La Sportiva Skwama Vegan

La Sportiva's high-performance flagship, the Skwama, is also available in a vegan version. The Skwama Vegan is an aggressive, precise, and powerful climbing shoe - a true foothold machine that makes no compromises on holes, edges, and slopers, squeezing every bit of performance from your toes. Here’s the Skwama 4-point plan for your next climbing level:

Point 1: In addition to the unparalleled properties of Vibram® XS-Grip2, the Skwama Vegan features plenty of rubber, friction zones, and the guarantee that it will stick where your foot is placed.

Point 2: Thanks to maximum sensitivity and highly developed flexibility, extremely tactile climbing is possible, which pleasantly expands the range of use alongside wild hook maneuvers.

Point 3: No heel movement in the shoe when hooking! Thanks to La Sportiva's S-Heel™ system, the hooking shell is torsion-resistant and twist-proof. Everything fits snugly without wobbling.

Point 4: Last but not least, the combination of Velcro closure and slipper design ensures absolute grip and precise adjustment in the Skwama Vegan. What the stretch material doesn’t secure, the wide Velcro strap does.

Conclusion: If projects don’t succeed with this high-end foot claw, it’s definitely not the shoe's fault. The Skwama Vegan differs from its leather counterpart through the leather-free upper material Microbase SkinLike™. This consists of a 0.6 mm thick, odor-reducing microfiber, a breathable adhesive layer, and a 1.6 mm thick structural microfiber. This composite material makes the shoe just as breathable and enveloping, providing a fit as precise as a leather upper - only it is completely free of animal products.

Size recommendation: Buy two to two and a half sizes smaller than your normal shoe size.
