A model from the Instinct family is an essential part of any climbing gear, as these climbing shoes are suitable for both indoor and outdoor bouldering, sport climbing, and multi-pitch routes. They are characterized by excellent hooking properties and a secure fit. The Instinct VS features an upper made of microfiber and leather, constructed from six pieces. These are stitched together in such a way that the shape perfectly conforms to the foot without causing pressure points. The Bi-Tension system in the midfoot area provides an optimal balance between support and flexibility. The midsole, a Flexan insert, supports the foot when standing on small footholds. The moderately asymmetrical shape of the shoe, the medium downturn, and the moderate toe box ensure precise power transfer and accuracy at the tip. The Vibram XS Grip2 rubber layer at the heel and the toe patch in the toe area guarantee exceptional hooking properties. The supportive Vibram XS Edge outsole rubber is grippy and offers good support for small footholds.
