Those looking for a men's performance rock climbing shoe that really sings while bouldering and sport climbing ought to take a close look at the Scarpa Instinct VSR. When slipping into the VSRs you'll notice a supple fit and sensitive feel, the likes of which grips nuanced terrain thanks to Vibram® XS Grip2 rubber soles. Part of this feel also comes courtesy of the Bi-Tension system: tensioned rubber running underfoot from toe tips to alongside your feet on both sides of the shoe. And the rubber toe patch comes in clutch for toe hooks. The VSRs are perfectly suited to lighter climbers and will excel across a spectrum of hard climbing.

Scarpa sure does know how to make a climbing shoe. We're so glad you like the Instinct VSR and thanks for the review!
I have used the Instinct VSR for a few sessions and have loved them. I came from stiffer La Sportiva shoes and have enjoyed the supple nature of these. They broke in very quickly and feel like a sock. I haven't had them slip on anything and have been solid on boxes. Have not had a chance to test them outdoors but they inspire confidence.
