INSTINCT VSR
- : In Stock
- : SCARPA
The Scarpa Instinct VSR is a versatile climbing shoe built for expert climbers who want sensitivity and precision on top-level routes and boulders. Its slightly asymmetric last with medium downturn, combined with the Vibram® XS Grip2 outsole, delivers excellent grip and a direct feel of the rock or resin.
Downturned last and Bi-Tension system
The slightly asymmetric, downturned shape with a medium angled toe box pairs with the Bi-Tension system, which extends from the toe to the arch for high flexibility with optimal tension.
Mixed microfibre and leather upper
The upper combines microfibre and leather across 6 panels: microfibre in the upper section adds adaptability and comfort over the instep, while leather in the lower section provides greater stability and support. The floating Velcro strap enhances fit and power transmission.
Vibram® XS Grip2 outsole across the whole contact area
The 3.5 mm Vibram® XS Grip2 outsole spans the front half of the foot, paired with a 2 mm hand-crafted heel in the same compound for maximum grip on heel hooks. The 1 mm Flexan midsole distributes force across the foot while keeping flexibility at the rear.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
- Bi-Tension: Rubber that wraps the foot along both sides of the shoe, providing support without compromising sensitivity. Fits slightly asymmetrical models particularly well, extending from toe to heel while leaving the middle free for more sensitivity.
- Flexan midsole: 1 mm insert distributing force across the entire foot and allowing excellent flexibility at the rear of the shoe.
- Vibram® XS Grip2: Evolution of the Vibram® XS Grip compound, with improved grip and compactness, ideal for edging on moderately inclined holds with consistent performance across temperatures.
- Toe-hook patch: Rubber on the toe specifically designed to catch the foot during toe-hooks.
- Resoleable: Can be resoled at official Scarpa resole centres, extending the shoe's lifespan.
