Why We Like The Session Suede Approach Shoe

From the daily grind to weekend cragging, Black Diamond's Session Suede Approach Shoe keeps up with our on-the-move lifestyle. It is durable enough for all the miles we put in on city commutes and long approaches but is comfortable enough that we don't even notice how much ground we've covered.

One of my favorite work shoes

I have worn these in Alaska for some summer climbing, around the East Coast as well - they hold up great. Super light and comfortable, I’m able to move quickly and change in and out of the shoes rapidly. They’re also a great shoe for bumming around as pictured.

So comfortable and spacious!!

I’m a barefoot gal and these shoes leave me all the space to wiggle! So comfortable and durable. Easy slide on option too!

Best shoes I've seen ever owned

Comfortable, stylish, easy to slip on. Real confidence boosters. Run a tad small

In love!

So comfy, so cute. Never have to untie them, and the collapsing heel is a nice touch. Excellent for biking to work since they feel sturdy on the bike and are polished enough to wear to a casual-ish office environment.

Comfy and easy to get on

Comfy shoes that fit well. Wore them all day and my feet hurt intermittently but perhaps its because they are new shoes.

Good everyday shoes

Sizing is accurate. The sole is very soft and compliant, it gives you a good feel of the surface you are walking or running on. The slip on feature is very convenient for when you need to quickly step out of the house, or make quick errands. The only down side is the footbeds it comes with does not have much arch support

Hiked the approach and return from snakedike with these after 2 years of use, feet still feel fine. Sole is excellent even after a few years and great for mix of terrain including descending slick, wet granite slab.

Very comfortable. No break in

Very comfortable. No break in time needed. Apparently they are eye catching too, a woman at the airport wanted to know the brand name b/c she liked the look of them.

Cute but not for around town

I've used it several times

To be fair I did not buy these for climbing. These are probably great shoes for climbing. But they have no cushion or support, and are also tight in the toe box. Not for wearing around town or putting in lots of miles like the description says b
