The new Chimera fits essentially the same as their Drago LV, with a slightly deeper heel.

Their new Chimeras feel and step great and toe hook nicely, but the heel is baggy enough to pull off on the wrong hook.
The Scarpa Chimera is their go-to shoe, used through an outdoor season and indoors.
Bought the Chimera but the heel was too wide for their narrow feet.
The Chimera tightens well, but for very low-volume heels the heel cup is like a small apartment; workable on face and slab.
Loves their Chimera madly but is getting tired of the laces.
The left shoe of their Chimera deformed quite a lot, likely from a slightly bigger left foot.
After years of searching, the Chimera is their most beloved shoe: perfect fit, awesome power and precision.
Uses the Chimera as their main outdoor shoe; one of the best fitting shoes they've used.
In their experience Chimeras are basically multipitch or sport Dragos.
Scarpa Chimeras are surprisingly good for their wide, flat feet: essentially a lace-up Drago and a great soft shoe.
The Chimera is their favourite bouldering shoe: fits a wide forefoot and narrow heel, and the laces let them heel hook with confidence.
Wears the Drago and Instinct VSR in 40, but the Chimera in 40 turned out too large.
