What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "This is the go-to climbing shoe for young beginners. The fit is forgiving, it's easy to take on and off, and it holds up surprisingly well. My little one loves how comfy it feels-and I love how durable it's been in the gym." The Momentum Climbing Shoe makes those first vertical steps feel fun and confidence-building. Designed with young beginners in mind, it features a soft, breathable upper made entirely from Black Diamond's Engineered Knit Technology, providing stretch and airflow where it's needed most. The neutral, flat-last design helps create a comfortable, stable platform that encourages proper technique without the pressure of an aggressive fit. A molded 4. 3mm rubber sole offers durable grip on plastic and real rock alike, and a microfabric midsole adds just enough sensitivity to help kids feel secure on holds. A single hook-and-loop strap makes it quick and easy for little climbers to suit up on their own, while a reinforced toe box helps handle scrapes and scuffs from enthusiastic play.
