Been wearing these shoes since summer of 2020 and absolutely love them. The grip they provide has increased my trust in my feet, and I've noticed my footwork improve significantly. You can just feel everything through them, and after the very short break-in period, they were comfortable to wear for hours on end. They're perfect for volumes, indoor climbing holds and smearing. A few weeks ago I wore them outside climbing at Red River Gorge, and they performed excellently! I just wore through the toe after 1.5 years of consistent use, climbing ~3 times a week. For how soft the shoe is, I'm actually impressed they lasted that long. In terms of sizing, I find they're consistent with other Scarpa climbing shoes. I wear a 42.5 in both my Drago's and my Instinct VS.

These shoes are aggressively shaped, but are still soft in terms of flexibility. You will feel sharp point holds through these shoes FYI. They are not as hard as they look. They're so soft in fact, they rubber near the toes have been wearing away faster than my other shoes. They're still super super comfortable shoes though. The inside is more like a soft silk feeling. My feet slip right in even on sizes that are smaller for me. I suggest going a half size down for true aggressive fit. But right now I have a size that's comfortable enough for me to wear these without taking them off between sessions.

Favorite shoe so far! I've been through four different climbing shoes so far, and these are by far the best. I was expecting them to take a bit to break in, but literally the first time I wore them to climb, they were so comfortable. No break in time at all, which almost makes me think I should have sized down more. I wear a women's 7.5 street shoe, and my Dragos are 39s, and I almost wish I had gone down to 38.5. I was surprised at how much they stretched. I most boulder, and they've been great for the more technical slab climbs, as well as really driving through my toes on overhung climbs.

I have been climbing with these shoes for roughly a month now and they are by far some of stickiest shoes I've used. Great for overhang especially. From training to casual climbing and even competition settings they're great. Heels don't pop during heel hooks and toe hooks are comfortable and secure. Having these shoes have really allowed me to focus on technical footwork without discomfort. About the only bad thing I can think of is the durability isn't the amazing but not the worst I've seen. Slight wear on the tips after 3/4 days in the gym since I got them with pretty heavy projecting and running circuits (4x4s, pyramids, up-downs, etc.). Highly recommend!
Overall great shoe. The thin rubber fits your foot like a glove, only took about 2 sessions to break them in. Aggressive point is really good for small foot holds outside. Heel hooks feel super solid, and toe hooks seem to stick really nice.My only worry is how long the thin rubber will last, but so far they have been great and I am in love with them. Gonna keep getting new pars of dragos until they stop making them.
Really wish it were possible to write a review without giving stars; I tried these out, and while they felt snug and super tactile, the toe box was slightly too narrow for my feet. My feet aren?t overly wide, but its enough that I have to take into account when sizing shoes like this, and unfortunately these ones in particular were too narrow. This caused some pinching on the sides, and I think because my feet didn?t make it all the way into the toe box properly, my heel wasn?t seated properly either. Because pretty much the entire toe is wrapped in rubber, it?s not likely to stretch laterally. I will say they felt soft, light, and there was a lot of feel in the tip of the toe to negotiate small holds. The asymmetrical design felt a little weird the way it twisted ... MoreReally wish it were possible to write a review without giving stars; I tried these out, and while they felt snug and super tactile, the toe box was slightly too narrow for my feet.

The asymmetrical design felt a little weird the way it twisted your foot, but I can kinda see how it works with the rand.I want to make it clear that this doesn?t make this shoe bad, per se, just something for prospective buyers to take into account. Which is also why I wish I didn?t have to rate it with stars; the shoe just wasn?t meant for me, but I?m sure it?s great for other people.For reference, I have both the VS and VSR, and they fit me perfectly, just wanted something a little less bulky for overhanging boulders. I?d really like to try the Chimera, even though it?s more for sport climbing, because I think laces would help alleviate some of that squeeze with zonal tightening.
One of, if not the best pair of climbing shoes I've owned. I climb on a competitive team and currently already own two pairs and am going to buy the third soon. For me, they were a perfect fit right out of the box and maintained their structure until I felt I needed a new pair. The soft rubber is sensitive enough that it allows me to feel anything and everything on the wall as if I was climbing barefoot. On longer routes I find that my foot will occasionally cramp due to the obviously intentional lack of stiffness in the shoe, however this in no way takes away from the quality of the shoe. One of my biggest turn offs of shoes is when they feel so uncomfortable that I feel I need to take them off between every climb. This is NOT the case with the Drago's and I can ... MoreOne of, if not the best pair of climbing shoes I've owned.

I highly recommend these shoes for competitive climbers and even those who are casual climbers that want to up their game!
Bought these about a month ago for an upcoming trip to the Red River Gorge climbing area.I'm pretty sure these shoes are a plus 5 power, because I immediately was able to up my highest climbing grades. Obviously they hurt a bit to wear because I sized them down for a tight fit. (My 5.10 Anasazi VCS are snug @ size 41.5, I bought these in 41, so they are TIGHT.) So far they are holding up well, looking good, and performing wonderfully. Just got back from the RRG trip, and the shoes did great. For real though, they felt almost glued to the rock. I'll be interested to see how they wear out over time with such good rubber. Rubber over the toe and around the heel is great too! Toe & Heel hooks were SO NICE. I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat!
I'm 5'10", 180lb. I used to think us heavy guys needed a stiff shoe no matter what, not any more. These kicks have become my go-to for almost everything. I primarily boulder, outside, mainly. And I sport climb outside once a week. The way these turn your feet into hands, I want them on everything but the most edgy rigs. They pull harder than any shoe I've ever worn. I have a wide toe box and a narrow heel, the fit is perfect. Two things to know. First, they stretch like crazy. Not sure how a mostly synthetic shoe can do that, but count on 2-3 euro size stretch. Secondly, ya pay a price for this kind of sticky. They do wear out fast. However, it standard rubber wear. None of the bs velcro going out or stitching blowing like lots of other current brands. I send em in ... MoreI'm 5'10", 180lb. I used to think us heavy guys needed a stiff shoe no matter what, not any more. These kicks have become my go-to for almost everything.

The pair I wear in the gym last quite a bit longer.
I’ve had them for a few weeks and they have not worn much at all (I’ve been climbing like 15+ hours a week)I would recommend going down 1/2 to 1 size down from your normal shoe size.One of the downsides I initially thought I would have was that they only have one tightening point but I haven’t found that to be a problem.Conclusion: Glad I got these they have helped my climbing and I know that they will help me through the next couple grades + I can no longer blame the shoes on holding me back.

SCARPA Drago is the new shoe for high-level climbing and bouldering. The Vibram XS Grip 2 sole, the compound developed independently by SCARPA, is resistant and preforming, guarantees great grip and shape memory. In addition, the rubber cover also extends over the top of the tip, to allow you to hook overhanging toe.The split sole allows you to have great sensitivity and precision, and the Drago takes advantage of SCARPA's innovative PCB (Power Connection Band) technology. This system is based on the use of tensioned rubber bands that allow to unload the weight from the toe to the sole and to the back of the foot despite the absence of a full sole.
