Vapour S
The Vapour S utilises the popular FR last seen in its Velcro sibling, however from here they diverge significantly, with the more dynamic S model being more sensitive and adaptable.
A slightly more forgiving microfibre upper teams up with an M50 hood. This provides the obvious performance benefit of better toe-hooking. Beyond this it also offers greater out-of-the-box comfort and the adaptability to fit more foot shapes, thanks to a great range of elasticity over the harder M70 rubber rand used on the Velcro.
Strong and flexible, the model specific Bi-Tension system in combination with the M50 hood offers excellent sensitivity and precision. Whether you're skipping across volumes or teetering between edges, the Vapour S adapts well to both. The innovative Nano Strap System adds an extra dimension to the slipper category, by offering a minimalist and modular closure option. Crank it in for extra support or just remove if simplicity is your game. A low angled toe profile and sticky rubber hood also makes the Vapour S a useful tool on thin cracks or breaks.
Finally, both men's and women’s versions come with a full length Vibram XS Grip2 outsole and full length 1mm Flexan midsole, for a good blend of support and sensitivity underfoot.
Go beyond crushing… it’s time to Vaporise.
