Scarpa - Instinct VSR LV - Black/Violet/Milk - Climbing Shoes

• Best for:
  • Bouldering
  • Indoor climbing
  • Sport climbing

Why we love it

The Instinct VSR LV is the softest and narrowest model in the Instinct family – a more dynamic option introduced for climbers who found previous Instinct models too spacious or lacking in sensitivity. That dynamic feel comes from reducing the tension in the Bi-Tension™ randing, paired with the lowest-volume fit in the series – even lower than the Instinct VS Women's – with a deeper, narrower toe box and lower instep. The Vibram® XS Grip 2 sole delivers outstanding grip on small edges, smears, and pockets, while the tensioned heel gives unrivalled hooking performance. A strong choice for indoor climbing and technical footwork where every millimetre counts.
