La Sportiva's Skwama Vegan Climbing Shoe gives us the same performance as its animal-hide-clad sibling but without the hide. The highly sensitive construction gives us direct feedback from the wall, and the downturned, high-asymmetry profile keeps our precision on point and our power driving through the big toe. Without leather to manage our sweat and stink, this pair features an absorbent, odor-fighting footbed to keep our feet fresh not swampy, while the P3 rand stops our sweaty feet from bagging out the fit.
