Scarpa Vapour V

The Scarpa Vapour V is a cornerstone of the Balanced Performance series, trusted by climbers around the world for its perfect blend of performance, comfort, versatility, and durability. From indoor boulder gyms to the windswept granite towers of Patagonia, the Vapour V delivers reliable support and precision for every climbing scenario.

Built on the low-volume FR last, the Vapour V features a slightly asymmetrical, moderately downturned profile that provides both comfort and performance. The multi-panel microfiber upper and padded air mesh tongue work seamlessly with dual Velcro straps, ensuring a snug fit and secure heel hold right out of the box.

A full-length Flexan midsole paired with Scarpa’s Bi-Tension rand system delivers optimum support underfoot, while the Vibram XS Edge rubber outsole guarantees precise edging and long-lasting durability. This iteration replaces the previous M70 toe rand with the stiffer, low-stretch Ilga rubber rand from the Instinct series, improving toe-point stability, edging precision, and overall durability.

Despite its reputation as a mid-range shoe, the Scarpa Vapour V’s advanced multi-panel construction, premium materials, and precise fit demonstrate that it’s a high-performance climbing tool suitable for serious climbers.
