Scarpa Instinct SR

The Scarpa Instinct SR is a women’s performance climbing shoe in Scarpa’s Bergsport range, built for bouldering and technical routes. It brings together a snug slipper-style fit and the grip you need when you’re pushing your limits on overhangs or tiny footholds.

The upper is made from stitched microsuede, which breaks in quickly and holds its shape without the stretch of full leather. A reinforced elastic band closure hugs the midfoot for a secure, responsive feel, while the 3.5 mm Vibram XS Grip 2 rubber sole boosts friction on small edges and smears, so you can focus on your next move rather than worrying about slipping.

Vibram XS Grip 2 is a sticky rubber compound prized for its balance of tackiness and longevity, giving you reliable grip without sacrificing durability. At 3.5 mm thickness, the sole offers enough sensitivity to detect subtle features on the rock while still standing up to abrasion. The microsuede upper combines comfort with minimal stretch, keeping the shoe’s shape session after session.
