Scarpa's Instinct VSR is an excellent outdoor all-rounder. Thriving in vert and overhanging sport and bouldering routes, the soft(ish) rubber allows enough sensitivity to read foot placement clearly through small holds, making a strong shoe for edging and smearing. The feature that stands out the most in this shoe is the super rugged toe rubber, with ridges and texture allowing for secure toe hooks. It is a slipper/Velcro combination, allowing for a secure fit, but not much fit adjustment in the lower shoe.

The shoe makes for a good beginner entry into performance-based shoes, with my break-in not being as bad as some more restrictive shoes. The shoe does fit relatively wide so cramming will be more minimal, but not as suited to narrow feet.

It is important to aim for a snug fit due to the more relaxed toe and heel, as the wider heel can be awkward on unfit sizing.

I've seen and used this shoe in many environments, indoor and outdoor. At crags, boulders and comps this shoe holds up nicely and, for a softer shoe the rubber holds well.

Fit tip:

Wide fit in Heel and Toe, aim to downsize for adequate fit.

Drago's are an excellent climbing shoe designed for experienced climbers needing an aggressive arch and great toe and heel stability. This is definitely no a good shoe for any beginner or people who are not ready to have a very tight fitting shoe.
This shoe does really well in slabs and overhangs but will wear very quickly when climbing vertical walls. In general, Drago's are not a hardwearing shoe as the rubber is soft, so don't expect this shoe to last you as long as your other climbing shoes.

Fit tip:

Extremely tight

The Origin VS is the perfect shoe for people new to climbing, or those just looking for a comfy cruisy shoe to wear for long sessions in the gym. Primarily for indoor use, these boast a stickier rubber than other neutral beginner style shoes and have a large toe patch for working on toe hooks and overhang work. While excellent for beginners, these can be used at any level given their comfortable design. You shouldn't downsize too much, and if your toes feel like they're curling over, you've gone too small for this shoe.

Fit tip:

Not overly narrow - should fit most foot widths

Features

• Designed as a first boulder shoe for climbing in the gym in comfort
• Relaxed, neutral fitting shoe with low pressure points on heels and toes
• Dual ply microfibre upper
• VELCRO® strap with a high-stretch gusset allows easy entry
• Active randing: the PAF System is an innovative heel system that helps both spread the force of the heel tension and increase the fit of the heel
• 3/4-length nylon 1.4mm insert from heel to toe helps spread the force across the whole foot
• S72 rubber sole: S72 Rubber is a high friction rubber, developed and tested by SCARPA and Davos®. This soft compound gives a Shore A rating of 72, making it very adaptable to any surface and providing an excellent mechanical keying effect. S72 works equally well on rock and on indoor walls
• M50 hood (the same rubber compound used across high performance models)
