work very well for my beginning climbing skills and are a reasonable price. My climbing ability has greatly increased since getting these shoes, and I highly recommend! Originally reviewed on ExpertVoice.com

Beginner Climber
Great shoes! The quality is fantastic so much better than the rentals. It’s a nice shoe to ease into more professional aggressive climbing shoes in terms the tightness the shoe has and how it molds to your feet Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
The wife likes them.
My wife likes the style and feel of them. She wears a 6.5 street shoe but had to size up to 7. Keep in mind that she’s new to climbing, an experienced climber would probably wear true to size. My momentums are the same size as my street shoes. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
Review
This is my first pair of shoes I’ve ever bought. Ordered an 8.5 and my street shoes size is 8.5/9. When they showed up I freaked out because I could barely stand in them without major discomfort (obviously there will be some discomfort to start) I am happy to say that I think they are molding to my feet quickly while wearing them a couple times in my room and as soon as rock walls open back up I can’t wait to go test them out!!

I’m very happy with the look and feel of these. Sizing was accurate, too! Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
Great fit!
Perfect entry level shoe. I wear a size 9 in running shoes and the 9 fits like a glove but not too tight. Just right for getting started and developing my foot skills. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com

Solid shoe
Solid, durable shoe. Able to use tiny toe holds easily. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
Wonderful show to start with
Definitely a less aggressive shoe, but fantastic for those just getting into climbing. I can wear the shoes for extended periods of time without my feet hurting. Originally reviewed on ExpertVoice.com
Very comfortable
These climbing shoes are both comfortable and durable. I have only used mine for indoor climbing, but find them to be comfortable no matter how long I climb that day! Originally reviewed on ExpertVoice.com

Rookie Climber- But these shoes help
I love these shoes! These are my first pair of climbers shoes, i wasn’t aware that they have to fit pretty tight, but the more i wear them the more comfortable they get. i have a really hard time with trusting my body, which is why i started climbing to help me let go, and while me and my body still have a bit to go i trust the grip on these shoes to keep me up. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
Great shoes
New to climbing so I wanted something that wouldn’t break the budget but would give me what I needed and these shoes definitely do the job. They have been great! Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com

wonderful shoes!
I love these! Fit wonderfully, and have me climbing a lot better. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
Perfect!
As a first-time rock climber, these were a perfect start and reasonably priced. Comfortable enough and stylish while still being able to have a good grip while climbing. I would 100% repurchase! Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
great for newbies
there really great they work well I'm very new to climbing so I'm getting used to how they feel if you're new like me it's a good idea to size up Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
Comfortable and
I’m a new climber but these shoes have been great for my foray into indoor bouldering! Super comfortable, streamlined design and quick on/off.
Tight fit
I got my usual shoe size, but the shoe is so tight on my feet that it hurts so much. I’m trying to stretch them out by using them as much as I can. Hopefully it works out. The style of the shoe is nice though. I wish they had a bigger size, but it’s sold out. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
Perfect beginner shoe
The shoes are perfect for beginners. As one myself it has been really nice not having to rent and these shoes work better then rentals. They were a little slippery and pinched my heel to start, but once I broke them in they're perfect. Size runs big. Normally I am a 9 but I bought these in a 10 and they fit perfect. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
I'm sure they're great- but my wife can't get them on.
The spousal unit wears a size 9 running shoe (nike), but could barely get her foot into the 10.5 women's momentum shoe and (although she's tough) couldn't keep them on for more than couple of minutes. In hindsight- I'd get her the men's (which is wider through the mid-foot and 1/2 size larger). Originally reviewed on ExpertVoice.com
These shoes are great! Great
These shoes are great! Great for beginners like myself. They are a bit big, so I probably should have gone down half a size. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
Excellent entry level shoe
I like them for deep water soloing as they dry out quick. I was skeptical how durable they would be when I first bought them but my first pair went the long haul and I've had them for almost two years. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
Runs big but great quality shoe
I expected these to run small after seeing reviews. I got a size 7.5 (I usually wear a 39.5 in la sportivas & 7.5 in street). They were pretty big. I am going to wear them anyways, but I had blisters all over my toes and heels after a 2 hr session because they were sliding and rubbing from the extra space. Otherwise, great price, good flexibility in the sole, and fantastic grip for holds. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
If the shoe fits...
It's about time BDE acknowledges the issues it has with its size chart and fixes it. That being said, if you find the right size for you, they're great! Very comfortable for beginners like me. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com

The shoe fits great. I was afraid it would be a little small, but the shoe fits great and matches the rest of my gear Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com

Pretty good shoe, not quite as aggressive as I wanted. Originally reviewed on ExpertVoice.com
Good beginner shoe
Decent all-around shoe. Comfy fit. Size up about a full size from other climbing shoes. Originally reviewed on ExpertVoice.com
Beginner Friendly
I’m newer to climbing and these shoes are great! These shoes fit great, work very well, and are comfortable enough to last all day in them. Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
Tight around the toes
I got my normal shoe size, but the shoes are a bit tight for those with wider feet Originally reviewed on blackdiamondequipment.com
Great Shoe for Beginners
These were my first pair of climbing shoes. They are not fancy, but held up great. Fairly comfortable as far as climbing shoes go too. Originally reviewed on ExpertVoice.com
Nice but runs small
I wish I would have ordered a bigger size. I ordered the same size I generally buy other athletic shoes in (a half size bigger than casual shoes) and they are too small. Trying to decide whether to order a bigger size or just tough it out with the size I have. I am new to climbing and did read that shoes should fit snug but these may be too snug for my comfort. Originally reviewed on ExpertVoice.com
Great shoe. Not for me.
Unfortunately, this fit is not for me. I am a size 6, but the heel is much larger than my heel so it makes it a tight fit for my toes. I can’t wear a size 6 1/2 because the heel is much larger therefore creating an even bigger gap there, but my toes are okay. I got the size 6 and hoped it would feel better after I broke it in. But no. I am new to climbing and these had the best specs and reviews for what I am seeking so maybe I just have a smaller heel than most people. I’m bummed. I love the style of the shoe.
