Scarpa DRAGO XT Climbing Shoes, Black - Iron, Size 37

The Scarpa DRAGO XT climbing shoes in Black - Iron are high-performance footwear engineered for precision and technical bouldering. These shoes feature a specialized seven-panel microfiber construction that provides an ultra-precise, customized fit, ensuring optimal sensitivity and grip on steep terrain and small holds. With an ergonomic design and advanced tension systems, they offer the support needed for demanding climbing sessions.

Advantages

The DRAGO XT utilizes the innovative PCB-Tension system, which minimizes layers between the foot and the sole to provide total freedom of movement while maintaining the shoe's shape. The integration of M50 rubber through the SRT Surround Rubber Tension system allows for exceptional toe hooks and maximum sensitivity across the forefoot. The Vibram XS Grip 2 sole ensures superior adhesion on edges and inclined holds, maintaining consistent performance across various temperatures. Furthermore, the microfiber upper and dual Velcro closure facilitate easy entry and secure compression, making these shoes a reliable choice for climbers seeking to improve their style and power.

Suitable for

• Technical bouldering on steep terrain
• Precision footwork on small holds
• Dynamic movements on artificial climbing walls
• Climbers requiring maximum sensitivity and toe-hooking capability

When it may not be suitable

These shoes are designed for high-performance, technical climbing and may not be suitable for beginners who require more rigid support or comfort for long periods of wear. Due to their soft construction and specialized tension systems, they are not intended for long-distance multi-pitch climbing or crack climbing where foot protection and stiffness are prioritized.

How to use

To put on the Scarpa DRAGO XT, loosen the dual Velcro straps and slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring the heel is properly seated. Adjust the straps to achieve a snug, secure fit that compresses the foot without causing excessive discomfort. Because these shoes are designed for high sensitivity, ensure they are worn tightly to allow the M50 rubber and SRT system to function effectively during toe hooks and edge placements.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the size 37 fits your foot shape, as these are performance-fit shoes.
• Consider that the soft rubber compound is optimized for grip and may wear faster than harder compounds.
• Check the availability of authorized resole centers to extend the lifespan of your footwear.

Usage recommendations: To preserve the performance and longevity of your Scarpa DRAGO XT shoes, we recommend having them resoled at an official SCARPA resole shop before the wear reaches the midsole. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain the integrity of the rubber compounds.
