Vapor V Climbing Shoe – Men's

Built for climbers who want one shoe that handles sport routes, trad, the gym, and technical face climbing without compromise, the Vapor V is our top pick for all-around performance. The Bi-Tension active rand focuses power at the toe for cleaner edging, while the Vibram XS Edge outsole locks into small holds with confidence. A medium-flex build keeps your feet in the game on longer sessions.

• Vibram XS Edge outsole (3.5 mm) grips small footholds precisely — reliable on technical face climbs and sustained sport routes
• Bi-Tension active rand system channels power to the toe for sharper edging without creating a pressure point across the foot
• Microsuede and leather upper combines controlled stretch with a snug, consistent fit that holds its shape through repeated use
• Dual Velcro closure lets you dial the fit quickly between burns or swap shoes at the base without fussing with laces
• Moderately downturned, slightly asymmetric last covers gym sessions, trad climbing, and sport routes — one shoe, many objectives
