We do not ship this product to North America.
The La Sportiva Skwama is a high end, mid-stiffness performance shoe which used the P3 midsole technology to keep the aggressive profile of the shoe over its lifetime. Some exciting new features of the shoe include the S-Heel construction which uses two different types of rubber compound to maintain rigidity and stability in the heel no matter which direction your heel hooks are pulling in. There is also a split sole which allows the sole to spread a little when weighted, this reduces any edge deformation.

P3® patented technology coupled with the new innovative split-sole construction allows the sole to spread when weighted, reducing edge deformation
Sticky rubber toe patch for toe hooks and scums

LINING: Unlined
MIDSOLE: 0.8mm LaspoFlex with P3®

How I choose the correct size?
All climbing shoe models fit differently. We put together our 'shoeculator' to help you find the right size in a new model, compared to your old climbing shoes or street shoes.
This sizing advice is based on two pairs of brand new shoes. Leather shoes tend to stretch more than synthetic shoes. When switching from synthetic to leather you may want to select a smaller size.

Mr
2nd pair. Awesome climbing shoes. Enough said.
Skwamas
Fantastic shoes at a really affordable price! Been bouldering better because of these bad boys! Will definitely do all my climbing shopping here from now on!
Best Bouldering shoe
Skwama is by far the best shoe I've used. It's not heavily down turned I feel which makes it more versatile and smears as good as it edges. Sensitivity is great. The S-heel is what works the best for me and no other shoe hooks so well. The toe hook patch is brilliant but could tend to peel off like other shoes.
Sooo good!
Sportclimbing dream shoes, especially for overhangs!
Was unsure on which size to buy coming from Scarpa's, wearing a 43 vapour v and instinct. Decided to go for 41.5 with the anticipation of stretch, (Note i do like an aggressive fit) they are now perfect but is some variation within a size so compare in the store to be sure!
Originally the shoes were crippling, I could hardly walk in them let alone climb for more than 2 boulder problems.
After 2/3 weeks and an especially sweaty session the shoes stretched out perfectly. They are now way more comfortable than my Scarpa's ever were . The grip 2 rubber is amazing but does wear out very quickly, will be buying another set for outdoor only and keeping my current pair as a hack set for indoor!
