Description

The Arpia V is a versatile shoe suited for both indoor and outdoor climbing. Made with a soft supple upper and full sticky rubber coverage over the toes, the spot can be sized tightly for performance but remains comfortable. The slightly downturned and slightly asymmetrical shape offers an immediate and natural fit. The Arpia V also features double Velcro straps for quick and easy closure.

  • Soft Touch Microfiber, a super supple microfiber and soft touch upper provides instant comfort and increases sensitivity
  • Our stickiest rubber covers large portion of the toe box to high friction and extra comfort
  • Vibram® XS Grip2 outsole provides great combination of support and friction
  • Dual opposing Velcro straps (wider strap on top) provide a large secure closure while a stretchy, breathable tongue increases comfort and fit
  • TA-Tension provides the benefits of a dynamic tension system without adding an extra layer under the key toe tip positions

Climbing Gear Review no rating given just a review

I’m not a particularly light climber, so sometimes, even when bouldering, I feel like I need a stiff shoe that’s not going to bend under the arch. And while the Arpia V’s toe hooking capabilities leave much to be desired (they’re just not meant for it), the shoe has nonetheless played an important role in my indoor board climbing quiver. Every time an indoor boulder requires something stiff, I’ll grab the Arpia rather than waste a half minute finagling my foot into and then lacing up the Sigma. On a steep but very foot-intensive boulder in Great Barrington, for instance, I found my no-edge La Sportiva Futuras far too soft to press powerfully into a small foothold on a required kneebar—but the Arpia was perfect.

If you know of a good product video that should be here, let us know, and we'll put it up.
