amazing
I am a V7-8 youth climber (16),
I am still breaking in the shoes, and I have noticed some unusual blisters on my foot knuckles due to abrasive material, but other than that, the fit and rubber have been incredible. The high-performance fit allows me to be more technical, and the rubber on the toe makes slab foot swaps seamless. I have a small heel, and the heel cup fits amazing, and heelhooks haven't slipped off.

love the shoe it fits my foot perfectly. my foot has a relatively wide body but requires a tighter heel cup which the instinct vsr lv provides well. the rubber does make it significantly harder to break in compared to the dragos

Instincts
Sticky rubber, heel on the lv fits my feet much better than regular instincts, very happy with the purchase
