What climbers keep saying · from 8 reviews

comfortable3great heel hooks2stretches a lot2painful1

The Drone 2.0 LV is the first shoe where their small heel isn't a whoopie cushion; loves them especially for outdoor climbing.

positivegreat heel hooks

Bought the Drone 2.0 LV on hype, but the rubber is thick and they're very stiff and insensitive compared with their Dragos; worn fewer than ten times.

negative

The Drone 2.0 is ridiculously stiff and smearing is tricky; the LV is significantly narrow, took 30 minutes to stretch half a size up; best for steep overhang and Moonboard.

negative

Has climbed in the Drone 2 LV for a solid year and fits their shallow, narrow heel; now wants something softer for indoors.

positive

Their Drone 2.0 LV in 41 (street 42) has a slightly baggy heel and became roomy in the front after 6 months.

mixedstretches a lot

The Drone 2.0 LV is the snuggest shoe they've tried for very long, narrow feet, but stiff and insensitive compared with their Oasi.

Owned the Drone 2.0 LV in street size before: comfy but it loosened more than they liked.

mixedstretches a lot

Their Drone 2.0 LVs are great, but they struggle to smear on volumes steeper than 45°.

mixed

Had good success with the Drone 2.0 LV on narrow feet; the heel is great.

positivegreat heel hooks

Calls the Drone 2 LV the best-fitting climbing shoes they have ever worn, and is only wondering whether the softer comp version would suit them too.

“The normal drone 2 LV are the best fitting shoes I've ever used but I'm curious about the comp version (especially as they're cheaper for some reason).”
positivecomfortable

Bought the Drone 2 LV a size down and found it far too cramped and tight around their foot, despite loving their Drago LVs.

“I got a pair of madrock drone v2 lv and I downsized and size but they are way to cramped and tight around my foot”
negativepainful

With wide feet and a narrow, shallow heel, really loved the Drone 2 LV: a lot of effort to get on, but amazing once on.

“also really really really loved the mad rock drone 2.0 LV. regret not buying it again, it just takes a LOT of effort to put on but once it’s on it feels amazing”
