Need a precise and versatile shoe for your bouldering, sport, and technical face climbing projects?

Scarpa’s Vapor V is a best-selling shoe that features fresh colors and mean chops on steep and overhanging terrain. Slightly softer and more sensitive than its sibling – the Vapor lace up – this shoe was built for bouldering, sport climbing, and technical face climbing.

The Vapor V’s split outsole improves flexibility and comfort. The padded air mesh tongue ensures all-day cushioning, especially when the hook-and-loop velcro straps are cranked down to lock in that heel.

Downturned, supportive, sensitive,and moderately aggressive, the Vapor V will hold its shape as you tick off your projects on account of Scarpa’s Bi-Tension system. The Bi-Tension system is a tensioned rubber wrap reaching down two sides of the shoe. It gives priority to sensitivity and subtle support. Specially adapted to Scarpa’s slightly asymmetrical models, Bi-Tension runs under the front of the toes and draws down along the sides of the foot, leaving the center pad for sensitivity.
