Great shoes! I've also worn these for the last 3-4 and I'm a bit gutted by this news. I can't say I'm suprised though as Scarpa have brought out so many new models recently. They were sensibly priced as well.

Sounds like chinese rumours to me.

I can confirm that Scarpa are still making the Instinct Slipper, and they're still being imported.

Is this sneaky Scarpa drumming up interest?  Haha.

Did you fall for the V12 sales pitch and buy 3 pairs?

Don't know who told you that Tom! Must have been Derw trying to turn you to the dark side and suggesting a switch to 5.10s?  :lol:

No - they were for dainty little ballerina feet like yours- not mine :p

The VSR's are very similar if fit and feel - with the advantage of having a much better heel - and the disadvantage of costing £30-40 more...

I was in V12 dropping off old pairs of slippers to be resoled by Torquil. It's very good of the v12 folks to do that...
