An innovative take on a classic climbing slipper, the Scarpa Vapour S is a powerful, precise shoe for sport climbing and bouldering. For climbing slipper fans, this could be the slipper you've been looking for. If you've been debating whether or not to wear a slipper, or if you're new to the concept, now is the time to take the plunge! The stand-out feature is the removable Nano Strap System that closes around the ankle, minimising the dreaded heel slippage, giving you the option of a relaxed slipper-style fit for those long training sessions at the wall, or you can really crank up the strap, which operates like any other velcro closer system, for a solid fit when needed the most. Built upon the same foundations as Scarpa's best-selling Vapour family of climbing shoes, the Vapour S is perfect for sport climbing indoors and out due to its excellent sensitivity and pin-point precision on small edges. It also features a low-angled toe profile so you can squeeze into small cracks for maximum purchase from the rock. The built-in Bi-Tension System is a reverse slingshot rand that runs under the toes and connects directly to the heel. This draws power from your toes without forcing them painfully forward and provides a perfect balance of immediate edging performance with less tension, making them ideal for wearing for extended periods of time. Vibram XS GRIP2 is the rubber of choice for the sole unit, recommend for situations that demand the maximum grip. Across the toe box Scarpa has opted for a much softer, stickier rubber compound called M50, not only does it give you more sensitivity and friction for those delicate toe hooks. It also moulds and adapts to the shape of your toes, so with time, you get a much more comfortable and personal fit.
