SCARPA builds performance footwear for climbing, hiking, skiing, mountaineering, trail-running and other outdoor pursuits.

    3.0 out of 5 starsGreat shoes....though durability issue
    By merhardt on February 7, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I've climbed in these shoes for two weeks now and they are the best fitting and most sensitive shoes I've ever climbed in. Prior to these shoes I climbed in the Mago's and Boosters. Personally, these shoes beat them hands down. The heel is significantly better and the increase in sensitivity is quite noticeable. They offer the perfect balance between stiff edging power and ultimate sensitivity. I sized them a half size down from the Mago's/Booster's and they fit perfectly. They aren't quite as aggressive as both the Mago's and Boosters, but are more than aggressive enough to handle the toughest of roofs or overhangs.

    But then why only four stars you ask? Well I just got back from my first outdoor trip(one day) with them. While they performed fantastically, I could stand on the tiniest of holds confidently, the toe patch rubber was seriously peeling off the top by the end of the day. I could understand the longevity of these shoes being compromised eventually due to the soles being only 3mm thick, but I expected more from the toe patch rubber that is not only on these but also the lace-up versions. I was bouldering on sandstone.

    That being said, I still love these shoes and have krazy glued the parts of separating toe rubber back onto the shoes. I would/will buy these shoes again.

    Update: I had to downgrade the rating to three stars due to the durability issues. Took them on another trip outdoors and more of the same happened. The toe-patch rubber is simply not designed to last on real rock. Still love the shoes though. They fit great and are super sensitive. Just wish they held up better outside. If most of your climbing involves outdoor bouldering, I suggest you look elsewhere.

    4.0 out of 5 starsGreat shoe!
    By Amanda Webster on August 27, 2015
    Size: 36.5 M EUColor: Lite Orange Verified Purchase
    I purchased these climbing shoes because I just started this hobby in January but the shoes that I purchased the first time around seemed way to small. I know they are supposed to be on the small side, but not all your toes being jammed and smashed into the toe of the shoe. I started getting a bruise on the balls of my feet because I would climb for hours and my feet would be crammed in for that long. These were an instant relief to that. They fit like a climbing shoe should. I think they are a bit on the slender side, so if you have wide feet look else where. I love them for me the the grip in the toe inside/ outside makes me feel more secure and confident in my climbing abilities and I have made much quicker improvements because I am not worried about my feet slipping. Overall, love the new shoe!

    5.0 out of 5 starsHigh Performance From a Slipper
    By Alli Rainey on June 2, 2014
    I've never been a huge fan of slippers, as they tend to slip off pretty easily (especially when heel hooking and especially if you have low-volume heels like I do). But the Instinct S stands out in its ability to stay on despite its lack of fasteners. I love these shoes for warming up, for bouldering in the gym, and for longer days at the crags when I just don't feel like lacing up or even Velcro-ing shoes onto my feet anymore. Just being able to reach down and pop the heels off at the end of the pitch can be a sweet relief after a couple days of climbing! And knowing that I can still expect precision performance and trust my feet from these means that I always have a pair of them in my backpack, no matter where or what I happen to be climbing.

    5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome All Around Rock Shoes
    By Jesse Huey on October 30, 2013
    Super comfortable and high performance slippers. Extremely sensitive and edge very well. Overall they perform great on generally everything. I love using these primarily in the gym and on sport climbs that I know quite well. They slip on and off in seconds and seem to stay a good fit even after a lot of use. In some respects, the more you use them the better they get, and they resole really well.
