Sensitive to the animal kingdom and the rock, La Sportiva's Skwama Vegan Climbing Shoe keeps us in-tune with Mother Nature. The construction is completely devoid of animal-derived materials and flush with performance. As we climb, the soft midsole and sticky rubber has us molding to the texture of holds for unbeatable grip and dancing confidently through technical sequences. When maintaining tension in the steep, the S-Heel construction and textured toe rubber give us bomber hooks. And after long, sweaty sessions, the odor-fighting lining helps keep these shoes from offending our nostrils when we pull them off.
