Designed for sport climbing on cliffs, the Method climbing shoes perform well on all types of rock. Whether it's gritty limestone or demanding slabs, these Black Diamond shoes prioritize forefoot comfort (after a minimal break-in period, of course). But beware, this comfort does not compromise the Method's performance. Featuring a degree of stiffness that allows for better edge control for increased power, it is moderately downturned to perform on a wide variety of angles. Versatile with its sticky rubber, it also includes a stretch-resistant microfiber upper that is comfortable against the skin. The woven tongue is cushy in microsuede for increased mobility and breathability. Finally, with an easy-to-use Velcro closure, the Method men's climbing shoe ensures an optimized fit and perfect support.
