The Black Diamond Momentum climbing shoes for men are designed to support beginners and intermediate climbers, whether you’re starting out in the gym or heading for straightforward outdoor routes. They include a non-refillable chalk shot, so you have a quick supply of chalk at hand when you need it.
These shoes feature a knitted upper that adapts to your foot, offering breathability and a comfortable feel, and they fit true to size (you might even consider going up a half size if you prefer a bit more room). The dual Velcro straps let you adjust the fit on the fly, while the 4.3 mm molded Black Diamond rubber sole delivers reliable friction and enough toughness to withstand regular use. The included chalk shot helps keep your hands drier, which can make a real difference on tricky holds.
The 4.3 mm rubber thickness strikes a balance between sensitivity—so you can feel small edges—and durability against abrasion. A knitted upper is created by interlocking loops of yarn, allowing it to stretch around your foot and promote airflow. Velcro closures combine tiny hooks and loops to secure the shoe quickly and release it just as fast. The non-refillable chalk shot holds magnesium carbonate powder, which absorbs moisture from your hands; once it’s empty, you replace the entire pouch.
