SCARPA Instinct S Unisex Rock Climbing Shoe

I've climbed in these shoes for two weeks now and they are the best fitting and most sensitive shoes I've ever climbed in. Prior to these shoes I climbed in the Mago's and Boosters. Personally, these shoes beat them hands down. The heel is significantly better and the increase in sensitivity is quite noticeable. They offer the perfect balance between stiff edging power and ultimate sensitivity. I sized them a half size down from the Mago's/Booster's and they fit perfectly. They aren't quite as aggressive as both the Mago's and Boosters, but are more than aggressive enough to handle the toughest of roofs or overhangs.But then why only four stars you ask? Well I just got back from my first outdoor trip(one day) with them. While they performed fantastically, I could stand on the tiniest of holds confidently, the toe patch rubber was seriously peeling off the top by the end of the day. I could understand the longevity of these shoes being compromised eventually due to the soles being only 3mm thick, but I expected more from the toe patch rubber that is not only on these but also the lace-up versions. I was bouldering on sandstone.That being said, I still love these shoes and have krazy glued the parts of separating toe rubber back onto the shoes. I would/will buy these shoes again.Update: I had to downgrade the rating to three stars due to the durability issues. Took them on another trip outdoors and more of the same happened. The toe-patch rubber is simply not designed to last on real rock. Still love the shoes though. They fit great and are super sensitive. Just wish they held up better outside. If most of your climbing involves outdoor bouldering, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Purchased too small so didn't get to use enough to give proper review. Build quality was excellent

Bought these shoes, was really excited to wear them climbing, and then totally lost them! D: I've searched everywhere, where did they go?! Scarpa has a nice toe box for those of us with lovely bunion feet ;)

So far so good. I ordered them small. Hope they stretch a little.

These are some of my favorite shoes, I preach about them so often, about the great rubber, the fit and the toe bed. My go to climbing shoes indoor and out.

First pair of these - really like them. I'm a 10 US, 43 VCS and went 42.5 in these. Tight but stretched to perfect.

Love these shoes!

The shoes must be mislabeled because I can not get my feet into these shoes.In the photo note the Scarpas supposedly size 43M 10M next to a size 43 bike shoe. The Scarpas are over an -inch- shorter than the bike shoes. The bike shoes fit fine because my feet really are a size 10.Am going to exchange for what is a real size 10 as I want to like these shoes.##
