1. Black Diamond Momentum climbing shoes
The Kid's Momentum from Black Diamond is an ideal entry-level shoe for young climbers. The upper made of elastic knit fabric does not constrict and is breathable, yet still provides good support. The shoe can be adjusted with the wide Velcro strap. The sole is stable in the forefoot area, offering grip on small footholds, while a zone made of microfiber in the midsole provides the necessary sensitivity. The rubber is molded from a single layer and offers good grip on both artificial and real rock.

2. Black Diamond M Method S Climbing Shoes
The Method S was designed for steep climbing routes. With its soft midsole, a last with camber, and rubber applications in the toe area, heel and toe hooks feel completely natural. The simple Velcro strap ensures the right fit. The molded rubber soles with high friction values provide optimal grip without sacrificing performance or weight. The engineered knit upper offers breathability and high comfort against the skin. The women-specific model features an adjusted last.

3. Black Diamond Method climbing shoes
The Black Diamond Method is designed for sport climbing and is suitable for various types of rock, whether limestone, sandstone, or other rock types. With its focus on comfort in the forefoot area and a minimal break-in period, the Method is comfortable from the start while also providing good edge control and power transfer for beginners on the rock. Featuring a downward-curved, yet not overly aggressive last, these shoes perform well on both overhanging and vertical routes, making them a versatile climbing shoe for anyone who values simplicity. The high-friction rubber is molded rather than cut from a sheet – inspired by the way we forge our carabiners. This allows us to optimize its shaping for less waste, low weight, and high consistency and comfort. A stretch-resistant microfiber upper provides comfort against the skin. The tongue is made from our comfortable, microsuede-lined webbing, which is particularly breathable and enhances mobility. The Method wraps this construction with Velcro straps, allowing you to adjust the desired tension and fit.
