Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Vapor V Climbing Shoe for Women by Scarpa by Michael Lara

Revainrating 5 out of 5

LOVE them once they're cracked!

I love these bouldering shoes. I wear a street size 7, a half size to 37.5M and damn it was painful for the first week or two! I had to take them off between climbs and I definitely got blisters on my toes during that time. However, once they were fully broken in (between 1-2 weeks) they became a dream. Now I only have to take them off about once an hour, although I need to take them off more often. I like that they're aggressive without being too deep and they're great for slabs or sloping walls. They may not be as good at caves/overhangs compared to solutions, but I find them more flexible in terms of the range of tasks in the gym. I think for top rope/sport routes they're ok once you break them in, but if you're looking for something more comfortable for longer routes they might not be the best. They are simply a dream for bouldering. I have TWO pairs and within 5-6 months each had a tiny hole on the front of the upper, around the 3rd and 4th toes. I recently revised them because I love them so much and so far so good! If I buy another pair I probably won't get any smaller at all.
