La Sportiva Skwama klimschoen - paars/geel

Aggressive downturn and Vibram® XS Grip2™ rubber deliver precision on steep sport routes and boulder problems.

Its aggressive downturn and high asymmetry concentrate power over the big toe, while the P3 System maintains the shoe's downturned shape over time. The upper combines suede leather and microfiber for a balance of comfort and durability, with a Pacific lining in the front and Dentex in the rear to manage moisture.
