Black Diamond's Prime Approach Shoe fits right into our active lifestyle. The premium suede upper moves seamlessly from work to the climbing gym. The grippy rubber endures city streets and gnarly approaches and still performs well on our warmup problems with the help of the climbing-shoe inspired toe shape.

Great approach shoes!
Took these out immediately in Little Cottonwood Canyon on some slabby approaches and had no issues. Also love the rad colors!

RUNS SMALL!

I read that the shoe runs small, so ordered a 9.5 instead of my usual 9...but it was extremely small! Seemed more like an 8! Am going to return.

too narrow
Super uncomfortable, there is no room for the pinky and the foot overflows the shoe over the arc side. And, no... I am not a big heavy person, just boring average 59kg wearing a size 39Eu. The last thing I want when I am wearing regular shoe is to feel like I never removed the climbing shoe. The prime fails on that.

Great approach shoes
First off, these shoes are awesome. They have great grip and are pretty thick, so they can keep your feet warm in colder months. Plus, they look great walking around town or hanging out in the gym. Only reason to give 4 out of 5 stars is because the white suede stains easily — the color is a weird choice for an approach shoe that will definitely go through mud at some point.

Great fit
Like the fit a lot - very comfortable and feels true to size. Haven’t had a chance to test them outside yet but high hopes!

Comfortable, functional, and look great

I don't write a lot of reviews but these shoes warrant one. I was looking for something low-profile and casual but with good sticky rubber. I don't do a ton of gnarly approaches that require ankle support or a lot of protection. These took no breaking in and were comfortable from day 1. Secure on boulders, scrambles, and even on gravel-y downhill trails. I've gotten tons of compliments on them, they're functional but also look good--they kinda look like skate shoes which is more my speed. I've also been able to lace them in a way that I can slip them on and off without untying which is great for how lazy I am. They run slightly small, I'm usually a 7.5 womens but ended up with a size 8.

Good comfortable fit. I was
Good comfortable fit. I was a bit nervous to buy shoes without trying them on, but these are a good fit. I can't wait to put them to the real test this summer!

These shoes are stylish, comfortable, and perform incredibly well! I love the color and they grip on the trail surface (even mud!). Thank you Black Diamond!
