La Sportiva Women's Skwama Climbing Shoe - Apple Green/Cobalt Blue

Product details: - Sole material: Leather, Suede, Rubber - Outer material: Leather - Closure type: Hook & Loop - Care instructions: Machine Wash

About this item: For optimal performance, the patented S-Heel construction of these climbing shoes provides excellent heel hooking maneuverability and a perfect heel cup fit for any type of wall, whether on sheer rock faces, slabs, or overhangs. Designed for advanced edging, these shoes offer sensitivity, flexibility, and precision on all surfaces. The P3 Patent System and new split-sole construction allow the sole to spread out when weight is applied, reducing edge deformation and strengthening holds.

The Skwama model features protective, ultra sticky rubber toe patches to protect against abrasion and provide a grippy surface for toe hooks and scumming, making climbing more fluid, instinctive, and harmonious. These shoes are designed for comfort with a Vibram sole, suede leather upper, and a flexible build that offers a balance of comfort and high performance.

When buying rock climbing shoes, it's important to refer to the La Sportiva size chart for more accurate sizing. The fit should be tight but not painful, without any pressure points.
