Scarpa Vapor Climbing Shoe

Why We Like The Vapor Climbing Shoe

Engineered with heady vertical terrain and thin cracks in mind, the Vapor Climbing Shoe keeps us on the wall without cramping our style or toes. The Bi-Tension rand boosts our forefoot's precision when cruising micro jibs, while the Flexan midsole adds a layer of stability. Meanwhile, the sole's rubber is flexible enough to confidently smear on sketchy slab.

Vapor Lace design Flaw

Familiarity:: I've used it several times

I purchased Scarpa Vapor climbing shoes for the first time recently. I was initially very impressed with the shoes. They were comfortable out of the box and performed exceptionally. However, I only used them a handful of times and they already have a hole in the toe through the leather. Generally, I have been able to get several months of use from my climbing shoes and am able to resole them a few times before the wear is too damaged. It seems that the Vapor has a design flaw in that the toe rand comes to a narrow point with a small gap in the rubber where the leather is exposed. I contacted Scarpa warranty directly but they did not stand behind their product. Very disappointing.
