La Sportiva Skwama Climbing Shoes - Purple/Yellow - EU 41

Built around the Vibram XS Grip2 sole, the La Sportiva Skwama delivers uncompromising grip on steep boulders and technical sport routes. A moderate downturn and high asymmetry keep your foot locked into a powerful position, while the 3.5 mm sole provides just the right balance of sensitivity and support for precise footwork.

Overview

The Skwama is a high-performance climbing shoe designed for bouldering, sport climbing, and indoor climbing. Its suede leather and microfiber upper offers a supple, adaptive fit that molds to your foot over time, while the hook-and-loop strap ensures quick on/off and a secure closure. The P3 (Permanent Power Platform) system maintains the shoe's downturned shape throughout its life, delivering consistent performance from first climb to last.
