INSTINCT VSR

For climbers who trust friction and sensitivity on steep boulders and sport climbs, the Instinct VSR delivers a powerful mix of feel, control, and secure hooking. Softer than the VS, it's tuned for climbers who prefer responsiveness over structure, especially on slopers, smears, and modern comp-style movement. The microsuede upper shapes closely to the foot for a confident, low-stretch fit, while the Bi-Tension™ active support system keeps the forefoot engaged without compromising flexibility. The Vibram® XS Grip 2 outsole maximizes friction on rock and resin, and the sculpted toe patch and heel rubber enhance hooking performance on steep terrain.

 

Whether you're working tensiony problems indoors or powering through overhanging sequences outside, the Instinct VSR brings the sensitivity and security needed for advanced footwork.

 

• Microsuede upper molds to the foot for a close, supportive fit that maintains sensitivity.
