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
  • Low toe profile and low volume shape adapts well to slim feet
  • Works for all climbing disciplines
  • Seven-panel construction with a seamless big toe area and low-profile panels on the other toes, ensuring a precise and customisable fit
  • Upper panels are made of a duel ply Lorenzi microfibre, while the lower panels are suede leather
  • Dual Velcro closure allows for an adjustable and easy fit
  • The Bi-Tension System extends from the toe to the arch, providing high flexibility with optimal tension
  • Full-length Dynamic Flexan insert, extending from heel to toe, for optimal force distribution across the entire foot
  • Vibram® XS Grip2 spread over 2/3 of the length, with a thickness of 3.5mm
  • Can be resoled to extend the life of your climbing shoes. It is best to do this before the wear and tear gets excessive to preserve the performance and prolong the life
