Why choose SCARPA Drago climbing shoes for bouldering and technical climbing?

If SCARPA has established itself as a reference in the world of high-level climbing, the Drago range of climbing shoes embodies perhaps better than any other the very essence of pure performance. Originally designed to meet the demands of bouldering and technical climbing, this family of shoes places flexibility, sensitivity, and grip at the heart of its DNA.

Drago, the flagship model: flexibility, sensitivity, and power at the service of climbers

An ultra-flexible construction for maximum precision

With the Drago, the flagship model of the range, SCARPA has opted for an ultra-flexible and decidedly asymmetric construction. The cambered shape, Vibram XS Grip 2 sole, and PCB technology, which ensures direct power transmission between the foot and the toe, make it a formidable weapon on the most demanding boulders. Every detail, from the enveloping heel to the shoe's responsiveness, has been designed to allow for the most technical movements, where the balance between precision and adherence makes all the difference. It is a shoe that responds to the slightest signal from the foot, a true extension of the body for those looking to push their limits on modern profiles.

SCARPA Drago LV: the climbing shoe for narrow feet without compromising performance

SCARPA then adapted this model into the Drago LV version, to meet the expectations of climbers with narrower feet. The fit is more snug, particularly at the heel, while retaining the key qualities of the original model. This morphological adaptation allows for all the power and precision of the Drago, but with an even more refined fit, essential for climbers who need perfect support during compression phases or complex hooking.

Drago Kid: a technical climbing shoe designed for ambitious young climbers

Because performance does not wait for age, the range also includes a model specially designed for the youngest: the Drago Kid. True to the spirit of its elders, this shoe maintains a high level of technicality while adapting to the morphology of children's feet. It is a real performance shoe, not just a scaled-down model, and it offers young climbers a tool that matches their ambition and progression.

New for 2025: SCARPA Drago XT, the high-performance evolution for modern climbing

The summer of 2025 marks a turning point in the evolution of this range with the arrival of the brand new Drago XT. This model pushes the limits of what a high-level climbing shoe can offer even further. Its redesigned toe provides a sharper fit, while the double velcro ensures a firm hold without sacrificing ease of putting on. The addition of a heel covered with laser-engraved rubber significantly improves performance in hooking, a detail that will make all the difference in the most demanding passages. The Drago XT is a concentrate of precision, power, and sensitivity, tailored for high-level bouldering and modern sport climbing.
