Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Aggressive downturn meets high asymmetry in the La Sportiva Skwama, a performance climbing shoe built for steep sport routes and bouldering. The Vibram XS Grip2 sole (3.5 mm) delivers exceptional friction on micro-edges and smears, while the S-Heel™ construction and integrated toe patch provide secure heel hooks and toe hooks. A single hook-and-loop strap and P3 Permanent Power Platform maintain the shoe's downturned shape over time, ensuring consistent performance.

Overview

The Skwama is designed for climbers seeking a precise, sensitive fit on overhanging terrain. Its suede leather and microfiber upper offers a balance of comfort and durability, while the Pacific lining in the front and Dentex in the rear manage moisture and enhance breathability. The LaSpoFlex 0.8 mm midsole in the forefoot adds support without sacrificing sensitivity, allowing you to feel the rock. With a high asymmetry and aggressive downturn, this shoe excels on pockets, edges, and powerful heel hooks.

What stands out

  • Vibram XS Grip2 rubber for superior grip on all rock types
  • P3 System preserves the downturned shape for the shoe's lifetime
  • S-Heel™ provides a snug, secure heel cup for hooking
  • Integrated toe patch enhances toe hooking performance
  • Single Velcro strap for quick on/off and a customized fit
