Schoenen Instinct S zwart-azure-40,5 SCARPA

The Scarpa Instinct S is a high-performance climbing shoe built for steep sport routes, bouldering, and gym climbing. Its slipper design with a single Velcro strap delivers a precise, glove-like fit that excels on overhanging terrain and tiny footholds.

Advantages

The moderately downturned profile and aggressive, pointed toe box concentrate power on the big toe for maximum edging precision. The Bi-Tension active randing system maintains tension from toe to heel, providing exceptional support and sensitivity. A Vibram XS Grip 2 outsole (3.5 mm) offers outstanding friction on both rock and plastic, while the Flexan 1.0 midsole balances stiffness and feel. The unlined microfiber upper conforms to your foot over time, ensuring a custom fit without stretching out.
