Product description
Bouldering and climbing shoes for the highest demands
The Instinct VS from Scarpa are true classics. These performance shoes are ideal for technically demanding bouldering and shorter sport climbing routes. Their speciality: foothold precision and hooks. Whether in the bouldering hall or out on the rocks, these are shoes for the toughest of projects.
Construction
The shoes boast an asymmetrical last and a medium downturn with an aggressive tip. As a result, they offer a fantastic balance of power transfer, flexibility and precision - perfect for versatile and demanding climbing and bouldering routes. Plus, the compact heel area in combination with the large, textured toe cap provides excellent hooking qualities. The microfibre and synthetic leather upper hugs your foot like a glove and is extremely durable. Meanwhile, the midsole, a Flexan insert, supports your feet especially well when standing on smaller footholds. The special rubber Vibram XS Edge sole is relatively stiff and is sure to impress with its excellent edging stability.
Fit
In addition, the shoes feature a rather narrow heel area and a relatively wide forefoot area with a moderate toe box, which makes them suitable for slightly wider feet with greater volume. Scarpa recommends the shoes especially for those with a Greek foot shape, i.e. with a long second toe.
Conclusion
The Instinct VS are powerful all-rounders for technically demanding bouldering and tough sport climbing. They offer enough stability and precision for even the smallest footholds and steepest overhangs. On the other hand, they are less suitable for multi-pitch climbs, as the tight fit can cause pain when worn for long periods of time.
