Black Diamond's Momentum very impressive

The Momentum from Black Diamond has become my wife's favorite climbing shoe. She like that the discrete "Yoga look" instead of climbing in pink, orange or other bright colors. It is very easy to put on and off as well as it is not so sweaty due to its great breathability. The last is flat and the midsole is very soft making it a very comfortable shoe. What amazes me is how sticky and durable the 4.3mm NeoFriction rubber is. In other words, it performs really well for both beginners, standing on big holds or doing shorter routes, as well as for experts who do not want the down turned shoe. Black Diamond will launch several different shoes in 2018 which are produced in Korea. Video presentation
