Scarpa INSTINCT VSR LV, 39,5, sort - violet

Precision on steep terrain demands a shoe that blends sensitivity with power, and the Instinct VSR LV delivers exactly that. Aggressively downturned and highly asymmetric, it turns marginal footholds into confident placements, while the Vibram XS Grip 2 sole keeps you glued to volumes and smears. The low-volume last ensures a snug, performance fit for narrower feet, making every toe hook and heel hook feel secure.
