La Sportiva Skwama Vegan Woman

La Sportiva's high-performance flagship, the Skwama, is also available in a vegan version. The Skwama Vegan Women is an aggressive, precise, and powerful climbing shoe – a true foothold machine that makes no compromises on pockets, edges, and slopers, squeezing performance out of your toes to the last drop. Here’s the Skwama 4-point plan for your next climbing level: Point 1: In addition to the unmatched properties of Vibram® XS-Grip2, the Skwama Vegan is a climbing shoe with plenty of rubber, friction zones, and the guarantee that it will stick where your foot is placed. Point 2: Thanks to its maximum sensitivity and highly developed flexibility, this Italian shoe allows for extremely tactile climbing, which pleasantly expands its range of use alongside wild hooking sessions. 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 and 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 your projects don’t succeed with this high-end foot claw, it’s unfortunately not the shoe’s fault… What sets the Skwama Vegan Women apart from its leather counterpart is the leather-free upper material Microbase SkinLike™. This is made from 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.
