The Drone 2.0 HV heel fits them very well; after three sessions they can feel the shoes breaking in.

positiveneeds break-in

Ordered the Drone 2.0 HV in street size and it's a bit tight, especially getting the foot in over a high instep.

mixed

Bought the Drone 2 HV in their Scarpa size: a bit stiffer in the toe and hard to get on, but breaking in.

mixedneeds break-in

The Drone 2.0 HV is one of their main shoes alongside the Instinct S; they complement each other well and the Drones have the best heel.

positivegreat heel hooks

The rubber on their new Drone 2.0 HVs started ripping off after just two sessions.

negativewears out fast

Very happy with the Drone 2 HV after a few months; found a good fit coming from more neutral shoes.

positivecomfortable

Bought the Drone 2 HV for the stiffness; incredibly stiff out of the box and hard to get their high-arched feet into.

mixedneeds break-in

Drone 2.0 HV has an amazing heel; the toe box was a bit narrow and painful the first month, then fits very well.

positivegreat heel hooksneeds break-in

Finds the Drone 2 HV kind of OK but doesn't like how aggressive it is, especially the amount of rubber.
