Love Scarpa!

Scarpa makes an excellent durable aggressive shoe, good quality rubber; sizes typically run slightly small -at least on the Drago- which makes for a very snug fit. This is my competition climber son's 4th pair, a record as he usually gets dissatisfied and changes brands. 3rd pair is at the resolers!

amazing, the best!

I love them all around, good hardness, but smear well too. Great all around shoe, regardless of being very downturned.

Comfy aggressive sticky shoe....finally!

Holy mackerel these are awesome! These climbing shoes are very comfortable, yet are still aggressive and sticky. I have pretty skinny feet and finding a show that fits correctly has been difficult. My boy friend has a pair of genius's and a pair of boostic's that I ended up not being able to wear because they were too uncomfortable. I have a pair of red chilis that fit like a dream but they are not sticky or aggressive. Climbing 5.10's and 11's I needed something that would stay on the tiny chips. I wear a women's 9, and I bought a 42. My toes are only slightly curved and most would wear them smaller, but I can leave these on the whole time I climb and I like them this way. My boy friend wears a size 10 and he says they are his size also, but he wears his shoes tight. Upper has a lot of rubber but it is very flexible and soft. Sole is not hard, but not as soft as the lasportiva genius's, I would say a medium hardness. My genius's had a lot of extra space/volume in the top, and these only have a little.

Toes broke through after 3 months of casual climbing

My 42 year old son had his eyes on these climbing shoes for a long time, so I bought them for him at Christmas. He was over the moon with them initially. Within 3 months, the toes were wearing through. So disappointed

After 20+ years, my favorite shoe

I've worn a whole lot of climbing shoes over the past 20 years of climbing and these are my favorite. I'm on my 6th or 7th pair now. But, know that this is a very soft, sensitive shoe. If you are a brand-new beginner, have less-strong toes, or like to stand on tiny edges with no effort, look somewhere else. I also find that while this shoe can be downsized aggressively because it's pretty soft, that you don't really need to do that to get great performance.

Ruined after a four months

After having this shoe for four months and climbing roughly once a week, the shoes are already ruined. I’m a casual climber and heard good things about this brand. Unfortunately, these only lasted 4 months and I cannot even get them re-soled. I do not recommend these short lived shoes.
