La Sportiva Skwama Sapato de escalada - amarelo/preto - EU 44.5

Technical climbing demands a shoe that disappears on your foot, letting you feel every ripple in the rock. The La Sportiva Skwama delivers that sensitivity with a soft, precise platform built for bouldering and steep sport routes.

Who is it for

Climbers who prioritize feel and precision on overhanging terrain, competition-style problems, and technical face climbs. The moderate asymmetry and aggressive downturn suit advanced boulderers and sport climbers seeking high performance without excessive stiffness.

Tips

For best performance, size down from your street shoe by 1-2 EU sizes. The Skwama stretches minimally, so a snug initial fit is key. Allow a few sessions for the shoe to mold to your foot.
