Session Shoe

The Session Shoe is the most casual approach shoe from Black Diamond, designed for climbers commuting from climbing gyms to crags, and maybe stopping at a cafe along the way. Black Diamond's engineered knit upper feels both breathable and durable to keep comfy on warm trails, and the elastic heel maintains a snug fit that you can collapse to wear as a slip-on in between redpoint attempts. The lining is a sock-like bootie built to accommodate socks, or not. Underfoot, Black Diamond's BlackLabel rubber gives street-styled stickiness, and EVA cushions on trails and sidewalks alike.

Great for bouldering and belaying

These are super comfortable, even though the toes are not very precise. Size .5 or 1 down from street, I wear a 9.5 women’s and I could have used an 8.5 or 9 women’s. I wear socks to make up for it and they’re fine. Otherwise great construction and super convenient!

Comfortable and lightweight

These shoes are very comfortable and I appreciate the ability to slide on without pulling the back lip up. It's still comfortable to be worn like that and they are very lightweight. Have not worn on longer approaches yet but think they will hold up great!

I’m in Love!

I absolutely love these shoes. The look good and are comfortable. I wear the walking around town, to work, and at the crag. I have even climbed low level climbs in them with no issue. I’m considering a second pair.

Super comfortable, sticky soles

Wow, the most comfortable and stickiest approach shoes I've ever owned. The footbed is very pliable, which is unusual for approach shoes, but the rubber is super sticky so it's perfect for desert slick rock. I am wondering whether these shoes will hold up to the beating compared to my LaSportivas, but I am willing take the tradeoff of comfort over sturdiness.

Excellent

Had these shoes for myself (male) for about 6 months and absolutely loved them, had to buy them for my wife and she absolutely loves them! Lightweight yet sturdy. Love that you can wear them like slippers. The mesh lets your feet breath which is much needed when my sweaty smelly feet. Will buy again and again.
