"Even for a high volume foot, it’s not an oppressive shoe. I’ll probably pass it on to my son when I move on from them"
"I really enjoy these shoes and having laces as well I enjoy more for a better custom fit and a nice style I would say too. I have no issues with them and use them 3 times a week climbing. They are comfortable even being snug!"
"Second pair I’ve purchased. Very comfortable"
"I am new to Climbing and needed a shoe that wasn't gonna break the bank and would fit my wider foot and this shoe does that perfectly."
"Comfortable fit and great grip"
"Shoes are comfortable and material is durable"
"I currently have the strap version of the momentum and they fit great! These are about 1 to 1. 5 inches smaller. I'd highly recommend not purchasing them unless you can try them on first."
