Climbing shoes Scarpa DRAGO size 39, yellow, 200 g (pair weight)

The Scarpa DRAGO in size 39 and yellow colour is a high-sensitivity climbing shoe built from seven upper components combining microfiber and leather. Seams are arranged to avoid overlaps for improved comfort. The shoe fastens with a Velcro strap anchored at two points to the buckle for precise adjustment, and an internal elastic gusset eases entry and improves fit adaptability. The midsole includes a 1 mm Flexan insert for enhanced toe sensitivity, while a Vibram® XS GRIP 2 outsole covers approximately one third of the shoe length with a 3.5 mm thickness and a handcrafted heel patch of the same compound at 2 mm thickness.

Advantages

Designed for maximum flexibility and sensitivity, the DRAGO uses the PCB-Tension system to retain shape while allowing freedom of movement. The SRT Surround Rubber system with soft M50 rubber wraps the forefoot to increase toe-hook performance and foot contact on holds. Lightweight construction and precise Velcro closure deliver a snug, adaptable fit suitable for dynamic climbing.

Suitable for

• Bouldering on small edges and technical problems
• Sport climbing requiring precise toe work and toe hooks
• Indoor gym sessions focused on dynamic movement and sensitivity

When it may not be suitable

Because the shoe prioritises sensitivity, softness and a tight fit, it may be less suitable for long multi-pitch routes or approaches where cushioning and ankle support are important. Users who need a very stiff sole or considerable underfoot protection might prefer a different, more supportive model.

How to use

Put the shoe on by loosening the Velcro strap and using the internal elastic gusset to ease foot entry. Tighten the Velcro strap to achieve a close, secure fit that keeps the toes engaged on footholds while preserving comfort. Use these shoes for sessions where sensitivity, precise edging and toe-hooking are required; their soft profile encourages active foot placement and dynamic movement.

What to consider before purchase

• Fit: this model is designed for a close, performance-oriented fit—consider sizing and personal comfort preferences
• Intended use: best for bouldering, sport climbing and gym climbing where sensitivity and toe control matter
• Resoling: the shoe can be resoled at authorised centres to extend service life

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the Scarpa DRAGO for short, technical sessions and bouldering problems to exploit its sensitivity and toe-hooking advantages; re-sole before significant outsole wear to preserve performance.
