Another stalwart of the SCARPA climbing shoe range, the Vapour V LV (Low Volume) is a tried and trusted bastion of the Balanced Performance series. With an impeccable blend of performance, comfort, versatility and durability it’s easy to see why this shoe can be seen everywhere; from indoor boulder gyms to the windswept granite towers of Patagonia. Built around the lower volume FRW last, the Vapour V LV provides a slightly asymmetrical and slightly downturned profile. The microfibre upper and padded air mesh tongue marry perfectly with the opposing Velcro straps, for an instantly comfortable fit and secure heel hold. A full length Flexan midsole partners the Bi-Tension rand system to offer the optimum levels of support. Vibram XS Grip2 rubber adds support, while providing cutting edge traction across a range of surfaces. This iteration of the Vapour V sees a switch from the M70 toe rand - used in its predecessor - to that of the harder, lower stretch Ilga rubber rand seen in the Instinct series. This results in a shoe that holds its toe point, edging precision for longer and provides improved durability. Often mistaken for a mid-range shoe, the modern Vapour’s complex multi-panel (7) construction, precise fit, premium feature set and worldwide fanbase attest to far more!
