For pushing your limits on steep boulders and sport routes indoors or on rock, Scarpa's Instinct VS-R LV climbing shoes will keep you moving.

Performance

Asymmetry

Low asymmetry climbing shoes are comfortable and distribute load widely but transfer less power. Highly asymmetrical shoes primarily weight the big and index toes to transfer more power. 

Low High

Downturn

Low downturn climbing shoes are supportive, comfortable, and versatile. Highly downturned shoes give less support but better hooking capability and power transfer from heel to toe. 

Low High

Sensitivity

High sensitivity shoes have thinner rubber and let you feel the texture of holds. Low sensitivity shoes give less feedback but are more comfortable on long days. 

Low High

Stiffness

Choose stiff climbing shoes for support on small edges and on long sessions. Choose softer shoes for increased sensitivity and range of movement on holds.

Features

Sock-like fit

Sock-like fit

The sock-like stretch upper keeps your foot comfortable and secure. An extended Y-shape tongue pull tab and Velcro strap closure aid donning and help you perfect the fit.

Rubber toe panel

Extended rubber over the forefoot increases your placement options when toe hooking so you can grip better on overhangs.

Bi-Tension system

Bi-Tension system

Scarpa's Bi-Tension slingshot rand anchors under the toe and connects to the heel. It pulls power from the toes without cramming them forward, enhancing performance while reducing forefoot pressure.
