Vapour V

1 review(s) | Add your review
The Scarpa Vapour V is a high-performance climbing shoe that balances precision, comfort, and durability. Its slightly asymmetrical, downturned shape excels on steep sport routes and technical boulders, while the microfibre upper, padded air mesh tongue, and twin Velcro closure ensure a snug, secure fit. The Bi-Tension rand enhances toe power without discomfort, and the full-length Talyn midsole evenly distributes force for optimal support. Upgraded with a harder Ilga toe rand for improved edging and Vibram XS Edge rubber for long-lasting grip, the Vapour V offers exceptional performance and can be resoled to extend its lifespan.

The Scarpa Vapour V (smoke/yellow) is a staple in the climbing world, known for its perfect balance of performance, comfort, and durability. Designed with a slightly asymmetrical and downturned shape, it excels on everything from indoor boulders to alpine big walls. The microfibre upper and padded air mesh tongue ensure a snug, comfortable fit, while the twin Velcro closure provides easy adjustment. A full-length Flexan midsole and Bi-Tension rand system deliver the right mix of support and sensitivity. The latest model now features a harder Ilga toe rand, improving edging precision and durability. Finished with Vibram XS Edge rubber, the Vapour V offers superior grip and maintains its shape over time, making it a trusted choice for climbers of all levels.

Features:
Bi-Tension rand: Enhances toe power without excessive pressure
Vibram XS Edge rubber: Maximum support and precision for technical edging
Full-length Talyn midsole (1.0mm): Evenly distributes force across the foot
Multi-panel upper: Seamless big toe panel for a custom-moulded fit
Microfibre & suede construction: Combines durability with comfort
Twin Velcro strap closure: Easy entry and secure fit
Padded air mesh tongue: Breathability and comfort for long sessions
Resoling possible: Extends shoe lifespan and maintains performance

Specifications:

Old Version (ocean/yellow):
The Scarpa Vapour V is a high-performance rock climbing shoe designed for precision, comfort, and durability. Built on the low-volume FR last, it features a slightly downturned shape and medium to low toe box, balancing toe power and smearing ability. The Vibram XS Edge rubber ensures exceptional grip and edging support, while the bi-tension rand system and full-length Talyn midsole provide optimal stability. A microfibre upper, redesigned Velcro straps, and an improved heel and toe rand enhance fit, comfort, and performance on technical climbs.

Features:
Last: FR (low volume, slightly asymmetrical)
Sole: Vibram XS Edge 2 for superior edging support
Upper: Microsuede for durability and comfort
Midsole: Full-length Talyn for added stability

Mid grade trad and edging rockshoe
5
Staff Review: A good edging shoe that has a nice balance between stiffness and sensitivity. In my opinion the shoe is slightly let down by the fit of the heel, but some feet do fit it well. It still performs excellently as a mid-grade trad shoe where heel hooks are going to be less frequently needed or on crimpier bouldering and sport routes. But a softer shoe may be desired on more friction based rock types.
