Description
The softest shoe in SCARPA's beloved Instinct line, the new Instinct S Climbing Shoe is a versatile, high-performance slipper that excels in the gym and on steep outdoor boulders, too. While the Instinct S is flexible, it features our proprietary CTS Technology—a combination of tension rubber down the length of the shoe and softer rubber in the toe area—delivering the kind of strength and precision you'd expect from a stiffer shoe. The microfiber upper is reinforced with elastic so this pair is easy to get on and off in between burns but won't stretch out and feel sloppy over time. Extra rubber on top of the toe and on the heel cup means you can bat hang, toe cam, and heel hook with the utmost confidence, whether you're flashing a comp-style problem at the gym or sending your project in Hueco.
