Kupiłam te buty jako prezent urodzinowy dla mojego męża. To dobre buty wspinaczkowe i wygodne. Ale wadą jest to, że są trochę trudne do zakładania i zdejmowania. Mogłyby być lepsze, gdyby miały rzepy lub wiązania. Mój mąż również narzekał, że jego stopy się pocą

Great shoes. Recommend highly. If you’re after a tight fit, you’ll probably be fine going for your normal shoe size

These shoes are well made and very technical. The separate toe box allows for good flexibility, the heal is fully randed for heal hooks and the toe box has a grippy top.I'm enjoying them lots.

Previous shoes used:Scarpa magosBoreal kintaroLove this shoe. I was slightly disappointed that the shoe isn't as tight as my magos even though I ordered the same sizeI gave them a chance before I sent them off to get a high size small and I was pleasantly surprised that my performance hadn't dropped. They kept up with my magos despite the tightness difference.My magos had an extremely painful break in period and they still fit tight. I expected the same and prepared myself for the worst with the instincts. When I put them on for the first time, I was surprised that they were more relaxed.They fit very snug without much dead space (only very little dead space on the top of my foot, but none anywhere else). My toes are not curled up like they are in my magos. They pretty much fit my foot perfectly with no pain. I started reading that modern climbing shoes don't have to be painful to get the performance out of them. So far I've been climbing in them indoors only (I have yet to take them out to hueco to see how they perform) and the edging is incredible. They aren't as sticky as my magos but that's ok because I wanted a shoe that edged better. My foot does slip on smearing but I have yet to break the rubber in so I'm not counting it as a bad thing yet.Heel hooking is on another level compared to the magos which had a horrible heel with a lot of dead space.They are easy to slip on and off which I really like to let my feet testthey don't breathe as good as other shoes so I expect climbing when it's hot is gonna cause your feet to retain a lot of sweat. I'll just take them off to let my feet cool off and let the sweat evaporateConstruct seems very solid for now. I haven't put much mileage in them yet so I have yet to see how they hold up but my magos are two years old and doing great (only need a new lace but that it's) so I'm expecting the same from these down the road.I thought the aggressive fit would only allow me to Boulder in them for short periods of time but since they fit so perfectly I already know I'll be using these to sport climb without suffering much if any.Great shoe. Will definitely resole them when the time comes

I've had these for a little over a year now, and I've learned a lot about them. The guy at the store insisted I was a size 40, but they were so tight I couldn't even put weight on my feet. So I ordered some size 42s from Amazon. Unfortunately, even THOSE were too tight, so I had to return them. Finally, I got some size 44s (my normal shoe size) and... Well, they are very very tight. Fine for bouldering and doing short pitches, but even after a year of use, I have to pull off the heel between routes to let off the pressure. Having said that, I got these specifically for gym bouldering, and I wanted them to be extremely aggressive. That's exactly what I got. My next pair will be 46 though for longer routes.I have slightly odd feet, where my little toes are very curled, thus my big toe is very predominant. With many climbing shoes, that means for the "proper" fit with all of my toes crammed into the toe-box, my big toe is EXTRA crammed. These shoes, however, have more of a point to them, and the toe-box itself is more tailored around the big toe. Plus, they've done some nifty engineering that pulls your toes tight into the toe-box WITHOUT excessive pressure on your achilles tendon and heel. Judging from the unique cramp I tend to get around the arch of my foot, I think it must use the thickness of the forefoot to pull against for toe-box tension. The result is a unique feeling, surprisingly comfortable climbing shoe that is extremely aggressive and precise for dime sized edgy features and over-hung routes. Just a side note, the Edge type rubber they've used here is definitely noticeably less sticky than their regular soft sticky rubber. Grip on smoothed off features or while smearing is adequate, but precarious. I tend to not trust that type of footwork in these as I've unexpectedly come off the wall a number of times.

Let me start off by saying I swore that La Sportiva Pythons were the best shoes ever, and no shoe would come close, BUT these are right up there. I have to wait and see but these have not disappointed so far, I am going to have to buy these in the correct size to truly be able to tell.So I usually wear La Sportiva Pythons in a 39.5 and these shoes fit like Pythons, at least for me. I went with a size 41.5 but for my next pair I am going to buy them in a 41. I do not size shoes super super tight or anything, but so I would recommend going up one size to a size and a half from La Sportiva brand shoes depending on how tight you like them. I wore a 40 in the Solutions and a wear a 39.5 in the Katana and Miura VS. These are like a better version of the Python in my opinion, especially with the rubber on top of the toe, toe-hooking is awesome. The rubber is sensitive and sticky and the heel is awesome. The main reason I like Pythons and these Instincts so much is because these heels seem to be the only ones that fit my foot so well. I would recommend these to anyone, you will not be disappointed. I have not tried them outside yet since it is summer but they have performed perfect thus far. I have not even put on my Pythons since I got these! Anyway I hope this helps!Oh by the way I wear a size 9 street shoe.
