Scarpa Vision V Climbing Shoe

Strap on the Scarpa Vision V Rock Climbing Shoes when thin edging and tenuous toe hooks are essential to sending a boulder problem or sport route. While a slightly downturned toe gives the Vision V supreme edging ability, it's the mesh rubber toe top that makes these shoes serious weapons on hatefully steep rock. Crisscrossing VELCRO®-brand fasteners cinch these Scarpa shoes tight with a single pull—put them on in seconds when inspiration strikes and you know a send is imminent.

Bottom Line: One pull of the VELCRO®-brand fasteners and the Scarpa Vision VCS Climbing Shoes are ready to take on the steepest rock you can find.

Incredible shoe!! I took the advice of one of my friends and got them so that they were "toe-pinchingly tight" and after a couple climbs, the shoes stretched out and have been amazing. When buying, buy the size that fits you snugly for the length of your foot because after the shoe has stretched a bit (because it's unlined) if it is too long, even by a hair, they'll be too big to do a decent heel-hook. All-in-all amazing shoe for any climbing (especially bouldering or technical climbing) and is even great for beginners. One of my friends just got some and he loves them too.

hey just got these shoes.. BUt i want to know how tight is too...

hey just got these shoes.. BUt i want to know how tight is too tight? and will they really stretch out? im thinking of going half a size bigger, but if i do ill have to order from europe, so im a bit reluctant.
My feet are really tight. im a 45 or 11US and i bought 42 or US9, the 43/US10 were too loose on the top, so i thought id go tight and take the pain. but now im 2nd guessing... any advice or words of confidence? when will the pain go away?

I wear a 44 normally in street shoes - got the 42s but after wearing for about 10 sessions, I wish I went with the 41.5s or the 41's. Hang in there - they'll stretch... you have to believe!

these shoes are great. while the season hasn't started for me and i haven't had a chance to really test them on rock, i've used them indoors a bit and the edging is great and the toe is sweet. They are a bit tighter around the toes then other scarpas. I don't know about the rubber yet as i haven't had a chance to test them on rock, but it seems pretty solid. the heel is softish, which i personally like (as long as your foot fits snugly in the shoe the heel works great). The Velcro/slipper aspect works great and can be made comfortable while you belay, and can be made super tight for technical climbs.
