Great All Around Shoe

This is my 3rd time buying these shoes. I had worn out my previous pairs and gotten several resoles. They are a bit softer than their orange Instinct VS counterparts. They tend to fit my foot shape well and work well for both bouldering and sport climbing. As the shoe breaks in they start to smear very well but don’t lose their edging.

My grandson loved them!
Initially I bought the wrong size for my grandson for Christmas. I followed the instructions on the return and exchange for the correct size. I did that Christmas Day and he received the correct size 2 days later!!!

my favorite shoe for all around performance, rubber is thick enough to provide support on small feet and, is real sticky! great heal and toe box on this shoe. This is my fifth pair of instincts, a perfect shoe really great fit.

I made the switch from my old leather Vapor Vs to the Instinct VSR in the same size. They were an amazing upgrade. The softer rubber on the VSRs sticks like glue and the sensitivity is unreal. It has great smearing capabilities for having such an aggressive downturn. The heel is snug but not painful. Whereas, the heel in my old Vapor Vs had quite a bit of slop (the newest Vapor V's have an improved heel.) I'm now more confident in my heel hooks. Very little break in stretch, but the shoe has become easier to put on (maybe the layer of chalk helps.) The shoe has great power to the toe. The only place this shoe does not give me confidence is on micro edges. I do not feel locked in and feel more as though I'm smearing on tiny edges. Good thing they make the same shoe with an edging rubber outsole, the Instinct VS. All around outstanding performance, comfort, and style for people with feet on the wider side.
