amazing shoe
super comfortable for wide feet and perfect for gym, bouldering, and sport. I have very flat feet and went a size larger than street size for a comfortable fit, without sacrificing too much on performance. With super sticky rubber, they climb with precision but are soft enough to do well in both edging and smearing.

Amazing Versatility
The Velcro Instincts are my desert island shoe. They perform amazingly on face climbs of all angles and rock types.

Still adapting
I bought 1 number less than my normal shoes (bought 41eu and normal shoes are 42), I found them to be very tight. Im seeing if I can get used to them without hurting my feet. Or having to get a bigger number
