Expert Opinion

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

Expert Opinion

My partner has been using Vapor Vs for the past 3 years and keeps going back to them every time. These climbing shoes are not only a great next step from flatter beginner shoes, but they can also be used further on your climbing journey. They are stiff ish shoes which means you can use them both indoors and outdoors, the velcro makes it easy to get in and out of them, which you will appreciate between climbs and the shoe tapers enough at the tip to provide stability on next to nothing foot holds. If you go for the appropriate size, this shoe will take a little bit of breaking into and getting used to but through the pain they will make for a great climbing companion.

Fit Tip: Good for a variety of types of feet
