It's incredibly lightweight and a puffy that's actually eco-friendly, made with recycled loose-fill fibers instead of your regular goose feathers.

    La Sportiva Women's Skwama Climbing Shoe Review

    Confident, sexy, and with just the right amount of aggression, the Women's Skwama climbing shoes are a nice addition to the La Sportiva line, and my new climbing favorite shoe.
