- Remarkable breathability
- Affordable price tag
- Eastern Mountain Sports
- Recommended for beginners
- Super lightweight
- Excellent adhesive prowess
Cons
- Too narrow
- Excellent crack and smearing performance
Who should buy the Excellent underfoot support
The Excellent underfoot support shines on virtually all fronts, and those who would choose to send projects in it would only be witnesses to the exciting things it can do. It is a solid option if you:
- Prefer a climbing shoe that gives users a combination of adequate sending performance and all-day comfort.
- Need a climbing shoe that gives wearers a sensitive platform.
- Excellent underfoot support.
Excellent crack and smearing performance
The Momentum Lace uses a 4.3-mm thick rubber outsole which adheres to a variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces. Its lightness and grip performance is linked to its molded engineering.
Excellent underfoot support
This BD offering grants adequate underfoot support for handling tricky edges.
Excellent crack and smearing performance
Its soft-flex construction gives climbers the ability to negotiate cracks and pull off smearing maneuvers.
Breathable
The breathable synthetic upper of the Momentum Lace is virtually made entirely of the brand-exclusive Engineered Knit Technology. It comes with a microfiber liner on the inside.
Provides edging protection
A hard-wearing rand is built around its forefoot for edging protection. Randing is also present at the heel, rendering extra rearfoot support and security.
Excellent lacing system
The upper’s equation is made complete by the shoe’s lacing system and two heel pull loops.
Excellent underfoot support vs. La Sportiva Solution
A shoe that gets pitted against the Momentum Lace is the La Sportiva Solution. The following are a few aspects that set them apart:
Downturn. The Momentum Lace is a neutral piece, while the climbing footgear from La Sportiva is aggressively downturned.
Pricing. The price difference between the two kicks is night and day. Indeed, the Momentum Lace is cheaper than its rival by about $80.
Weight. The featured shoe is lighter than the Solution by about 30 grams.
