Product Description
La Sportiva Skwama Lite Black/Yellow – Climbing Shoes
The La Sportiva Skwama Lite is designed for intermediate climbers who want to improve their technique without sacrificing comfort. Versatile and easy to wear, it is suitable for both bouldering and lead climbing, from indoor training sessions to days at the crag.
The moderate downturn and slightly roomier toe box allow the shoe to accommodate a range of foot shapes while providing lasting comfort during intensive sessions. An unlined microfibre upper and highly breathable three-layer SkinLike™ footbed wrap comfortably around the foot from the first wear.
The 4 mm FriXion® Black sole offers an effective balance of grip, sensitivity and precision, supporting delicate footwork and smearing. A 1.1 mm LaSpoFlex midsole with the P3™ system provides support and torsional rigidity, while a grippy rubber toe patch improves control during toe hooks. The closure system derived from the original Skwama makes the shoe easy to put on and adjust.
