The Vapor S is one of their favourite Scarpa shoes: incredibly snug heel and do-it-all construction, not too stiff indoors or too soft outdoors.

The Vapor S is one of their favourite all-round shoes: stiff and precise enough for small edges, soft enough to smear and comfortable.
Has duck feet and finds the Vapor S great.
Had to slice the rubber over the toes of their Vapor S to relieve the crushing; neither soft nor stiff, and wouldn't buy again.
Nearly wore a hole in their Vapor S, which got quite comfy after some time; planning a resole.
The Vapor S has a good toe patch, but as a slipper it slides around the foot when trying to double toe hook.
Found the Vapor S squeezed their toes too much and cut off circulation, though it hugs the foot like a glove.
Wears the Vapor S in a 40.5 comfortably for a few hours.
The Vapor S is nearly perfect for their foot in almost every way, except the heel cup is still too deep for their super shallow heel.
Got the Vapor S hoping it would fix their shallow-heel problem but still has the same heel issue.
Finds the Vapor slippers the best indoor all-around shoes they have used.
Loves their Vapor S slippers for trad: ultra sticky, somewhat stiff, ultra thin for jams and wide enough for their forefoot; confident on gneiss, quartzite and granite.
One lacing part of the Vapor S's new closure system snapped after three uses, and it adjusts less precisely than other systems.
The Vapor S has the best tight heel they've worn and a comfortable toe box.
Uses the Vapor S as their soft shoe; the heel still feels nice after about 10 sessions.
Ordered the Vapor S online as their first shoe, 1.5 sizes below street; within minutes the toe knuckles hurt and the heel pinched hard at the base of the Achilles.
Sized the Vapor S half a size up for a high-volume foot; after stretching it was a little less conforming than they'd like but OK.
Moved from the Veloce to the Vapor S and loves it: noticeably stiffer though still a soft shoe; the size has to be right because the closure isn't great.
