INSTINCT VSR LV
Regular price
$249.00 CAD
For climbers with lower-volume feet who rely on precise footwork, the Instinct VSR LV delivers the grip and support needed to stay on the wall. Designed for lower-volume feet, the Instinct VSR LV blends a locked-in fit with the adaptable sensitivity the Instinct family is known for. The synthetic microsuede upper maintains shape while allowing subtle foot articulation, and the refined Bi-Tension™ system supports the forefoot without sacrificing flexibility. Underfoot, Vibram® XS Grip 2 rubber delivers the top-tier friction needed for smears, toe-hooks, and tenuous micro-feet. A sculpted downturn and tensioned heel ensure stability on overhangs, while the low-volume design enhances control on small footholds and precise placements.
Whether you're projecting steep limestone or working techy bloc sequences, the Instinct VSR LV offers confidence where every millimeter counts.
- Microsuede upper provides a close, low-stretch fit that adapts to lower-volume feet.
- Bi-Tension™ active support system delivers powerful forefoot engagement without reducing sensitivity.
- Vibram® XS Grip 2 outsole ensures elite friction and security on rock and resin.
- Moderately downturned shape drives precision on steep terrain and overhanging sequences.
- Highly textured, sewn-in toe patch for increased friction and durability.
The Instinct VSR LV provides high-friction confidence and precision power for steep boulders and technical sport climbs.

- MHMatty H.Verified ReviewerReviewingINSTINCT VSR LVI recommend this productBought For Sport Climbing, BoulderingRated 5 out of 5 starsJune 2, 2025New Favorite
The Instinct VSR LV takes the top spot as my new favorite Scarpa shoe. Feels very similar to the VSR but with a more snug fit and higher sensitivity. Great for all styles of climbing, and very reliable on various types of rock. It will quickly become the shoe that you will want to take good care of and break out for that send go.
- JJoshReviewingINSTINCT VSR LVI recommend this productBought For Bouldering, Gym, Sport ClimbingRated 5 out of 5 starsApril 11, 2025The perfect fit
The instinct VSR is the best shoe on the market and the LV is a great addition to the line up. If you have slightly smaller feet this shoe will hug you in all the right places.
- LRLucie R.Verified ReviewerReviewingINSTINCT VSR LVI recommend this productBought For Bouldering, Sport ClimbingRated 5 out of 5 starsApril 1, 2025Sensitivity meets structure
I loved the toe rubber and structure of the Instinct VS, but wanted more sensitivity for better rock feel. I loved the sensitivity of the Drago, but wanted more structure for less foot fatigue. The VSR meets me right in the middle! Huge fan of this shoe; it's comfortably snug right out of the box and the rubber responds to the rock well without the frustrating break-in period I've come to expect from other shoes that feel overly slick for the first several uses. I'll be using this as my main steep bouldering shoe, and could even see it becoming an all-arounder for sport as well.

The shoes are great and work as intended however the pair I purchased is too small even after break in. I went with an identical size from a different Scarpa shoe thinking jt would match, but did not. Definitely recommend trying these on in person before purchasing. Other than that, great climbing shoes.
