Drago

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

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.

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.
