How the Momentum Lace fits

Black Diamond sizes the current Momentum Lace by the actual dimensions of the last, so your size is below your street size: half to one EU size down for an all-day comfort fit, one and a half to two for all-day performance, two to two and a half for the highest performance fit. We recommend about half a size below street size, as for the velcro Momentum. The micro suede upper molds to the foot but does not stretch.

Fit profile: narrow width, standard forefoot volume, medium heel, suits egyptian and roman toe shapes.

Minimal stretch expected; minimal break-in.
