    Gym and Sport Shoe

    This shoe does excellent on small edges and heel hooking. It is down turned just enough to bridge the gap between extremely aggressive bouldering shoes and flat lasted all day comfy shoes. The velcro system works well after many uses and the shoe maintains its shape and fit after many sessions. This shoe can be resolved and used over and over.

    My outdoor shoe

    This is my main outdoor shoe, mainly due to comfort. have the instinct for indoor and outdoor send attempts. My only which is that it has a less squishy heel. I find that I have the same problem with the instincts.

    Vapor V are a comfortable aggressive shoe

    The Vapor V is comfortable, but aggressive climbing shoe. The downturned toe, stiffness and rubber excels on small foot holds.

    The toebox does not curl any of my toes uncomfortably. I chose these over my other aggressive shoe the La Sportiva Miura V due to the better comfort in the toe box. The 2 velcro strap setup with a flexible band in the middle on the Vapors is easier than the 3 velcor straps on the Miuras. I'm not knocking the Miura's but the Vapors fit my foot better. I find this interesting since I have multiple La Sportiva climbing and hiking footwearl. The only complaint I have is the back of the shoe slightly rubs my achilles but this is solved with socks and is part of the break in period. I have the same achilles rub with all new climbing shoes. I give the Vapor V's the thumbs up and *****
