Scarpa has introduced a new shoe to their extensive lineup!
The Drago is the weapon of choice when it comes to steep overhangs & technical boulders it’s soft and sticky so you can feel the rock through the shoe. Vibram XS Grip 2 really shines on tiny jibs & smearing your way up a slab. Drago is perfect send shoe for hitting up Coolum Cave. You will notice a fair few competition climbers hitting up the circuit.
An interesting point is the rubber at the front wraps under the foot providing protection and a substantial area to toe hook. They have utilised the Instinct VS single strap closure & heel cup. So if you’re a boulderer or a sport/competition climber then you should give the Drago a shot. If you're looking for a Trad shoe or something to wear for longer periods then take a look at some different models like the Miura & Mythos.
Fit & Sizing
These will fit very similar to the Instinct VS & Furia but be aware they are a microfibre upper with a lot of rubber so don’t expect the same amount of stretch as your leather-based shoes. Going a single size down from your standard shoe is what we’ve seen most people go with (Euro Size). We recommend always trying before you buy, We have a boulder wall here for you to come try your shoes on.
