SCARPA Women's Instinct Rock Climbing Shoe
Features
- Designed for bouldering and sport climbing
- FJW last: reduced volume with slightly asymmetrical, downturned shape, with a medium angled toe box
- Multi-panel upper (5) for the best custom moulding fit. PU cage on a seamless microfibre panel minimizes stretch and spreads the pressure of the lacing system across the upper
- Active randing: Bi-Tension active randing system runs under the toes and draws back through the arch of the foot to give great flex with subtle tension
- The PAF System is an innovative heel system that helps both spread the force of the heel tension for increased comfort and marginal heel hooking gains, with the sticky rubber rising higher up the Achilles
- Half-length Flexan 1.0mm insert spreads the force in the forefoot and allows for excellent flexibility in the rear of the shoe
- Bi-Tension active rand provides maximum toe power
- Rubber toe patch provides toe hooking power
- 3.5mm 2/3 length Vibram® XS Edge sole developed for maximum support to allow you to focus your weight on the tiniest of holds and will keep its shape through repeated stress (whether in hot or cold weather) with a hand-constructed 2mm Vibram® XS Grip 2 heel

| Technologies | BI-tension system: guarantees support and flexibility. It uses a reverse slingshot rand anchored under the critical toe area to connect directly to the heel rand. The patent-pending system actively pulls power from the toes to provide higher performance without cramming your toes forward. PAF System PAF is an innovative heel system that helps both spread the force of the heel tension, which also helps with over-compression of the toe box, and increase the fit of the heel. The aggressive tension-rubber is interrupted behind the heel to reduce pressure on the Achilles tendon and connected with softer rubber, that works like a bridge and allows full adaption to the shape of the heel. The holes on the side of the heel indicate the tension applied, which varies between 1 hole for light tension, 2 holes for mid tension and 3 holes for strong tension. Vibram® XS Grip 2: delivers measurably improved grip with a level of firmness ideal for moderate edging and slope holds, while maintaining consistent performance in all temperatures. Vibram® XS Grip2 is recommended for situations that demand the maximum grip. |
