Instinct S
Slip-on shoe for expert climbers, flexible and precise
Black - Azure
Featuring the most powerful tension system in the climbing range (currently unique to this model), the Instinct S is a relatively stiff, highly downturned shoe, excelling on steep terrain and across the board climbing arena.
The CTS (Combined Tension System) brings together attributes from the Bi-Tension (used across the rest of the Instinct series) and SRT (seen in Drago) systems, to offer powerful support and wrap-around foot-hold. The FJ last is slightly narrower with a more defined toe point than that of the FV last used in the other standard volume Instinct models. This, combined with the more powerful tension system, makes the Instinct S the most downturned shoe in the Instrinct family and laser precise on tiny dinks or screw-ons, particularly on overhanging angles beyond 25 degrees.
A five panelled microfibre upper, REB reinforced elastic closure with seamless big toe panel offer zero hot spots and a moulded fit. This upper sits aloft a 1mm half-length Flexan midsole which spreads the force in the forefoot, giving good support and flexibility where required.
Full M50 rubber on the top of the toes and heel cup massively improve hooking and foot camming. This combines perfectly with the 3.5mm two thirds length XS Grip2 sole, to offer some of the highest levels of performance available on steep terrain.

Instinct S


Focus
UPPER
Multi-panel upper with seamless big toe panel and seamless four-toe panel for the best custom molding fit. Full microfibre upper with REB reinforced elastic closure.
TENSION
The CTS is a combination of elastic tension rubber that controls the length of the shoe and soft high friction rubber that surrounds the forefoot. The soft M50 rubber evenly distributes power around the toe area and reduces pressure on the little toes. The harder tension rubber supports the big toe area and inside edging zone and is directly connected to the heel. The result is outstanding strength and precision on small footholds.
MIDSOLE
Half-length Flexan 1.0mm insert spreads the force in the forefoot and allows for excellent flexibility in the rear of the shoe
SOLE
3.5mm ¾ XS Grip 2 sole. M50 rubber heel construction for high friction hooking performance.
