Scarpa Instinct SR Climbing Shoes

The Scarpa Instinct SR is the updated version of the popular Instinct S climbing shoe. This model includes a larger area of toe rubber and a new heel, both of which feature the ultra-sticky M50 rubber, and a half-length Flexan 1.0mm midsole to enhance flexibility.

Microfibre Upper

Constructed using a microfibre upper, the Scarpa Instinct SR Climbing Shoes are worthy of any outdoor adventure. Designed to provide the right amount of flexibility and support, the upper conforms to the shape of the foot yet, retains its elasticity for a better, more supportive fit. The microfibre upper ensures the shoes hold their shape for long that other leather equivalents plus, its soft on the skin for complete comfort. The heel is bonded directly to the outsole meaning you get the same level of support and durability in the heel as you do in the outsole. The M50 rubber in the heel protects you from knocks whilst heel stitching is effective in relieving pressure on the Achilles tendon for added comfort. Added protection also comes from the rubber toe cap which protects the toes from knocks and scrapes and, ribbed to support secure toe hooking.

Flexan Midsole

The midsole of the Scarpa Instinct SR Climbing Shoes is specially designed to ensure maximum support with added flex. The Flexan midsole ensures a level of support that doesn't compromise on weight. Added flexibility in the rearfoot makes for great smearing whilst added support in the forefoot allows you to cling on to the smallest footholds. The midsole actively spreads the force for sustained periods on technical face climbs. The Vapour Lace is moderately downturned to allow your feet to form a position that's best for climbing. A Bi-Tension randing system also features which actively pulls power from the toes, rather than cramming your toes painfully forward, giving immediate performance with less tension, which means less rubber, making your shoes lighter, more sensitive and more reactive.

Vibram XS Grip2 Outsole

Developed using a Vibram XS Grip2 Outsole, the Instinct SR Climbing Shoes ensure maximum support whether you're outdoor, indoor or lead climbing. This specialist outsole allows you to focus your weight on the tiniest of holds and keeps its shape in tough conditions. A truly robust outsole, the XS Grip2 can endure repeated abuse in hot and cold weather conditions giving you a shoe that can truly perform in all weather conditions. The rigid nature of the outsole supports you during any climb by adapting to the ground below you and bearing your weight as you move from rock type to rock type. The superior rigidness of this shoe is counterbalanced by adaptability and sensitivity. The outsole allows for a more natural feel ensuring you can detect rocks beneath your feet for a barefoot experience. The increase in ground feel allows you to adapt to different terrain so you can ensure hold at all times.
