Scarpa Instinct VS Climbing Shoes for Sport Climbing

Quick & Easy Specs

Stiff and Supportive | Ideal for climbers who require both sensitivity and support, the Instinct VS offers a thinner sole that lets you feel the rock beneath your feet. Slightly softer than the Instinct, it strikes the perfect balance for versatile performance.

Toe Rubber | Large patches of durable rubber on the toe area provide excellent coverage for toe hooks and bat hangs, ensuring secure holds.

Vibram Rubber | Designed for versatile climbing, the XS Edge rubber in the forefoot is stiff enough to support delicate foot placements. Pairing perfectly with the stickier XS Grip 2 heel rubber, it molds to heel hooks on various rock types.

Flexan Dynamic Midsole | Offsetting the softer upper, the redesigned Flexan midsole is slightly stiffer, offering excellent support and reducing foot fatigue on multi-pitch routes. This midsole helps maintain a consistent stance and improves overall stability.

Bi-Tension Rand | Using a reverse slingshot design, this system connects your heel to your toe, reducing foot discomfort and driving more power towards your primary edging surface, enhancing your overall climbing efficiency.
