The Scarpa Instinct Lace is an aggressive, robustly constructed, performance climbing shoe designed for sport climbing and bouldering.
Based on the Instinct VS model, the lace up version is much lighter and more sensitive. With its microfibre upper, 3/4 outsole design and TPU cage wrapping, it offers great foot support and prevents torsional movement and roll during extreme edging. The well fitting Instinct VS heel cup has been bolted on, making the Scarpa Instinct Lace an exceptional weapon for both sport climbers and boulderers alike.
Sizing
As with all the modern performance Scarpa's, the Instinct Lace provides reliably similar sizing - i.e. if you are a 42 in the Vapour Lace, Instinct Lace/Slipper, Boostic etc. you should be a 42 in this shoe.

Check out the video below from Scarpa athlete Aidan Roberts telling you why the Instinct Lace is his go-to.

Rock shoes are a very personal choice. Scarpa Instincts suit the shape of my feet. I like the balance of sensitivity and stiffness for edging. So I can buy without trying them on first. I buy different sizes of the same shoe.
I've used comfy pair on long easy multipitch (eg, Rogelio, El Chorro), tight pair on crimpfests (eg, Fatal Attraction, Hodge Close). Rock & Run always prompt and reliable.
Great service and website. Product came fast and as described.
Excellent climbing shoe
Ordered the Scarpa instinct lace in a size up from the Sportivas I have now based on some reviews and they were still too small. Returned and went another size up. Rock 43, Run were great through the whole experience. Took a week at most end to end.
