REDUCED HEEL VOLUME

PRESSURE ABSORBING FIT (PAF) SYSTEM

2mm XS Grip2 rubber is used to wrap the heel cup in a minimal configuration, providing support, protection and friction while allowing maximum conformability. The DTS Active Rand is “discontinuous” at the Achilles, allowing for a more comfortable fit in this area but still providing dynamic forward pressure to focus power over the big toe.

REDUCED HEEL VOLUME

The different heel volumes and fits featured in the SCARPA climbing collection are a market leading asset. This diagram shows the different shape found between the Instinct and Instinct WMN version. The result is not only a different heel fit, but also more compression in the toe box.

    Great For Technical Footwork

    This shoe has the classic, precise toebox of all Scarpa's Instincts combined with a snug arch fit and narrower heel rand that fits into finicky heel hooks like a dream. I used the Instinct Lace on the crux right heel of Meadowlark Stand when others wouldn't work. The shoe stays stiff throughout the course of its lifetime; I've used it primarily for steep sport climbing and bouldering. I'm a women's street shoe 7 and find the 37s fit perfectly (I like my shoes pretty tight).

    Performance and decent comfort

    For a performance-fit shoe, I find these shockingly comfortable, even for several pitched. Great edging and a soft-enough midsole that they perform well in overhanging terrain. I moved from a 41.5 la sportiva katana lace to these in a 42.5 (they are sized with some toe curl but I could have gone even smaller perhaps). These are a bit softer in the midsole than the Katana Lace but have a relatively similar foot shape (the Katana lace is a bit pointier). I am really happy with these shoes thus far

    My favorite projecting shoe!

    These shoes fit my foot so well and they are so comfortable, it's hard to believe they are an aggressive style! I haven't found a single la sportiva shoe that fits me well, normally I have dead space in the heel. I have a narrow heel and wider toe box and these shoes are perfect for me. My street shoe is a size 7 so I originally got a 38.5. It fit great but was just a little tight and they didn't really stretch out at all. I opted to get a second pair size 39 and they fit like a glove! I absolutely love these shoes on the rock, they are amazing at edging and even better on overhangs!

    Similar to the original Boostic

    This shoe is as close to the original Boostic that I can find in the current Scarpa line. This version of Instinct has a similar fit and feel to that great shoe.

    I’ve always been a stiff shoe fan and this is working great for me. The forefoot seems a bit wider than my old Boostic but it’s nothing negative for me.

    I sized exactly as I did for the original Boostic 44.5. I also have the Vapor lace which I wear in a 44 for comparison.

    If you miss the original Boostic this could fill that void, unless you have a really narrow foot. Ideally Scarpa will bring back the original Boostic, please!

    all round granite

    Perfect for any granite climbing or limestone edges. Precise and stiff for really small footholds but the split sole allows for more technical moves and smearing compared to competitor models. Really good shoe for climbing on small footholds on slabs, vertical or slightly overhang when a lot of bodyweight is put on feet, one of the worst shoes for indoor climbing I've tried.
