Sizing Notes
For boots: Add one half size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters.

Good but not durable
7 months ago
I've had two pairs of the vegan skwama, the leather was my first pair and lasted a long time. Recently bought another pair of the leather ones. I really liked the vegan ones, they fit great and green is my color so it was a no brainer. However, I give it 3 stars as both pairs of the vegan skwamas have ripped between the pull tabs in the back after a few months. Not as durable as real leather.

Great shoe, runs a little smaller than original.
2 years ago
So far it’s every bit as great as the original skwama. I did size up .5 from the original, because they felt a little tighter and I’m not expecting much stretch.

Amazing shoes.
2 years ago
First of all, La Sportiva is the only brand that makes shoes that fit my feet. My feet are too large for womens' sizes, and most mens' sizes have too much space in other areas of the shoes. La Sportiva mens' sizes are the only ones that are low-volume enough that they're a good all-around fit. I also fit into the Butora Gomi womens' size, but they aren't vegan! These shoes are excellent. They break in well and have sticky rubber. For me, there's no reason to look for another vegan aggressive shoe. There's probably no reason to opt for the model that uses leather, either.

Very good shoe
2 years ago
Very very good shoe, I would say they break in less than a regular skwama but they feel great. if you are used to a solution or a Drago, the tip of the shoe will feel less precise. FOR PEOPLE WITH WIDE FEET, my foot it quite wide and I usually find it hard to not feel totally squished on the sides of my foot in la Sportiva shoes, this is no exception. if you have a very wide foot it will be a tad uncomfortable but still definitely wearable. these fit similar to theory's

Solid Vegan shoe
2 years ago
I've had the leather Skwama's for years, and love them, but I wanted to move towards a vegan shoe to reduce my impact on animal products. This shoe was slightly tighter to get into and had a slower break in, but it did break in and feels pretty awesome on my feet. I'm impressed with the climbing abilities of this shoe and don't see any limitations.

Stellar shoe, if they fit you
2 years ago
Absolutely stellar shoe. It feels like you just stick on overhangs. I've never bought la sportiva because most of their shoes use leather -- now you can! Unfortunately this shoe caused me to develop achilles tendon issues and now I'm out of climbing. If it hurts your achilles at all, return them. It's not worth it

Great Shoe! Cruelty Free!
2 years ago
Large toe box for wide thick feet. I have medium width and real arches. Returned them for another pair of Vegan Cruelty Free shoes. Rated them a 4 because I did not get to test them out. Best of Luck. Take Care and Climb Safe! Steve Thaw, Moraga, CA
