Small edges and nasty smears are nothing these shoes can't handle. The updated Vapor V has a slightly stiffer midsole than previous, providing a supportive platform for hard face and crack climbs. Scarpa's Bi-Tension system pulls power back from your toes rather than cramming your foot painfully forward, so you get more power with less tension on your foot.
