La Sportiva Skwama Lite pies de gato - negro/amarillo - talla 39,5

Boulderers and sport climbers tackling steep, technical terrain need a shoe that delivers precision, sensitivity, and reliable heel hooking. The La Sportiva Skwama Lite in black/yellow is built for exactly that—an aggressive, high-performance model that excels on overhangs, micro-edges, and indoor comp problems. With its slip-lasted construction and patented P3 System, the shoe maintains its downturned shape over time, ensuring consistent power on the most demanding footholds.

Why choose it

• Technical face climbing requiring precise edging

Good to know

This shoe is not vegan-friendly due to the suede leather upper. It is available in EU size 39.5 and features a unisex fit. The hook-and-loop closure allows for quick on/off between burns, and the aggressive downturn is best suited for advanced climbers. For sizing, La Sportiva recommends downsizing 1-2 EU sizes from your street shoe for a performance fit.
