Best One For Me

I have 3 pairs of Instinct VS. keep re-soling in rotation. Fits me the best so far. I can heal with this better. Toe room is tingly but after a few use it feels right. I have small size usually 5.5w - I use size 35 1/2 for Instinct vs

Great Overall Bouldering Shoe

This is my favorite shoe to climb in. I got about a year and a half of use out of my previous pair of Instincts before noticing that the rubber was getting too worn, so I got a new pair and sized down half a size. The break-in process was relatively quick, only a couple sessions! I think these are great overall bouldering shoes, but I especially love them for any type of overhanging problems involving heel and toe hooks - the rubber and grip is unmatched.

Sick Bouldering Shoes

Huge upgrade from my five tens. Used them a dozen times now and I couldn’t have picked out a better pair. I climb mainly indoors, strict bouldering, it’s definitely gets better after 5 climbing sessions. I have very minimal arch so it took some getting used to. Very sensitive to the holds, love the traction. I’ve been missing out this whole time. Didn’t know it could get better!!!!

My Wife Loves Them

My wife bought these recently to repalce her other shoes that she blew through the toes on. She tried the men's Instincts, but they were to high profile on her ankle. She also has wider feet and felt like these fit perfectly (as perfectly as new climbing shoes can be until they are broken in!).

Love These

Been buying these same shoes for years. My fave bouldering shoes, amazing heel and toe hooks, and perfect for lighter climbers. Last me a long time too

New Fav Shoes

Sizing was a bit difficult for me… I did a lot of research and still missed the mark. In street shoes I am usually an 8 1/2 and i have the tarantulaces in a size 40 so i got a 39 1/2 because it says to size down. They were so tiny that i returned them and got a whole size up (40 1/2) and they fit perfect. My advice would be to find a place that you can try on various sizes first, and then purchase online. Once you find the right size you’ll fall in love!!

The Best Shoe(s)

My girlfriend had been looking for a shoe with a wide toe box, narrow heel, not too stiff but still good for edging, soft rubber, and a comfortable interior. These ticked all the boxes. There is the smallest amount of space in the heel still but the interior feel of the microsuede make this "one of the most comfortable shoes" she's ever worn. The only downside is the price, but you get what you pay for I suppose.

Excellent Performance

They are tighter than the regular Instinct VS due to the narrower profile. The performance is equally astounding. Been using the VS/VSR for half a decade now. The women’s version has a prettier color. I’d say go half a size up from the male version. I ordered the same as the male and it’s a much tighter fit. Not unbearable, but would prefer a bit more space.

Beautiful

Amazing shoes, awesome feel of the wall. Have loved this shoe. Will purchase again for my lady she loves the shoe. Fits perfect not too small or large.

My Go To For All Around Sport Climbing Shoes

I have pretty wide feet and got these after wearing the men's instincts for a few years. I prefer the more snug fit to that of the men's instincts. I trust these shoes for everything from smearing on slab to edging on vertical walls to overhangs. Can't say enough positive things about these shoes.

Solid Aggressive Shoe

Amazingly aggressive shoes. I got these to fit my narrow, low-volume feet and I'm impressed by the fit. I've worn them for about 5 sessions so far and they're breaking in nicely. You can really feel the power in the toe. I sized down half a size from my street shoe size, which feels appropriate. Not sending V10 here but these shoes are definitely a game changer.

Best Edging Shoes

I’m an intermediate climber and this pair of shoes are the best for edging, toe and heel hook yet not too aggressive. I’m so happy I found the perfect shoes! I got my street size and it felt so painful in the begging but after few sessions now it is just right level of tightness for climbing.

Nice Shoe

Breaking these in was an uncomfortable process but now that they're broken in they are probably about as comfortable as climbing shoes can be and they fit super well. No slipping during heel hooking and very sticky for toe hooking!

Feels Great! Wish They Lasted Longer

These are my second pair of these shoes and they feel amazing indoors and out but the toe rubber just doesn't last long at all outdoors unfortunately

What I Expected

Great mild aggressive shoes! Snug and shaped perfectly to mold the feet and didn’t take long before they were broken into. Overall great shoes
