Description

The updated Vapor is a technical lace-up that provides serious stability and performance. Its supportive midsole and full length Vibram XS Edge feel right at home on vertical to off vertical face climbing and crack climbing. A full-length lace to toe closure systems offers high adjustability and a precision fit. The Vapor's new all leather upper features welded TPU overlays to minimize stitching, increase comfort, eliminate hotspots and to protect from abrasion. A unique dual-density rubber toe patch combines two different rubber densities into a one single piece providing both stiffness and stickiness right where you need it. Our PAF heel system alleviates pressure off of the achilles tendon while standing on dime sized edges in technical terrain.

Gear Junkie Review no rating given just a review

The SCARPA Vapor Lace-Up shares a niche with shoes like La Sportiva’s Katana Lace and TC Pro, and the Five Ten NIAD Lace.  But it offers a thin, 3.5mm sole and a slightly softer, more sensitive feel — for the genre. They are an amazingly light, breathable edging shoe with solid crossover into midsize jamming and slightly overhanging rock, both sport and trad. They were ideal for almost all granite venues, as well as sandstone face-and-crack areas like Eldorado Canyon, Colo. I’ve tended to favor them for middling-hard to hard multipitch climbs, but they are a great cragging boot too. Especially for climbers who like their shoes to flirt with an old-school, full-foot supportive feel but also have a dash of flair and downturn for technical sport climbing.

First, about my testing: I used these shoes for two steady months of mainly granite crack and face climbing, with a couple days of techy limestone, quartzite, and gneiss thrown in to round things out. Throughout this time I also tested the new Katana Lace, a fantastic edging shoe itself, and I often climbed the same pitch twice wearing both pairs. The Katana Lace is stiff, downturned, and, most importantly, has a very pointed and low-profile toe. In Squamish, where I primarily climbed, many of the crags and multi-pitches are vertical or less, which means there are a lot of fun, “hard” routes that have thin, tips-crack cruxes. This is where I began to pick sides in my shoe testing, as, compared to the Katana Lace, the Vapor Lace has a noticeably taller toe profile, which I struggled to slip into 0.2–0.4-sized cracks.
