Slightly downturned intermediate climbing shoe with VS rubber and velcro closure
ABest Intermediate Shoe
The Scarpa Instinct VS (Velcro Strap) is the shoe where intermediate climbers break into performance territory. The slight downturn, pointed toe box, and 3.5mm VS rubber deliver noticeably more precision on small holds without the extreme discomfort of aggressively asymmetric competition shoes. The Velcro closure allows quick adjustment between routes. Works on both indoor and outdoor terrain. Good for lead climbing and bouldering at V4-V8 / 5.10-5.12. The rubber life is reasonable with moderate use. A meaningful step up from neutral shoes for climbers who've been climbing 6-18 months.
