The Method S climbing shoe offers a moderate downturn and curvature for power and precision on overhung routes. It features Black Diamond's stickiest rubber compound, a soft synthetic knit upper that stretches about half a size, and a low-volume last for narrow feet. The moisture-wicking, high-tension tongue maintains shape, while the stretch panel with hook-and-loop strap allows easy on-off. A soft midsole provides sensitive performance on steep climbs.
