First off, I'm an avid climber. I climb outdoors in the summer and plastic during winter months about 3 to 5 times a week. I go through climbing shoes pretty quickly and I've tried quite a few. I wouldn't say that I'm a big Scarpa girl, but I've owned the Rockettes prior to getting the Vapor Vs. Those were my favorite shoes by far for bouldering and project climbs and they worked amazing. While both are made by the same company, the Vapor Vs is a total departure in design and performace from the Rockettes. The Rockettes were designed by Heinz Merriacher, the same guy that designed the La Sportiva Testarossas which is the most expensive (and arguably the best performing) shoe in the La Sportiva line. This meant for an all business no fun (less comfort) shoe, while the Vapor Vs are all about the comfort. These shoes are designed to be a comfortable all-arounder that performs well on plastic as well as real rock. The lorica and suede upper on these shoes are amazingly comfortable, by far the most comfortable on any shoe I've ever owned. The slight down turn is awesome for tiny foot holds and the xs grip 2 is super sticky that even a novice climber would not have an excuse but send her project.Overall, I am very happy with these shoes. If I were to point out complaints about them, there would only be 2 things that I think could use improving. 1st is the rubbing on the back heel which may be caused by too much material on the back of the shoe; and 2) would be the sizing. I found that the sizing on the Vapor Vs were about a full size smaller than most shoes, hence I had to go for my actual shoe size and get these at a 7 U.S./38 EU. I wear a street shoe size 38- 38.5 and usually order climbing shoes tight. I wear a 5.10 anasazi LV at size 6.5, La Sportiva Miura women's vs at 36, Cobras at 35.5, and the Rockettes at a size 37. The Vapor Vs fit differently from the Rockettes that I had to size up a full size from what I normally wear in Scarpas which is a 38 EU/7 U.S. If your on the hunt for a good all around climbing shoe for indoor, outdoor, bouldering---just a good reliable all around shoe, look no further!
