Is the fit identical to the VS?Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Like what?The current Vapour V springs to mind. I don't think the last is any different.
That's what I was giving an example of. The women's have XS Grip 2, the men's have XS Edge.
Everything seems to have XSEdge2 now as well damn it Scarpa.
What have people who used the old Instinct laces moved on to?They fit my feel so well, and the new ones look very different.Everything seems to have XSEdge2 now as well damn it Scarpa.

Because the fit works so well for me, my shoes going forward will be probably both types of the VS, the -R I'll save for indoors and for gritstone bouldering.
Perhaps I should have quantified my statement a little more with shoes for trad .My experience of those are they are all super soft, there doesn't seem to be a stiffer shoe with XS Grip. Albeit I've not see the VS-R yet, so maybe that's the answer.

I was just about to try and buy a pair of the VSRs online but can't quite work out what size my VSs are (either the printed size has worn off or it was never there in the first place). Is anyone daft enough (/willing and around a size 7, I seem to be 6.5 in FiveTens these days) to measure their boots so I can take an educated guess?Mine measure roughly 23.5cm from the tip of the toe, to the back of the heel (with the boot arching and the tape measure staying flat).I'd just go to a shop but I'm running out of time before a trip.
Thanks.TomTom, I had it in my head to go a half size down but I tried thy old pair on the other night and they were still really snug. They're mainly for routes too.
My 40.5s are 23.5cm, my 40s are 23cm.
