Instinct VS
The Scarpa Instinct VS combines the features of the Instinct Slipper and Instinct Lace to form an incredibly versatile and technical shoe.
Built around the same aggressive last as the rest of the Instinct family to provide high levels of sensitivity and accurate foot placements. The Instinct VS sits somewhere between the slipper and lace-up in terms of stiffness making for a great all round performer.
The upper has been made from Lorica, this means you can expect great flexibility and durability but also a shoe which will hold its shape better than leather equivalents. The use of Vibram XS Edge 2 rubber means that the VS will stay put on the smallest of edges but will also last for a decent amount of time. Scarpas Bi-Tension technology has also been implemented to connect the heel to the toe in order to keep power focused towards your toes and also to maintain performance over the life of the shoe.
Lastly, the Instinct VS unsurprisingly feature a velcro strap in order to keep your foot in the shoe when heel hooking.

How I choose the correct size?
All climbing shoe models fit differently. We put together our 'shoeculator' to help you find the right size in a new model, compared to your old climbing shoes or street shoes.
This sizing advice is based on two pairs of brand new shoes. Leather shoes tend to stretch more than synthetic shoes. When switching from synthetic to leather you may want to select a smaller size.
