Amazing sensitive and precise bouldering shoe
3 years ago
Fit like a glove. I usually climb in the Miura lace which are super stiff and easy on your feet for small foot chips. These are the complete opposite, very soft and sensitive so you can really feel and trust your feet - more versatile for all around bouldering. Great smearing and sticking to volumes in the gym. Great on toe hooks, heel hooks were decent but slightly insecure for me but only because I have such narrow feet even for the LV version. Expensive, but if you get them during a sale would recommend 100%. Note: I found they run smaller than LS. I personally didn’t downsize - I got my running shoe size 41 (US W9) which fit with no dead space. In smaller sizes my toes were so curled I couldn’t utilize the softness of the shoe to smear effectively

Not sure why REI lists these as womens shoes.
3 years ago
Scarpa is calling these wonderful shoes as low volume not womens. If they fit your feet no matter your gender you are in for a treat! 42 street shoes, 41 in these. Comfiest shoe I’ve owned so far, zero dead space.

Amazing shoe
1 year ago
This is an amazing shoe. I found that I was able to smear on the worst volumes in the gym, while also being able to edge on some very tiny footholds. The shoe tends to be slightly better at the former, but is an excellent all arounder. The only downside I found with the shoe is that, although not starting with too much downturn on the tip of the toe box, it smoothed out completely after about 1 1/2 months. (Tbh that time period is better than some other shoes.)That aside PERFECT shoe.

My favorite shoe of all time
4 years ago
This is my all time favorite shoe—I feel like I can stick to anything and be extremely precise with my toes. It also fits my foot like a glove. My rubber is a little soft, so they get a little beat up when outside, especially with toe cams. Still, they are amazing.

Solid shoes

These are good shoes. Really great quality material. The only thing that is a little off for me is the heal. It has more volume then the rest of the shoe, so it sticks out a bit and makes funny noises when i stand up.

One of, if not the best climbing shoes I've owned!
1 year ago
One of, if not the best pair of climbing shoes I've owned. I climb on a competitive team and currently already own two pairs and am going to buy the third soon. For me, they were a perfect fit right out of the box and maintained their structure until I felt I needed a new pair. The soft rubber is sensitive enough that it allows me to feel anything and everything on the wall as if I was climbing barefoot. On longer routes I find that my foot will occasionally cramp due to the obviously intentional lack of stiffness in the shoe, however this in no way takes away from the quality of the shoe. One of my biggest turn offs of shoes is when they feel so uncomfortable that I feel I need to take them off between every climb. This is NOT the case with the Drago's and I can wear them for extended periods of time without discomfort. I highly recommend these shoes for competitive climbers and even those who are casual climbers that want to up their game!

Scarpa for LIFE

Scarpa has changed the game for me! They literally fit like a second skin. I had to mess around with sizing a bit, my normal size 8 was entirely too small to the point I was bruising… 8.5 was perfect and still feels appropriately snug. Could not get a consistent review on sizing so I’d say there’s some trial and error. I love this!

Great for smearing and slab!
2 years ago
Favorite shoe for slab/smear heavy problems! Very soft and you can feel everything very well. Not great for long routes with lots of tiny foot chips though as( due to their softness) my feet cramp up since the pressure isn't being distributed more evenly throughout the shoe the way it would be in a more firm shoe. The heel is also a little big but that may just be my foot shape.

perfect indoor
1 year ago
I really liked to overall fit of the Drago! Super comfortable and soft, really sensitive on the wall, however, even if the shoe was great, the heel felt too deep, despite the fact that I sized it down (a lot). So not so much the best heel fit. Also I notice that it wears out quickly compare to the theory...
