What climbers keep saying · from 9 reviews

comfortable4great heel hooks3sensitive2sticky rubber1

The D2.One HV fits very well, is very comfortable with a quick break-in, but feels insensitive and imprecise, with an odd blunted toe and a low heel; ranks in their bottom 25%.

negativecomfortable

Their D2.ONE HV isn't that stiff even new and softened after one session; good for smears and fairly sensitive, between Skwama and Solution in stiffness.

positivesensitive

Has both the Drone 2 and D2.ONE HV: same fit, but the D2.ONE is noticeably softer.

positive

Reviews the D2.1 HV after heavy use: softer and better on smeary climbs than the Drone CS, similar underfoot to a Solution Comp or Zenist Pro, with the front insert keeping some edging power, though it softens over time; a jack-of-all-trades shoe with a narrow heel even in HV.

positivesensitive

Uses the Drone 2.1 HV for regular sessions; easily among their best-fitting shoes.

positivecomfortable

The D2.ONE HV fits their feet best of any shoe tried and is their favourite; likes Mad Rock's rubber and the innovative heel and toe design.

positivesticky rubbergreat heel hooks

Moved from VSRs to Mad Rock; their D2.ONE HVs broke in well and are comfortably tighter for their wider foot.

positivecomfortable

Had dead space in the heel of their Mantras and Futuras; the D2.ONE HV heel feels significantly more snug on their wide feet.

positivegreat heel hooks

Even at street size and HV, the D2.1 hugs their shallow heel better than any shoe; narrow overall but the pinky area stretched out.
