The Instinct climbing shoe is aggressive and designed for bouldering and sport climbing. It features a moderately asymmetric downturn for overhangs, a microsuede upper that conforms to foot shape, and a Bi-Tension active rand to maximize toe power. The PAF heel system offers women-specific shaping. The Vibram XS Grip 2 rubber sole provides traction on rock and in gyms. This shoe runs small, so sizing up is recommended for an ideal fit.
