Like the scales on a snake, the Skwama is a super-sensitive, snug-fitting, all-embracing climbing shoe, making it the perfect choice for executing technical moves on overhangs (both indoors and outdoors) and on slabs.
Designed for performance, this model is extremely flexible thanks to the new construction of the sole, which increases the possibility of using the shoe spread on the rock in a uniform way. The suede leather and micro-fiber uppers perfectly wrap around the foot, eliminating rigid areas and internal voids. This promotes stability in torsion and is further enhanced by the innovative patented shell S-Heel, which maintains stability, accentuating the performance and adaptability of the shoe during heel hooks.
The Skwama model in protective, ultra-sticky rubber at the toe, guards against abrasion and forms a grippy surface for toe hooks. The Vibram XS-Grip2 sole provides maximum grip on any type of wall. Skwama: it fits like a skin, it protects like a scale.
- The new construction concept combines the advantages of a tight-fitting slipper with the precision and volume regulation of a hook-and-loop closure system.
- Maximum sensitivity and precision, along with torsional stability, allow the shoe to follow the movements of the foot, eliminating empty volumes and rigid areas.
- Innovative patented S-Heel heel provides perfect stability in torsion, enhancing performance and flexibility for heel hooks.
- The innovative two-part sole construction is designed to enhance longitudinal flexibility and encourage the 'spread' of climbing shoes.
- Upper: Microfibre in combination with suede leather, tubular construction.
- Lining: None.
- Midsole: LaSpoFlex 0,8 mm full length midsole + P3 System.
- Sole: 3,5 mm Vibram XS Grip2
- Patents: Permanent Power Platform.
For the best performance, climbing shoes should fit tight but not painfully so. A proper fit will help you climb harder and longer.
Experienced climbers strongly disagree on how tight is "tight" and what "comfortable" actually means. Combine this with the fact that all feet are different and that each brand has slightly different sizing standards, and you will understand why it is very hard to give proper advice on climbing shoe sizes. Even sizing recommendations based on your street shoe size will always be hit or miss... but mostly miss.
Having said that, if you're a beginner, expect your climbing shoes to feel much tighter than your street shoes. Do yourself a favor and start with shoes from our comfort range! Your second or even third pair will be smaller, and that's totally ok.
We realise this might not be the shoe size advice you were expecting, but the best we can do is being honest 🙃
