Description
Work micro-nubbins and polished edges with these super sensitive and flexible slipper-like shoes. The Skwama has a sticky rubber toe patch to aid hooking and scrumming, and an S-heel construction to add power to your heel hooks. The split sole is designed to spread under load to reduce deformation and help you balance on tiny edges.
- Uppers are leather with microfibre, unlined for a glove-like fit and sensitive feel.
- Hook-and-loop closure makes for easy on/off and lets you tune in a performance fit.
- S-Heel offers stable, confident heel hooking.
- P3 rand construction with 0.8mm LapsoFlex midsoles.
- Sticky rubber toe patch for grip and comfort when toe hooking.
- Split sole construction offers grip on small edges.
- Soles are 4mm Vibram® XS Grip2.
- La Sportiva suggests downsizing 1-1.5 sizes (performance fit) or 0.5-1 sizes (comfort fit) from your street shoe size.

A neutral shoe suits long routes and cracks. Moderate shoes allow precision and good edging. Aggressive shoes are downturned and tensioned, for power to the toe on steep or overhanging routes. |

Asymmetry
Highly asymmetric shoes allow more precision and focused power. Symmetrical shoes are more comfortable for all-around climbing. |

Stiffness
Stiffness is provided by the type of sole and the tensioning system. Softer shoes allow more precision. Supportive shoes prevent fatigue. |
