Rewards Program Terms and Conditions
Last updated January 1st, 2020
Opting-in to Moosejaw Rewards:
All users must accept these terms and conditions and create an account with Moosejaw to opt-in to the program and earn, accrue, retain and redeem Moosejaw Reward Dollars (MJ$). The program is FREE to join and membership is ongoing until or unless the user requests to be removed or is removed due to abuse of the program. Users can opt-in to the program while checking out on Moosejaw.com or at one of our stores or at any time within 30 days of purchase to accrue the MJ$ earned on that purchase. Once opted-in to the program, MJ$ will earn and accrue for redemption as described below until the MJ$ expire or the user leaves the program.
All information collected and used to facilitate the Moosejaw Rewards program is directly related to the program's ability to provide value to the customer. A customer opting-in to the Moosejaw Rewards program is a separate action from establishing a user profile as a result of making a purchase.
The program opt-in requirement was added on August 6th, 2019. Existing program members prior to that date must still formally opt-in and accept the terms and conditions to continue to retain, earn and redeem MJ$. Pre-existing program members that fail to opt-in prior to June 28, 2020 will be removed from the program, and any unused MJ$ will be voided. We really, really don't want to that to happen, so please opt-in or we'll feel terrible.
Leaving Moosejaw Rewards Program:
You may choose to leave the Moosejaw Rewards program at any time by logging in and clicking on the “Opt out Rewards Program” link within the My Account Summary page, Email, calling 877-MOOSEJAW (877-666-7352) or in-store with help from our employees. If you leave the rewards program, any unused MJ$ will be voided upon completion of your request.
Earning MJ$:
All items we sell are eligible with the exception of gift cards or other items specifically noted. Full-priced items earn 10% back while discounted items earn 2.5%. "Discounted items" includes items on sale or discounted via coupon code or use of MJ$. You do not earn MJ$ for shipping or tax charges, only from the item value. MJ$ expire two years after earning and are redeemed on a first-in, first out basis (in other words, we always use your oldest MJ$ that are closest to expiration).
Checking & Redeeming MJ$:
On Moosejaw.com, just sign-in on any page to see your available balance. Once signed in, you will see your available MJ$ and maximum that can be redeemed in the payment section of the checkout process. In stores, provide the email address attached to your account to learn your balance and apply to your purchase. We will also send you a monthly email that details your balance and other account activity. This is a transactional email that you will receive even if you are not subscribed to our marketing emails.
Bonus Rewards Promotions:
Every so often, we'll have special offers where you can earn bonus MJ$, like an additional 10%, 20% or 40% back. So if we are running a 50% back special offer, and you buy a regular-priced item for $100.00, you will receive MJ$10.00 in base points, and a bonus of MJ$40. These special offers may have a cap on how many bonus MJ$ you earn during the promotion, but you will always earn the base Reward Dollars. Make sure to check us out on our social channels for other ways to win some extra MJ$!
MJ$ on Gift Cards:
You don't get earn MJ$ when you buy a gift card, but you do get MJ$ when you spend a gift card. Sorry gift givers. You're welcome gift receivers.
Product Returns and MJ$:
If you return an item, we deduct the MJ$ earned on that item from your balance. If you used the MJ$ and your balance is less than deduction, then your refund is reduced by the difference.
Program Abuse:
The intent of the program is to provide our loyal customers with a way to buy great gear for less. Moosejaw reserves the right to remove any user from the program and zero out their MJ$ balance if Moosejaw determines that the user is abusing the program by buying for resale, attempting to game the program or any other reason at Moosejaw's sole discretion.

Our Rewards Program is completely FREE and easy to use.

My new go toThese are my new go to climbing shoes. A little stiff right out of the box, which is to be expected. But by day 3 they felt broken in and ready to send. I sized them from 42 street to 40.5 climbing.

