Versatility In Form | Built with a moderate downturn and slightly asymmetric profile, the Vapor V blends performance in steep terrain with the sensitivity and comfort you need when the angle eases off.
Suede In Spades | A microsuede upper with a reduced tongue volume keeps the shoe supple, while a suede foot base conforms to the shape of your foot, providing all-day comfort.
Vibram XS Edge Rubber | Stiff enough to let you stand on the thinnest edges, the XS Edge outsole pairs nicely with the softer M70 rubber in the heel for a shoe that can handle everything from short, technical boulders to long, vertical headwalls.
Flexan Dynamic Midsole | Offsetting the softer upper, the redesigned Flexan midsole is slightly stiffer, offering plenty of support and reducing foot fatigue on multi-pitch routes.
Bi-Tension Rand | Using a reverse slingshot design, this system connects your heel to your toe, resulting in less foot discomfort and more power being driven towards your primary edging surface.
Description
Made for the climber who wants to do it all, the SCARPA Men's Vapor V Climbing Shoe has everything you need to take on difficult boulder problems, steep caves, and spicy vertical runouts — all without changing your shoes. Starting with a moderate downturn and slight asymmetry, SCARPA gave these shoes a microsuede upper to limit stretch, mitigating the need for uncomfortable downsizing. Next, they added in a Flexan midsole, which, when combined with the stiff Vibram XS Edge rubber, gives you a shoe that can stand on thin edges without shying away from the occasional smear along the way. Rounded out with SCARPA's patented Bi-Tension Rand, which offers you precision without the usual foot-pain that comes with it, the Vapor V has everything you need to climb hard without taking your shoes off between burns. Get yourself a pair of Vapor V's and get back to sending.
