Description of πŸ‘ž SCARPA Men's Vapor V: Versatile Sport Climbing and Bouldering Shoes

Vibram XS Edge (3.5mm) sole. 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.

This is a wonderful mid-level shoe

This is a wonderful mid-level shoe. This was my second pair of climbing shoes and I wore them from six months into my sophomore year of climbing. I've used them both indoors and outdoors. The XS Edge rubber is nice and durable as I still had bad footwork when I first started using them. At first I had a bit of pain in my Achilles tendon, but that may have been because I resized it a bit tighter. They were recently retired in favor of a newer version of the Vapor V that I really like. Street…

second pair, heavy duty intermediate athletic shoes

I am a woman who wears size 8.5 outdoor shoes and 40 Vapor V (men, this shoe) fits great. They last a reasonable amount of time before wearing out at the toes; I worked with the first pair for a year and climbed about 8 hours a week in the gym. I have wide forefeet (bumps) but a rather narrow heel. My toes hurt on top the first few uses, but my shoes and feet quickly adjusted. I take them off when belaying, but I can leave them on for an hour or so when bouldering. They're great for hooks, I…

They fit well on moderately wide feet. Perfect toe feel. Great edge!

When I first tried on these shoes, I thought they would run small. I tried 42.5 and they first damaged my little finger on the outside. My big toe was a perfect fit, as was my heel. My feet are moderately wide so fit was important. I tried 43 and immediately realized there was too much room in the toe and heel. I returned to 42.5. When the shoes were warm, I tried them on this time. They fit like a glove. These are my first pair of mid-range sneakers but they are amazing! You need a little time
