Skwama - Black / Poppy
The La Sportiva Skwama is a super-sensitive, high-performance climbing shoe that is packed with features- now in available in Black and Poppy! La Sportiva has managed to cram a lot of smart ideas into this shoe. The sole has a two-part construction which increases the ability of the shoe to "spread" on the rock for better smearing. It also features the S-Heel, which uses two different types of rubber and an "incompressible rubber insert". This helps maintain rigidity and stability in the heel no matter the direction your heel hooks are pulling in, and a hook on holds during torsion-heavy moves. The elongated sticky toe rubber provides friction across the entire forefoot for toe hooks and scums. The P3 technology to keep the aggressive profile of the shoe over its lifetime.
Technical Specifications
* Patented S-Heel™ construction provides optimal heel hooking maneuverability and the perfect heel cup fit
* 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
Upper: Microfibre in combination with suede leather, tubular construction
Lining: Dentex in the back
Midsole: 0,8 mm LaSpoFlex full length midsole + P3 System
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.

Better than the solutions
In my opinion the skwama is better than the solutions. The most basic thing was the narrower solutions did not fit my foot as well as the skwama.
The skwama felt had an almost perfect slipper fit. Comparing it to the perfect fit I feel in the scarpa instinct vs.
I did like the softer rubber. Along with the little tear drop cut out the skwama just spreads for a better feel on something like a volume.
One of the last things is the black n red color. This is the color the shoe should have been since first coming out. Not the school bus big bird yellow.
