Critically aclaimed and award winning, the vapor family is a perfect way to breathe newe life into your climbing day. Quite often, improvimng climbers don't want to stray too far from tried and tested shoes, but increasingly they want to experiment on different types of terrain. Scarpa appreciates the opportunities that alternative versions of shoes with similar basic designs can unlock. The single piece synthetic upper promotes a new concept in comfort, and minimal stiching eliminates "hot spots". the full length outsole and increased stiffness are matched with vibram xs edge rubber to offer the most supportive lace up in the entire climbing collection. The vapor lace is built on the same last and utilizes the same active rand as the vapor v, complimenting its softer relative exremely well. Innovation and tradition share equally deep roots at SCARPA, a muti-generational, family-owned business whose headquarters and manufacturing facilities are in the same region of northern Italy where it was founded in 1938. SCARPA builds performance footwear for climbing, hiking, skiing, mountaineering, trail-running and other outdoor pursuits. Aside from being the Italian word for "shoe," SCARPA is an acronym for Societa Calzaturiera Asolana Riunita Pedemontana Anonima (Associated Shoe Manufacturing Company of the Asolo Mountain Area).
