Closeouts. Head to the rock wall or the gym with Scarpa's Vision climbing shoe, and you won't be disappointed with this shoe's aggressive performance and high-friction Vibram® XSgrip rubber outsole.

I didn't actually get a chance to use the shoes. But, once they arrived and I tried them on ..well it just wasn't what I wanted. The shoes pucker on the sides and just felt too big for me.

Pretty good for intermediate to advanced level climbers. Easy to get on and off fast with the velcro and still allows for some adjustment. I was looking for a comfortable pair of shoes to mess around in so i only got half a size down(43 and i normally wear 10.5 street shoes). They are a little wide on me but i have narrow feet. However the toes are still tight and good.

These shoes are very well made and great for most types of climbing. They fit well, are easy to get on and off and have just enough down turn in the toe to make them good for everything from slabs to steep bouldering. Scarpas are made in Italy and I think it makes a world of difference. Vibram rubber can't be beat!

I do my gym climbing several days a week in these. Normally I get a hole in my toe rand after about 4 months. But I can't even remember when I got these...over a year ago and the rubber is only beginning to wear. I'm shocked. I usually wear (i'm female) a 38.5/39 in climbing shoes (8.5 street shoe) and these are true to that rule. Comfy as climbing shoes can be, I probably could have gone tighter. Slighty cambered but not as aggressive as most steep or bouldering shoes.

I am a woman with a small wide foot (street size 36-37) so I decided on the men's Vision for its wider fit.
I am really pleased with the shape and width, and the heel space is minimal compared with other shoes that fit my width.
I have tried the scarpa 'force' in the same size (36) and it was a bit more comfortable (would have needed a 35 i think) but is very flat . Comparatively I think the Vision could have gone to a 35&1/2 and had room to stretch (but I was cramping after a long session so maybe not).
I have tried the Scarpa 'Stix' (36) which was VERY aggressive, tight and uncomfortable in width but had too much room on the sides of the heels.
The Scarpa 'Instinct' slipper in a 37 was a comparable fit and shape to the Vision but lacked the adjustability.
The down turn of the Vision is great - not too exaggerated but suitable for the levels I am climbing (23-24 Australian).
There are 2 velcro straps at different angles which cover most of the foot and the side attached tongue makes for a very sturdy overlap.
It was slippery the first couple of climbs outdoor but started to get better friction by the 5th or 6th climb. The sensitivity wasn't as good as I expected but I think it will improve with wear. The sole is quite flexible but there is good arch support so I think it will be solid for thin edges (once the sensitivity is better)
I am confident it will mold to my foot well, though I anticipate it stretching over time.