Perfect BalanceI recently decided to try these out in lieu of my use of Solutions for gym climbing and bouldering. Really love these shoes. They don't feel clunky and bulbous and leave my foot feeling really free and light. Great use of rubber for toe hooks as well on cave boulders and super appropriate for the lead wall. Great balance between aggression and precision. The heel fits my medium width feet as well.

Good all around shoeI bought these shoes a few weeks ago specifically for sport climbing, but they’re pretty good for bouldering as well. Note that the VSR is different from the VS in terms of its softness. The VSR is a softer shoe and thus allows for more sensitivity. In terms of shoe sizing, I downsized 1 full size from my street shoe size for this shoe.

Powerful shoeBeen using the shoe for last month and it delivers on heel and toe hooks on in-door bouldering problems. The shoe's downturn so far holds for ~150 lb person despite the grip rubber and inspires confidence on overlangs and slabs alike. Break-in period is a couple sessions if it's your first downturn shoes; toebox is wide and tall but for my feet, I wished it was a tad taller. Heel is slightly roomy on the left foot (normal shoe size is 10 USA, VSR size 43.5) but good fit on right foot (slightly larger). Sizing down to 43 or 42.5 had painful hotspots on the big toe knuckle. Toes curls just enough with a snug fit to keep the shoe rigid under tension for foot chips.

Scarpa Instinct VSR ReviewI bought this to upgrade from my previous Scarpa Arpias. The Instinct fit my foot much better and had a nicer form fitting heel. The edging on these shoes is next level, and the softness of the rubber allows smearing confidence. I have been bouldering exclusively outside in these for a month and the shoes has held up nicely. One adjustment is that the increased rubber in the forefoot allows for less stretch.

Favorite shoe for gym boulderingThis is my favorite all around indoor shoe, though I mostly boulder. It has enough downturn for overhangs, but still smears very well and sticks to slabby volumes. Solid heal and toe hooks.
I think the stickiness of the XS Grip 2 rubber is great indoors. My gym rarely has small, sharp edges; when they do show up, "smedging" works well. The granite I climb on outside does have a lot of small, sharp edges. I find these shoes deform too much and get torn up quickly. I definitely prefer a shoe with XS Edge rubber outside. (Note, I'm 170-180lbs)
My street shoe size is Men's 9.5 and I have this shoe in both 41.5 and 42. The smaller shoe takes some effort to put on, but then fits very well heal and toe. The larger shoe fits great in the toe, but the heal is a bit baggy. They are much easier to put on and I can wear them for longer without discomfort. I notice minimal performance decrease versus the smaller size. Neither size stretched significantly after break-in.
My only complaint is that the inner liner is orange and stains the bottom of my feet. When I take my shoes off, I look like I have a terrible foot fungus. I put up with this because the shoes are great to climb in.

Amazing ShoeThis is my second time but this pair of shoe and I love it. The softer rubber feels super nice and works great for the indoor climbing that I do.
I wear a 37 in my pair of women’s Vapor V lace ups. What size would suggest in the Instinct?
Asked by: Eli1223
Hello Eli1223!
The sizing on these is similar to the Vapor V. You should be good to go with your same size. If for some reason they don't work out we have a great return/exchange policy! (https://www.moosejaw.com/content/returns)

Size query
I wear a size 40 in lasportiva katana Velcro.
My foot is slim and long with low volume and a heel on the small side (I can’t wear solutions because I don’t fill out the heel cup)
What size would fit best in these?
Asked by: Chelle84
Hey there Chelle84,
These shoes run very similar in size to the Katana velcros. If they for some reason do not work out, you can find our return/exchange policy right here:

When will y'all have a 44.5 in the vsr?
Asked by: Skyler
Hiya Skyler, thanks for your question! If you don't see a size listed on the product page it means that we are temporarily out of stock. We do tend to restock fairly often so please check back. Once we have more of that size available either in our warehouse or via special order that selection will be listed on the product page. I'm sorry I don't have more information for you!
