Black Diamond Method S Climbing Shoe Men's

When the wall kicks past vertical and the holds get stingy, the Black Diamond Method S is the shoe you want strapped on. Its moderate downturn and tensioned slingshot midsole pull your foot into an aggressive, ready-to-pounce shape, so you can stand on tiny edges and pull through roofs without your foot folding on you. The molded heel cup bites down hard on heel hooks, and the rubberized toe box gives you a real toe hook when you need to flag off a volume or scum your way past a blank section. BlackLabel Fuse rubber on the outsole keeps you stuck to crimps, smears, and everything in between, so you can trust your feet instead of white-knuckling the next clip. A single Velcro strap means you can crank it down between burns and get back on the wall before your belayer finishes their coffee. The engineered knit upper keeps things breathable against your skin, so the shoe stays comfortable project after project instead of turning into a foot sauna. Built for steep sport routes and gnarly boulder problems alike, the Method S gives you the confidence to commit to the move instead of second-guessing it.
