Overview

Scarpa's Vapor V LV climbing shoe balances support and flex for those with slim low-volume feet. With 3.5mm of Vibram XS Grip 2, it is well suited to lighter climbers or those seeking exceptional sensitivity. The two-part sole gives good power transfer between heel and toe and helps on overhangs.

Ideal For

  • Bouldering
  • Indoor Climbing
  • Sport Climbing
  • Trad Climbing

Performance

Asymmetry

Low asymmetry climbing shoes are comfortable and distribute load widely but transfer less power. Highly asymmetrical shoes primarily weight the big and index toes to transfer more power. 

Low High

Downturn

Low downturn climbing shoes are supportive, comfortable, and versatile. Highly downturned shoes give less support but better hooking capability and power transfer from heel to toe. 

Low High

Sensitivity

High sensitivity shoes have thinner rubber and let you feel the texture of holds. Low sensitivity shoes give less feedback but are more comfortable on long days. 

Low High

Stiffness

Choose stiff climbing shoes for support on small edges and on long sessions. Choose softer shoes for increased sensitivity and range of movement on holds.

Extended low-stretch Ilga rubber over the toe provides extra grip when toe hooking.

Bi-Tension system

Bi-Tension system

Scarpa's Bi-Tension slingshot rand anchors under the toe and connects to the heel. It pulls power from the toes without cramming them forward, enhancing performance while reducing forefoot pressure.

Two-part sole

Two-part sole

The two-part sole construction increases midfoot flex to adapt to changing holds and steepness. It also means the shoe can be resoled in sections to reduce waste.
