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.

Feels nice climbing really bad quality
1 year ago
I bought the same size as all my other la sportiva shoes (skwama non vegan, solution, solution comp). Been using them just for outdoors climbing (once a week) for the last 6 weeks and the quality is really bad, the heel on both climbing shoes has been starting to tear apart (photo attached). First time in my 6 years of climbing this happens. I always bought la sportiva thinking they had the best quality shoes, seems like this is changin

Same reliable Skwama
2 years ago
First off, the Skwama is a soft high performing shoe that is very comfortable. Been my go-to for years. There is no difference in feel between the original and vegan version EXCEPT for I got a half size up (from 35 to 35.5).

Skwamas for Lyfe

Great fit for people with wider toe-box like me, and just in general most asian's feet (iykyk). Snug but generally comfortable for climbing shoes. Great sensitivity and easy to break in. Stretch less than the non-vegan shoes, color combo is so nice.

Reliable, yet Snug
1 year ago
I love these shoes, not too aggressive like the Miura’s but not as soft as the Theory’s. Love these because I feel like they are good for small footholds but don’t crush my toes. I do, however, wish I would have sized up a half a size since the vegans don’t stretch, so I do use a softer shoe for warming up. One con is that the shoe is peeling in the toe box which is a bummer, but they are still totally functional.

Getting my second pair

These are my go to climbing shoes now since they are so comfortable. No shoe laces or Velcro, good amount of rubber on top of the shoes makes it perfect for bat hang and toe hook. They do stretch too. Get same size or half size up from the non vegan Skwama.
