Drago

Dragos wore out the fastest for them, roughly 40-60% of a Skwama's lifespan.

The sole-to-rand junction on Dragos wears quickly, but the uppers are more durable than the Skwama's; expects more resoles from them.

Loved their Dragos, but with beginner technique they didn't last long.

Found the Drago heel awfully deep, though otherwise a nice fit.

Their Dragos got holes in the upper, likely from sizing too small.

Has worn Dragos since release and owned all the variants; loves the sensitivity and the heel fit.

Has had both since release: the Drago is much better suited as a comp-style indoor all-rounder.

Got Dragos when returning to climbing a year ago.

Returned it: too soft for them, they hesitated to stand on tiny holds and it deformed and slipped, and they preferred the Unparallel Flagship.

“Tried the Drago and the Unparallel Flagship and preferred the Flagaship. I personally did not like how soft the Drago is. I hesitated to place my foot on anything tiny, fearing it would deform”

Went through two pairs; it grips everything but wears out in about two months, so they sent one for a harder XS Edge resole.

“Had 2 pairs of Dragos myself and i pretty much agree with you on all points. Grips everything nicely but wears out within 2 months if you climb a lot especially outside.”

Loves their Dragos and keeps Instincts for rock to protect them; even the softest Instinct feels like a ski boot with no sensitivity by comparison.

“I absolutely love my dragos. I also have a pair of instincts for outdoor (because I don't want my dragos to get shredded on rock)”

Always found the Drago cramped around the little toe; the roomier XT fitted them far better.

“I've wanted to like Dragos, but they always felt as though I'd need to amputate my little toe for them to... fit.”

After six years and many shoes, the regular Drago is the best-fitting shoe they've had.

“I climb in the regular Drago and for me it’s the best fitting shoe I’ve had so far, so easily recommend getting them! Been climbing for 6 years”

Dragos work well for their Instinct-shaped foot because they're so soft they mold around it.

Loves the feel of their Dragos, which fit their feet wonderfully.

Bought the Drago and absolutely loves them: very comfortable.

On their third pair of Dragos; excellent heel hooks.

Loves the Dragos but went back to resoled Solutions as a beater pair.

Has worn Dragos for a long time and thinks they're perfect, but their lifetime is short.

Has used Dragos for about a year and absolutely loves the toe box.

The Drago is a daily driver they love, but it really hurts.

Has used Dragos for 3 months and they're really nice, but their toes hurt after a good session.

Can't use Dragos because they hurt their feet so badly.

Climbing at lower levels, the Scarpa Drago gives them a lot of confidence.

Uses mainly Dragos, which fit their narrow heel and wide forefoot best.

Their last pair of Dragos lasted almost 8-9 months climbing three times a week with good footwork.

Went with the regular Drago one size down from street for narrow Egyptian feet and they fit.

Same-size Dragos felt more comfortable fresh out of the box than their smallest Instincts.

The Drago fits their foot well and is a joy to climb in as a soft indoor shoe, and comfortable.

The regular Drago is a go-to shoe: for powerful but sensitive climbing, especially in the gym, nothing does better.

The Drago is the best soft shoe they've found, though a bit narrow in the toe box.

With small heels, the Drago is one of the shoes that works best for them.

Hesitated to buy the Drago and now wishes they had done so earlier; loves the fit and sensitivity.

Has low-volume heels and the Dragos fit them well.

The Drago toebox gave a precision and sensitivity they'd never felt, but the bulbous heel slipped out on hard heel hooks and the M50 toe rubber is unforgiving (3/5).

Wears Dragos and prefers soft shoes, but found they lack support, so bought a stiffer pair as well.

Uses Scarpa Dragos as a more sensitive shoe; they mould well to the feet, even with bunions.

Dragos made a night-and-day difference: feeling the holds improved their footwork from 6a+ to consistent 6c onsight, though they hurt on long slabby routes.

Dragos are by far their most comfortable shoe because they're so soft, but they wish they were more durable.

Besides Skwamas, they also love Scarpa Dragos.

Dragos are among their overall favourite shoes; spent a lot of time in them and they've gotten the job done.

After trying 20+ pairs, bought Dragos and has been going strong for over a year.

Uses Dragos for harder overhang projects: soft and sensitive with higher performance.

Their first Dragos, downsized more than usual, were extremely painful but became wearable by the third session.

