The Scarpa Instinct VS is the climbing shoe for precise edging and aggressive hooking, designed for experienced climbers who demand maximum precision and sensitivity in sport climbing and bouldering. The mixed microfibre and leather upper is built from six separate pieces: microfibre across the top of the foot provides adaptability and comfort, while leather in the lower section gives stability and support. The asymmetric cut with pronounced downturn channels power precisely onto the big toe.
Bi-Tension Active Randing runs tensioned rubber along both sides of the shoe to the heel and maintains tension under the toes through the arch, for powerful edging combined with high midfoot sensitivity. In the forefoot the 3.5 mm Vibram XS Edge sole distributes force precisely onto minimal footholds, while 2 mm XS Grip 2 at the heel delivers maximum grip when hooking. A 1 mm Flexan insert spreads force across the forefoot and keeps the rear flexible. The velcro closure makes it quick to take the shoes on and off between attempts.
