La Sportiva Skwama Vegan Woman
La Sportiva
The Skwama Vegan Woman combines the aggressive performance profile of the Skwama with an entirely animal-free construction on a women's-specific last. The synthetic Microbase SkinLike upper provides consistent fit without stretch, paired with La Sportiva's S-Heel system and P3 platform for powerful heel hooks and maintained downturn over the shoe's lifespan.
