Scarpa Vapour Lace Climbing Shoes
The re-designed Vapour offers supportive edging with versatility aimed at more technical outdoor routes. A slightly downturned shape and a medium to low-angled toe box result in a well-balanced shoe that offers great performance in all climbing styles.
Multi-Panel Upper
Constructed using a dual-ply Lorenzi microfibre, the Scarpa Vapour Lace Climbing Shoes are a low-volume favourite worthy for all climbing disciplines. Designed to provide the right amount of flexibility and support, the upper conforms to the shape of the foot yet, retains its elasticity for a better, more supportive fit. The microfibre upper ensures the shoes hold their shape whilst leather panels wrap the toes and base of the foot and TPU laminate limits stretch and provides lacing support. D2 rubber seamlessly joins softer M50 rubber over the toes with a more supportive rubber around the front of the foot. This helps to increase comfort and provide better toe precision. An innovative PAF heel system helps spread the force of the heel tension, which also helps with over-compression of the toe box, and increases the fit of the heel. The aggressive tension rubber is interrupted behind the heel to reduce pressure on the Achilles tendon and connected with softer rubber, that works like a bridge and allows full adaption to the shape of the heel. Lastly, an innovative closure system ensures a locked-down fit for added midfoot support.
Full-Length Vibram XS Edge Arch Supporting Sole
A BI Tension randing system features that actively pulls power from the toes, rather than cramming your toes painfully forward, giving immediate performance with less tension, which means less rubber, making your shoes lighter, more sensitive and more reactive. Developed using a Vibram XS Edge outsole, the Vapour Lace Climbing Shoes ensure maximum support whether you're outdoor, indoor or lead climbing. This specialist outsole allows you to focus your weight on the tiniest of holds and keeps its shape in tough conditions. A truly robust outsole, the XS Edge can endure repeated abuse in hot and cold weather conditions giving you a shoe that can truly perform in all weather conditions. The rigid nature of the outsole supports you during any climb by adapting to the ground below you and bearing your weight as you move from rock type to rock type. The superior rigidness of this shoe is counterbalanced by adaptability and sensitivity. The outsole allows for a more natural feel ensuring you can detect rocks beneath your feet for a barefoot experience. The increase in ground feel allows you to adapt to different terrain so you can ensure hold at all times.
