We appreciate the durability of the Session shoe to take us from work to gym to bar. The suede leather upper looks at home in the office and while working your boulder project, and the harder wearing rubber will last for many approaches to the crag and commutes around town.

Comfort and style
I wear these session shoes mainly at work. We have a fairly casual dress code. I like these because they are extremely comfortable. I did buy a half size up to give my toes room as I typically wear no shoes or "barefoot/minimalist" styles. The fit is perfect for me. The style looks great compared to many minimalist styles. My feet do not hurt after a day in them. Many of my teammates have purchased for the same reasons. I recommend them to everyone that asks "are you working in climbing shoes?"

Great but too narrow
I love everything about this shoe but wish the toe box was a bit wider.

Tyler W/ Black Diamond customer service is next level
Ordered these shoes for a Christmas present to myself and porch pirates swooped them right of my porch. Tyler sent me out a fresh pair with zero hassle. Truly incredible. Thank you Black Diamond for everything you do. Also these shoes are amazing. Incredibly light, perfect for function activities I have lifted in these, hiked in them, mountain biked in them, but they also look great for a night out or even with a business casual outfit.

Stylin suede
Loving the look of the suede, and the fit is great too. Fold down back is a must. Definitely one of the better shoes I've had

Side Session Shoes
Pretty comfy. Like the soft back, super easy to slip on. I am a woman but like men's shoes party because they are often wider. They are width wise about as tight as I would like but soft materials so maybe will stretch out a little. I know rock climbing shoes are typically tight but I think these are aimed more at being a cozy approach shoe so if you are a dude with giant wide feet they might not fit great.

Perfect Shoe
Checks all my boxes. Durable. Lightweight. Well-designed. For the most part they run true to size—perhaps on the snug side. If you have wide feet I probably would steer clear. I’ve tied these shoes once and will probably never have to tie them again. They slip on easy with or without the heal down. They look good with pants or shorts as a casual shoe or hike/approach shoe. I will most likely buy a second pair in another color.

Best color and style
I bought these shoes for my boyfriend and he said they are the best shoes he’s ever owned. So comfortable and easy to slip on. Stylish for day wear or casual dress.

Killer Shoes
Awesome for everyday wear. Comfortable for around the house even. They also hold their own on most low angle climbs. The heel does slip some so they are not ideal for aggressive climbing of any kind

Love BD's Sessions. These are my second pair and hopefully, they get me as many miles as my first!
