Review on Scarpa Instinct VS Climbing Black by Tony Kingdom

Revainrating 5 out of 5

First aggressive shoe - fits street size - love it

I've been a climber for a year and I've changed now - lots of gym time here in Atlanta at Stone Summit + outside - Eastern Sierra, Joshua Tree, Red Rocks (Vegas) ) and sandstone SE around Chatta. Mythos is my outdoor shoe, I use La Sportiva Oxygyms for the plastic. Leading indoor shoe 10/TR 11, now I wanted something more aggressive and was very satisfied (3 sessions). I ordered 43 (US 10) and 42.5 (US 9.5). 42.5 Oxyhim. The 43's fit perfectly, hurt a lot but I was able to get back on my feet! The shoes seem to get used to my foot and vice versa. 42.5 returned to Revain, too small for my foot. Obviously the performance is much better than the oxygyms.
