Why We Like The Vapor V Climbing Shoe
Upgrade your sending arsenal with Scarpa Men's Vapor V Climbing Shoe before hopping on your lifelong projects again. This shoe focuses on precise footwork over a variety of footholds, both overhung and vertical. Bi-Tension randing reverses standard slingshot randing in order to connect your toe to your heel, instead of uncomfortably bunching your toes towards the front of the shoe. The result is a more powerful performance, assisting any movement from technical static moves to huge dynamic jumps.

Favorite shoe for gym climbing
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I normally use Tenaya Ras for gym days but I wanted a tighter fit for more performance. Good luck finding Tenaya shoes to try on anywhere. So I went through a bunch of different shoes and landed on the Scarpa Vapor V for a few reasons. They fit my toes properly. Some shoe brands kill my toes because my second is longer than my big toe. I love my TC pros for outdoor slab and crack climbing — especially edging. I wanted a shoe with XS edge soles. These fit the bill perfectly! Finally I wanted a slight down turn and if I curl my feet as I put them in and Velcro up, they stay snug and give me great toe pressure for tiny edges. Love these shoes!

Comfortable!

These shoes don't need breaking-in. In terms of other qualities -- edging on small foot chips, feel/sensitivity -- these seem to be middle-of-the-road. For example, the Miura seems stiffer and can hold tiny edges better. The Quantix seem softer and gives you a bit better feel. The Skwama seems to be similarly comfortable for wide-ish feet, but these are less aggressive. These are definitley my go-to for comfort without significant compromise in performance. The rubber may wear slightly more quickly but I believe this is the price you pay for softer compounds. I am on my seoncd pair, but plan to re-sole them eventually. I wear these in my street shoes size.

Not good quality
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I got these shoes expecting top quality shoes, but with in a month and a half they were already breaking down. The rubber is just not durable. When I talked to customer service they said that this was normal. To say the least I'm not thrilled with these shoes.

Painful at first but fits like a glove!
- Familiarity:

At first i thought I had gotten the wrong size as they seemed just too tight! But after a few gym sessions in, they really fit like a glove and am not complaining at all! Super comfortable after the break in period and there is no air gap at all. The toe box and heel cup are snug like a glove. Just the right amount of downturn for most routes. They have good sensitivity and smear very well as they are soft. Not the best for bouldering but they will be able to work!
