Instinct Lace
Lace-up shoe for climbers seeking precision and sensitivity
Black
Built on the same iconic last as Instinct VS, the Instinct Lace provides a similar base fit. That said, the constructional variances, such as the TPU outer cage and extended Ilga randing - which provides extra compression to the toe box - combine to provide a marginally more precise toe point and overall stiffer/supportive feel to the forefoot.
As well as the additional support, the TPU (Thermo PolyUrethane) cage prevents torsional movement and roll during extreme edging, making this a brilliant performer on front-on sequences of any angle, where high levels of force are driven through small footholds. The Lace retains the reliable Vibram XS Grip2 heel cup of the Instinct VS, making it an exceptional ally on all forms of hard climbing.
As you would expect, this model comes armed with a Vibram XS Edge outsole, to give unparalleled performance on small footholds, where high pressures are applied through a small surface area.
