SCARPA Men's Vapor S Rock Climbing Shoes for Sport Climbing and Bouldering

SCARPA's men's Vapor S is a slip-on version of the Vapor for sport climbing and bouldering with a sensitive, snug fit.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Slip-on construction feels sensitive and is quick to remove at the belay
  • + Vapor shape balances downturn with comfort for longer sport pitches
  • + Handles gym bouldering and outdoor sport routes equally well

Trade-offs

  • - Slipper fit loosens as it stretches, which you cannot compensate for
  • - Men's last may be too high-volume for narrow feet
