Black Diamond Session Approach Shoe

The Session is a shoe that you're likely to fall in love with (and if you don't believe me, just try a pair on). From the moment you slip a pair on there's an instant 'oooh' factor as the mesh/knit uppers mould around your foot. Whilst bouldering and sport climbing, indoors or out, its easy slip-on design makes it a pleasure to use - not least because of its lightweight, comfortable and breathable nature. It is also a rare example of a product that manages to combine lightness and durability, hence this is a shoe that I can see being re-soled several times before it eventually wears out. Were there to be a drawback it would be that it isn't the most supportive shoe on technical terrain, but given that this isn't what it was designed for it would seem unfair to judge it too harshly on this count.
