I picked up a pair of the Vapor LVs about 6 months ago and have been super pleased with them. The downturn in the toe isn't too aggressive making it a great option if you're wanting a step up from a flatter shoe. I have a B width foot and wear an EU42 so the Low Volume option was perfect for getting a snug fit in the heel - though I do find there's a bit of a pressure point where the rubber is welded together on the outer sides of the shoes. The break-in process was not too grueling, and they stretched about 1/2 a size as expected so there's no need to downsize too much from your regular size. At the end of the day the Vapors are a great option for anyone wanting to try a variety of climbing styles both indoors and outdoors!

Fit tip:

True to size, not overly wide or narrow
