Scarpa Instinct Vs Women's Climbing Sport Shoes

The Scarpa Instincts surprised us by breaking in comfortably, even though they have a toe box that is almost entirely covered in rubber. Their construction caters toward climbers with wide feet, which was a huge plus for our lead tester. The heel cup is one of our favorites for heel hooking, and the bi-tension rand makes them an edging machine. Combining a curved, asymmetrical last with a soft construction and thin sole for enhanced flexibility and sensitivity, the Instinct VS Women's is the cornerstone of our Performance line an all-around shoe that handles a variety of styles at the highest level. The Instinct VS Women's features a modified heel cup to better suit lower volume feet and also utilizes softer and stickier XS Grip 2 rubber.

• Bi-Tension active rand provides maximum toe power
• Vibram XS Grip 2 for a softer, more supple fit and feel
