Scarpa Instinct VS Climbing Shoe Vibram XS Edge

Why We Like The Instinct VS Climbing Shoe

When the angle kicks back and the moves get hard, we trust the Scarpa Instinct VS Climbing Shoe to see us through to the chains. The aggressive downturn and sensitive midsole allow us to toe-in on edges and solution pockets, while the innovative Bi-Tension system provides maximum power in the big toe without excess pain.

Scarpa built the sole with Vibram’s XS Edge at the toe for better precision, and a softer XS Grip 2 at the heel for a secure fit. The microsuede upper has rubber encased over the foot to reduce stretch and increase toe-hooking performance. Plus, the single hook-and-loop strap makes putting them on and taking them off a breeze.
