The Arpia is especially designed for climbers who want to step up to their first high performance shoe. It combines performance with a high
level of comfort provided by a new, medium fit FK last, a perfect all-round model that performs in any situation, from indoor walls to multi-pitch climbs. The slightly down turned and moderately asymmetric shape provides great instant comfort and a full length Dynamic 1.4mm Flexan insole. The Wave-Closure-System enables great adjustability and easy access.

  • Hand constructed heel. The heel construction adapts well to different foot shapes and is wrapped with Vibram® Grip2 rubber for maximum friction and sensitivity.
  • High comfort levels. The upper construction combines 3 panels in Microfiber and a bottom panel in suede. Integral lining for special comfort and durability.
  • Edging Advantage. V-Tension active randing system keeps the shape of the shoe over its life. It holds the forefoot in perfect position and supports the toe area while it allows enough flex for smearing.
  • Support for continuous, demanding footwork. Full length Dynamic Flexan 1.4mm, with extension for heel reinforcement.
  • The perfect balance. Slightly down turned and moderately asymmetric last for a surprisingly relaxed fit. Redefined low volume heel shape. The toe section is designed for a moderate toe curvature

The Vapour V is a performance rock shoe built around the FR last which is the lowest volume of all the range, with a slightly asymmetrical, slightly down turned shape and a medium to low angled toe box to strike a balance between confident smearing and refined toe power. The new microfibre upper and the new tongue marry perfectly with the redesigned Velcro straps for an instantly comfortable fit and secure heel hold. A full length Talyn midsole works with the bi-tension rand system to offer the optimum level of support. Vibram Edge rubber ensures precise edging.

Key Updates

  • New heel construction in microfibre reduces weight and dramatically enhances "next to skin" comfort in the Achilles area.
  • New heel rand construction provides a more stable and higher friction zone for enhanced performance on more loaded heel hooks.
  • Revised toe rand, provides improved comfort and toe hook protection.
  • Revised tongue construction is lighter, more breathable and retains its shape and positioning through the additional elastic in the closure.
