Review on SCARPA Instinct VS: The Ultimate Rock Climbing Shoes for Sport Climbing and Bouldering by Jermaine Krishnamoorthy

To get started; I love climbing shoes with an aggressive tip. It's AGGRESSIVE. I started with Mad Rock Demons because of their aggressive toe and heel design and then switched to Mugens but broke my toe after 4-6 months (indoor climbing). Then I went outside for the first time and completely destroyed my Mugens. My friend recommended Scarpa and told me about the 1 year guarantee. Considering the price I will probably wreck these guys within a year and buy another pair under warranty so you get 2 pairs of GREAT boots. And it's great. I wore an 8.5 in Mad Rock and got a 41.5 in these. IF I was in a store I would choose the 42 as they are a little tight; But then again I have a long middle finger and they are new and I'm too lazy to send them back. They're not painful, but I won't walk in them much. All of this suggests that my old shoes are just about to be thrown out of the water. I'm very impressed and the added middle toe lube pad came in handy when sliding down balance routes. buy you.
