Scarpa Vapour Lace WMN Rock Climbing Shoe

About the Scarpa Vapour Lace WMN

If you are looking to step up your game at the bouldering wall or some nice overhanging routes the Vapour Laces are the shoe for you. The Vapour has an aggressive curvature and utilises a Bi-tension active rand system which focuses power on the toes, giving immediate controlled performance. To improve the Vapour from previous models, Scarpa have changed the aesthetics, added a rubber toe patch and improved the heel fit to make this popular lace up shoe even better. The Vibram XS Edge provides excellent edging support with added firmness for comfort. The Lace is a stiffer, more supportive version of the popular velcro version of this climbing shoe, and is also slightly narrower with a lower volume design than its strap counterpart.

For absolute precision and all day comfort, these shoes are a tried and tested serious contender.

More info on the Bi Tension rand from Scarpa:
Basically, a reverse slingshot rand that’s anchored under the critical toe area and connects directly to the heel rand, only there’s nothing basic about it. The patent-pending system actively pulls power from the toes, rather than cramming your toes painfully forward, giving immediate performance with less tension. And that means less rubber, making your shoes lighter, more sensitive and more reactive.