Dragos are the opposite of durable for them and don't fit as well as Theories.

Their first pair of shoes was the Drago and they loved it.

Dragos were too narrow for their feet even sized big.

Their Dragos developed holes from poor footwork as a first performance shoe; 8 months is fine for a soft shoe.

Loves the Drago's thin split sole and curve, but they are the most painful shoes they've had.

The Drago is their favourite shoe.

Loves their Dragos and is very happy climbing in them.

The Drago is the shoe they like most, but it wears out quickly, about every 5 months.

Their first shoes were Dragos and they're glad: they helped their footwork and toe strength.

Drago was their first gym shoe: took time to break in but now fits like a sock and feels like cheating; the Solution never got comfortable.

Has used both Solutions and Dragos and likes both; Dragos have softer, stickier rubber.

Sized Dragos two sizes smaller than their Instincts and they feel fantastic; the soft material stretches around their foot.

Had their Dragos close to 7 months with normal wear before a deep hole opened on the toe.

Burns through Dragos in about 3 months; says they're for a good time, not a long time.

Dragos keep their big toes straight; very downturned and asymmetric but so soft they're comfortable for them.

Used Dragos for rope climbing and didn't find them comfortable for it: the tiny midsole means your feet do all the work, though they mold to holds for lots of grip.

Just got Dragos and loves how the super soft shoe performs for technical higher-grade bouldering; feels stickier than their previous Theories.

Has climbed many double-digit boulders of all styles in the Drago.

Has owned four pairs of Dragos; finds they lose rigidity after about three months and are rough on the skin.

Says the Drago smears like glue, though it is rough on jibs.

After a dozen models over 9 years, Dragos suit their wide feet best; short break-in and climbed 5.13c/V9 in them.

Dragos last about 6 months on rough Walltopia walls for them.

Wears their Dragos in a comfortable size 39 and loves them; the shoe is so flexible it bends in half with one hand.

Dragos are very soft, break in to medium stiffness, smear very well and still let them push into their toes; near perfect, though soft for some overhangs.

Drago is very soft, needed a few weeks to soften, and now fits like a glove; heel slightly worse than Mad Rock.

Has worn Dragos for a while, but the most recent pair blew through quite quickly and felt looser than the normal tight fit.

Moved from the Instinct VSR to the Drago and hasn't looked back: similar fit and sizing but much more comfortable and better for heel hooks and smearing, if not as good on tiny edges.

“I went VSR to Dragos and haven’t looked back. Similar fit/sizing but much more comfortable and better for heel hooks and smearing. Maybe not so good on tiny edges but not terrible either.”

Went to the Drago for a softer Instinct-like shoe: not quite as stiff at the toe edge, but softer overall with an even better toe hook patch.

“Not quite the stiffness at the toe edge as the Instinct but an overall softer shoe with an even better toe hook patch.”

Finds the Drago fit quite different from the Instinct and far too narrow for their foot shape.

As a heavier climber at the gym every other day, finds soft shoes like the Drago last only 3–4 weeks.

“Soft shoes like dragos last me 3-4 weeks as a heavier climber going to the gym every second day.”

Calls the Drago the best smearing shoe they've had: very aggressive, yet they can drop heels and smear comfortably, and it sticks like nothing else.

“My Drago's are the best smearing shoes I've ever had. They are aggressive as hell but I can go heels down and smear super comfortably, and they stick like nothing else.”

Loves the Drago, but climbing hard in them wears them out fast even with proper footwork.

With thin feet, found the regular Drago had far too much volume and didn't fit at all.

Loves the Drago; the only shoe they've liked as much is the UP Mocc, which does almost everything the Drago does except very slippery slab and very aggressive toe hooks.

Both of their two pairs of Dragos have small holes in the mesh, which they put down to toe hooks.

“I have two pairs of dragos and both of them have small holes in the mesh. Toe hooks will eventually cause it”

Wears the regular (non-LV) Drago in EU 39.5 against an EU 42 street size; they fit like a glove, though going 2.5 sizes down was scary at first.

Their first aggressive shoes were Dragos half a size down; they hurt for about two weeks, then opened up enough not to hurt except in very long sessions.

Finds the Drago fits even wider feet once downsized and broken in.

A V7–V9 boulderer has two decent holes at the toes of their Dragos after nine months; loves soft shoes but wants something stiffer for micro footholds.
