I've been using instinct lace-ups and really like them. I've not used them on grit, but they've done well on both Euro and UK lime. Notably more sensitive than the Magos. However, I wouldn't necessarily get them if you want something long lasting - the quality of the build seems fine, but I go through the rubber quicker than either the old scarpas or 5.10s
they are just as grippy but they dont tend to creep slowly like the Stealth, the creep is much faster.

If the Matador is too sharp and the Corona too soft for you, check out the new Habarero Lace. Thanks to the inspiration of Markus Bock, one of the strongest sport climbers in the world, we developed this high end shoe for (almost) everyone.That's amazing, because Markus focused on the crucial features that helped him climb his hardest Frankenjura projects. Given a straight last shape, your foot-power is pooled to the big toe and the strong mid-sole supports extra traction for nasty Frankenjura pockets. The speed-lace is incredibly comfortable, while super sensitive and precise footwork doesn“t lag a step behind.As for a good high end shoe, the profiled bonus toe rubber is a must-have and a guarantee for pain-free super-tech toe-hooks. The lo-stretch synthetic upper will prevent the shoe from growing and the leather inner sole will stop the wicked side effect of odour contamination typical for synthetic shoes.So, as mentioned, with these features the Habanero Lace is not only suitable for high end climbing but also brings great fun for climbs beyond the 7th grade.
