Great shoe. Great service.
Rock shoes are a very personal choice. Scarpa Instincts suit the shape of my feet. I like the balance of sensitivity and stiffness for edging. So I can buy without trying them on first. I buy different sizes of the same shoe.
I've used comfy pair on long easy multipitch (eg, Rogelio, El Chorro), tight pair on crimpfests (eg, Fatal Attraction, Hodge Close). Rock & Run always prompt and reliable.
