"These are best climbing shoes I have ever owned!"
12/30/12
The Scarpa vapors are great aggressive climbing shoes. The heels fit tightly and are great for heel hooking. My feet are fairly narrow so I love that these lace up for a tight fit. I normally size down for climbing shoes but for these I bought my street size and they fit very tightly, I could not have sized down any more. The only down side is that at first they are very uncomfortable and the break in time is quite long, but after a few weeks they became perfectly formed to my feet. I have used these both inside and out for the past year, and they have provided the best performance of any shoe I have owned, and have held up well. I definitely would recommend these shoes!
This is my first pair of rock climbing shoes so it was a little hard to get the size right, but once I did they were great. They are great for overhangs and stick like glue. They also look like the picture some shoes aren't true to what you see on the Internet I have come to find out. Overall a great shoe!
I bought this shoe because I needed something a little more aggressive than my Anasazis for bouldering this past season. I was drawn to them because I thought they looked like a space ship. =]They do. They're awesome. I love the color with the silver accents. They fit my skinny, low-volume foot snug and great, but did rub on the backs of my heels a bit until I wore them in. They won't stretch too much. They're actually pretty stiff. My only complaint is how stiff the bottoms are. I can't feel through them at all, which can be good and bad: great for heel hooking, bad for when I'm not paying attention to what I'm doing with my feet (oops!) I'd recommend as long as you size them right.
