Loves their Skwama Lites; very comfortable.
Loves the Skwama Lite fit but hated the grip; resoled with XS Grip 2.
Skwama Lite fits the sides of the heel perfectly; not a fan of the rubber.
After about five months and 20–30 sessions in the Skwama Lite, finds it fits exceptionally well but its rubber performs noticeably worse on small feet and wood holds than the Vibram rubber on their other shoes.
Has owned the Skwama Lite for several months after Kubos and finds it a good shoe for them, softer and more downturned than the Kubo, whose arch didn't suit their foot.
Returned the Veloce after a week for the Skwama Lite, which they find very comfortable but only marginally stiffer.
Really likes the Skwama Lites; downsized from 43 to 40.5 and they stretched out after a couple of sessions.
Their Skwama Lites were stiff new but became much softer once broken in; rubber feels similar to their Kubo.
Weakest on board climbing: average stickiness and little downturn make small slick wooden footholds hard compared with the Skwama.
Moving to Skwama Lites from Force V and Tarantula Boulder, they now project V5-6.
Has Skwama Lites and loves them, though thinks they're overkill for a beginner.
Loved their Skwama Lites for bouldering.
Owns the vegan Skwama Lite in 39 and it stretched about as much as their leather Skwama.
Finds the Skwama Lite totally fine with decent rubber and very comfortable; would climb V10-11 in them.
Currently wearing Skwama Lites and they seem to have fixed their heel fit issues.
Skwama Lite acts like a slipper with an excellent heel; same size as their Solutions.
After 4-5 sessions their Skwama Lites have no pain and can be worn about 30 minutes.
Skwama Lites still hurt their big-toe knuckle after a break; putting them up for sale.
