Instinct VS-R LV

The Instinct VSR LV has been brought into the range as a softer more dynamic addition to the Instinct series. This softer feel (achieved by reducing the force applied to the Bi-Tension randing), along with the lowest volume fit seen in the series – even lower than that of the Instinct VS Womens – provides a welcome addition for those who have historically found other Instinct models too roomy and/or not sensitive/responsive enough, particularly within the indoor arena.

Features

• Multi-panel (6) complex construction for improved fit, zero hot spots and controlled stretch.
• Bi-Tension active randing system runs under the toes and draws back through the arch of the foot to give great flex with subtle tension. This model features a more relaxed application of the Bi-Tension system to make for a much softer feel.
• Single competition style Velcro strap.
• The ultimate all-round performer for bouldering and sport climbing the world over.

These are just for general guidance as we can't guarantee a good fit unless you come in store, unfortunately!

If you are new to rock shoes, we HIGHLY recommend either using hire shoes for a few sessions or getting to a local shop to try some on. If that isn't possible, then give us a call or drop us an email! We can offer you a bit of advice from our years of experience.

If you are used to rock shoes, this guidance should help you to reach a good fit. This is still not guaranteed as everybody has different shaped feet: wide, narrow, high volume, low volume, long toes, short toes, bunions, heel spurs and all the rest. The very best thing to do is make your excuses and take a trip to come see us in North Wales. You can get some proper shoes, heaps of shiny kit and most importantly - out on real rock!
