Name: Scarpa Instinct Lace
Brand: Scarpa
SKU: FT-RB-SCIL-EU 38.5
Price: 105.0 GBP
Availability: InStock
Rating: 4.5 (12 reviews)

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.

Great service and prompt delivery

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.

Seems like a nice shoe, too pointy for my foot shape

I bought the same size as my Scarpa Meastro shoes (EU43.5) and the length fit well, but unfortunately, the shoe is very pointy compared to the Meastro and angles sharply down from the big to towards the little toe. This simply does not fit my foot shape, so no firm conclusions. They are marketed as a "wide" shoe, and they may well be wide at the ball of the foot, but the space for all but the big toe may be too small for many feet (I guess). For reference, I also have Katanas in EU42 which are fairly narrow on my foot but do actually work well for bouldering. Will send them back for a refund. Usual excellent service from Rock and Run.

Great shoes - sizing difficult though

Shoes are great to wear, good quality and the laces on these aggressive shoes help give me support where I need it. In terms of sizing I’d say I needed half a size larger than what I normally go for in climbing shoes. So consider that before buying since returns aren’t free
