Im familiar with the instinct vs and wear that in a 41 how’s the chimera fit compare if you know? I have sensitive toesies.

Hey Michael, I haven't worn instincts before, but the Chimeras are a pretty asymmetrical shoe. I had a pair before and love them, but the initial break in period, which was really just the first day of using them much, was rough. After the first day of tightness on my big toe, they became my favorite pair of shoes. For reference I wear about a 40 in sportivas or about a 9 in five ten/Unparrallel

Michael for what it's worth i own instinct laces and chimeras the instinct lace is a bit different than the vs but i found the chimeras to be crazy assymetrical, so much so that I ordered a half size up from my instincts 41.5 to 42 and the chimeras still feel tighter. Wish I was in the market for aggressive shoes haha.

I have instinct Vsr size 41 and Chimera size 41.

Sizing is pretty much coherent.

Chimera is softer and more asimmetrical, so fingers are slightly more curled than in instincts..

Upper rubber in chimeras is softer so they mold to the foot like a sock, but give a tighter fit, without being uncomfortable..to me they are even more comfortable than instincts..

Shoe shape and feeling is definitely different...
