Today we're going to check out the scarf of a pervy this shoe really bridges the. Gap between beginner and expert shoes and has a great balance of precise fit. Good comfort and all-round performance. The shape features a slightly downturn. Toe and fairly straight but wide forefoot the heel is snug enough for heel hooking and the velcro closure makes them quick and easy to take off between pitches or bolder problems if you're fairly new to. Climbing and you're looking for a one shoe quiver that does bouldering trad and sport climbing equally well this is. Definitely a good contender. You. You.

These are this discovers vapor viii and. This actually the shoot i wore for the hardest track line I've ever done in my life a couple of months ago in canada called the path and the reason i wore these is that if you is I'm climbing. Or something which is like vertical or slightly overhanging these are brilliant. For standing on tiny edges they're. Really comfortable they're easy to get on and off, and they worked perfectly for. What i wanted to use them for so these are a really good shoe for someone who's looking for shoe that does everything you know they want to climb down the wall they want to climb outside they want to get tracked climb you know when you're sport climbing and yet date and. Clouds use these on I'm climbing heat, and so they're pretty handy couple of. Things about them is that they've got this toe patch or the rubber patch on the toe so you can toe hurt with them making crackling with him as well but on the front part of the shoes made out a LOLICA and that's synthetic and it doesn't stretch at all it looks like suede but it's not so the. Cool thing about that is when you put your foot into this like really buy it to fit you know like size-wise i take a. Forty three in normal shoes and i take. These and forty-three as well so i don't go down at all my mountain boots are. Size 44 to give me a bit more space for like ice and mix climbing but yeah they. Don't stretch tall the back parts made out of suede but it's got a slingshot heel on here which really retains the shape of the last and yeah they're. They've got a real narrow heel actually then the new heel is brilliant fits. Really nicely so yeah great shoots. Really good all-rounder actually and yeah you can use them for everything really like.

Hey I'm nathan welcome to the scarpa. Booth so i thought maybe you're here you'd like to see the new model of the vapor so vapor is actually one of our. Most popular climbing shoes mainly because they're very balanced they do a little bit of everything and most people haven't got to the stage where they have three four five pairs of climbing shoes, and they want one climbing shoe that does a little bit of everything they're a seven panel design so most people. Think that the intermediate they're not we've actually got just as many pieces as a drago so and the pattern that. Stitches them is very hard to do it's a very small kicker at the front here you can even see the outline on the shoe and that's because the toe position in vapor is a little bit flatter that's because vapor we really wanted to. Make it an aging and smearing shoe that. Had a good balance between either the first version of the vapor was almost all ever and then the next version of. The vapor was a combination of synthetic and other materials and then the last version of the vapor that we got here is. Synthetic on both sides with a leather at the bottom so the version before i. Had suede leather on the inside here, and we exchanged that from microfiber and. That made the upper a little bit softer as well as we reduce the volume of the tongue and tapered it a little bit so that made the whole shoe a little bit softer, so we put a new plastic insert on the inside and previously. Would have heard that we had flex and plastic inserts we use that a lot from the performance models and the new vapor has a tail and plastic insert and the. Tail is just a little bit stiffer we also extended the plastic up and over the heel so it just gave a little bit more structure to the shoe because changing out the leather for the synthetic softened the upper, and we didn't want to change the characteristic of the shoe very much for climbing we just really wanted to make it a little bit more comfortable and a little less of breaking in period but the same performance one of the other things that you'll notice it's got a excess grip to. Here with two layers so that's something that we previously did on the instinct model and a lot of people really liked it, so we put this onto the model it adds a little bit more labor but it gives the heel the ability to. Change shape and obviously it gives the best rubber for heel hooking on the other side so overall we improved. Basically the characteristics so the. Shoe could break in a little bit faster but in the end the shoe remains on the. Same last with the same shape and just a. Color update and a softening of the upper and a stiffening of the mid sole the vapor woman's and the vapor men's. Are on different lasts so they have. Different rubbers so you'll see this sample prototypes got excess edge it's actually excess group two on the women's and it's excess edge on the men's but. That's not really the biggest difference the biggest difference is the total volume of the shoe so especially in the heel the volume is a lot narrower and more sculptured on the female version than it is on the male i mean a. Lot of people are choosing the shoes off the outside looks it's not what we want. We want them to look inside and climb with the shoe but in the end the velcro. Strap looked a little bit nicer with a little bit of 3d print pulling it out the strapless is the same we did insert. A piece of elastic in the middle here just to kind of keep that flat and keep. A real snug fit because we felt the straps just pulled in two points and the middle point didn't get pulled in enough so that's why the velcro versions. Changed slightly on either side we did a lot of changes on it in the hope that we. Would make it more comfortable but changed nothing about the characteristic of the shoe and you know in the end that meant that we changed the whole mid sole the shape and the plastic so it's its. Probably it is yeah it's a totally. Different shoe with the same characteristic when you climb but um i think it shows that you can't just fit all with one layer and not affect the whole shoot so each layer has an. Effect doesn't matter what you do even just changing the material will change the way it comes out at 2019 and. The price is a moderate increase but i. Think it's marginal five bucks ten. Bucks yeah, so we tried as much as we could to keep the same price but obviously there's a little bit more work especially in the heel it's gone from a single layer here or to a dual layer. Excess grip here so it takes a little. But more work to do that most people. Just don't realize how much work goes into the climbing shoes if you put a relative price on the climbing shoes compared to some of the other shoes that the margins are actually pretty small they take a long time to make and. There's a lot of handwork in them, but we're capped by having the most expensive prices on the market i think people just don't understand how long it takes, and we've got you know 38 of our. 39 models are all made in italy, so we haven't got the alternative of cheaper manufacturing or anything like that.
