The lack of an edge allows you to be much less precise with your feet and get away with it but prevents precision foot placement on edges. View more

From crack climbing to steep pockets, the Skwamas will keep you on your toes. Where they fall short is in precision edging and slabs... The Skwama holds the foot in an aggressive shape, without crunching toes or cutting into heels. On technical cracks, smeary feet, and pockets, the La Sportiva Skwamas really shine. Since they are so comfortable and easy to put on and take off, they also make for a great cragging shoe and bouldering shoe. View more

Comfort on easy climbs is where this shoe shines. The Gripit performed well for young climbers but did have some shortcomings in the performance department. Our testers had trouble on slabs and cracks, as well as edging. The soft sole, while super comfy, just doesn't have the structure needed for most climbers to use on technical terrain. View more

Precision when standing on the most marginal of features, and even on the mirror-like bumps at Rifle I could stand with confidence, because I could feel the hold. View more

Whether I was pumping out limestone sport pitches, or dicing my way up sandstone slabs, or heel- and toe-hooking sandy boulder problems at Joe’s Valley, I was impressed with the shoe’s edging power. Small dishes, smears, pockets, and nubbins were no problem. View more
