Instinct VS Rock Climbing Shoes for Sport Climbing and Bouldering

The Instinct VS is a climbing shoe crafted with a moderately downturned profile and moderate asymmetry. Featuring Vibram XS Edge (3.5mm) and Vibram XS Grip 2 (2mm) rubber outsoles, this shoe provides a stiff and supportive feel with added sensitivity, allowing you to feel the rock beneath your feet.

Sizing Advice: While many climbers size down for a performance-oriented fit, most Instinct VS owners recommend downsizing no more than half a size. Climbers with wider feet tend to enjoy the fit, while those with low-volume feet may find the toe box too wide.

The Vibram rubber composition is designed to deliver optimal performance.
