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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Choose at least 1 size larger than your outdoor shoes.

I used to buy shoes from different brands and always bought them the same size as my street shoes. This time I ordered my street shoe size again (9 1/2) and also used the size chart as a reference. When received and fitted the shoes were very tight, had to return and order 1 full size (10 1/2), this time they fit perfectly except for the big toe which still feels tight but I'm sure Once the shoe breaks in use, this problem disappears. I'm giving 4 stars because I haven't used them in the gym yet, but the initial fit feels great (1 size up from my street shoes) and the shoes look and feel good.

Pros
  • Vibram XS Grip 2 Tires | The XS Grip 2 is ideal for any type of rock and style. It's both stiff and sticky, providing much-needed grip on steeper walls and overhanging boulders.
Cons
  • Vulgarity
