SCARPA Instinct VS Climbing Shoes for Sport Climbing

A Simple Breakdown

Stiff and Supportive Designed for climbers who need a balanced mix of support and sensitivity, the Instinct VS is slightly softer than its Instinct counterpart. Its thinner sole enhances your feeling of the rock, allowing you to sense small holds more clearly.

Toe Rubber A large patch of rubber on the top provides excellent coverage for toe hooks and bat hangs, ensuring secure holds even when you need to get creative.

Vibram Rubber The XS Edge rubber in the forefoot is stiff enough to support standing on the thinnest edges. Paired with the XS Grip 2 heel rubber, it molds perfectly to heel hooks on all types of rock, enhancing both performance and comfort.

Flexan Dynamic Midsole The redesigned Flexan midsole, slightly stiffer than the upper, offers ample support and reduces foot fatigue during multi-pitch climbs. It balances the softer upper material to optimize comfort and performance.

Bi-Tension Rand With a reverse slingshot design, this system connects your heel to your toe, reducing foot discomfort and directing more power towards your primary edging surface. This results in better performance and less fatigue, making it ideal for extended climbs.

Why Choose the Instinct VS? - Enhanced sensitivity for better hold detection - Secure toe hooks and bat hangs thanks to top rubber - Perfect edge and heel hook support with XS Edge and Grip 2 rubber - Reduced foot fatigue on long climbs - Improved power and comfort with the Flexan Dynamic midsole and Bi-Tension Rand system

This product is perfect for climbers seeking a balanced mix of support and sensitivity, especially for those who need to perform on multi-pitch routes and prefer secure toe and heel holds.
