Scarpa Vapour S

Size: EU 39
 Lagi opsyen pembayaran

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.

    Scarpa Vapour S

    Climbing shoes are such a personal choice, it's hard to listen to reviews as it could be a completely different experience for someone else but here is my thoughts. I'm 72kg, used these on grit & rhyolite so far & have used them on routes from diff to E3.

    I bought these as an option to have something that I thought would be a softer but still supportive & more comfy shoe compared to the Scarpa Instincts and Vapour V. I did a fair bit of research & being experienced with downsizing, I decided to downsize by 1.5 sizes from my street shoe size. Initially, they were pretty painful but after a good week of wearing them round the house and warm up climbs, they are reasonably comfy. I haven't owned them long enough to decide whether I'd only go down by 1 size next time as they do feel fairly soft.

    I wanted a shoe with that same incredible Scarpa quality that could potentially rival the Unparallel up lace comfort with a good blend of smearing ability & edging. It's only been 3 weeks but I find these shoes too soft for me for trad climbing. Their smearing ability is amazing but I just find my feet a bit tired after being on a route for a while & that's just single pitch trad.

    Pros - amazing quality, very good sensitivity, really comfy, fits my wide forefoot/narrow heel/duck feet
    Cons - too soft for trad or edgy routes in my opinion, I found the Instinct VSR to offer more support which has the same rubber & only a 3/4 length midsole.

    Think these would be a good bouldering / board shoe / indoor shoe if you want something even comfier than the Instinct range.

    The perfect allround climbing shoe?

    These are tight on my feet and very comfortable at the same time. They have been great on overhangs and slabs, and should be great in cracks. I have other climbing shoes, but these might be the only ones I actually need.
