SCARPA Instinct VS Climbing Shoes for Sport Climbing and Bouldering

Product Details

This item is made of 100% textile fabric and is recommended to be machine washed. The sole material is Vibram XS Edge (3.5mm) & Vibram XS Grip 2 (2mm). It is imported and comes in EU Size: 38 – US Size: 5.5-6 for men with a wider fit. It is suggested to size down half a size from your street shoe size for the best fit.

About This Item

The Instinct VS is stiff and supportive, slightly softer than the Instinct, with a thinner sole for added sensitivity while climbing. Most climbers recommend downsizing no more than half a size for a performance-oriented fit. Climbers with wider feet tend to enjoy the fit, whereas climbers with low-volume feet may find the toe-box too wide.

Features

The Vibram rubber used in the forefoot of the shoe is stiff enough to stand on thin edges, while the stickier XS Grip 2 rubber in the heel molds perfectly for heel hooks on any rock type. The toe rubber provides maximum coverage for toe hooks and bat hangs. The slipper design is tuned up with a single strap and Vibram XS Edge rubber to resist deformation when standing on micro-flakes and edges.
