DRAGO LV

Regular price $259.00 CAD
(19 Reviews)

For climbers with lower-volume feet who rely on sensitivity and friction on steep terrain, the Drago LV delivers powerful control with a glove-like fit. Designed for bouldering and comp-style movement, it brings the same responsive softness as the original Drago, refined for a lower volume foot. The microsuede upper adapts closely to the foot, enhancing feel on volumes and sloping holds, while the PCB-Tension™ active platform drives power into the toe for exact placements on micro-features. A full Vibram® XS Grip 2 outsole provides elite friction indoors and out, and the SRT toe wrap boosts hooking performance and smear sensitivity.

 

With a PAF heel, high-coverage rand, and low-volume fit that locks the foot securely without dead space, the Drago LV turns subtle footwork into confident movement on steep problems and technical sequences.

 

  • Microsuede upper gives lower-volume feet a close, precise, low-stretch fit.
  • PCB-Tension™ system channels power into the forefoot for exact placements on steep terrain.
  • Vibram® XS Grip 2 outsole delivers high-friction performance on rock and resin.
  • SRT toe wrap enhances toe-hooking control and improves sensitivity on smears.
  • PAF heel and extended rand secure hooks and maintain shape through repeated use.

 

The Drago LV provides soft sensitivity, powerful toe control, and a precise low-volume fit for your steepest boulders.

Feature PRESSURE ABSORBING FIT (PAF) SYSTEM
PRESSURE ABSORBING FIT (PAF) SYSTEM
PAF (Pressure Absorbing Fit) is an innovative heel system that helps both spread the force of the heel tension and increase the fit of the heel. The Active Rand rubber is interrupted behind the heel to reduce pressure on the achilles tendon and connected with 2mm XS GRIP2 rubber, that works like a bridge and allows full adaption to the shape of the heel while still providing dynamic forward pressure to focus power over the big toe. The holes on the side of the heel indicate the tension applied, which varies between 1 hole for light tension, 2 holes for mid tension and 3 holes for strong tension.
Feature REDUCED VOLUME
REDUCED VOLUME
The reduced volume of the Drago LV was carefully studied and mapped around the last. Not to be confused with a WMN version, the Drago LV was aimed at a user with a longer more narrow and flatter foot. This was primarily found to be men.

    My go-to shoe

    The Drago LVs are one of my favourite ever shoes. They’re always my go-to for indoor climbing and training - and outdoors if I’m looking for a little more sensitivity. Steep and slab, heel hooking, toe hooking, and small edges, this shoe can pretty much do it all.

    Yes the rubber is quite soft but even as a professional climber and wearing them every session mine will last for months of training before getting holes.

    I wear a 38, the same size as my Instincts. For reference my street shoes are a 41.

    Favorite soft shoe on the market!

    These are hands down my favorite shoe for bouldering, steep sport climbing, and gym/board climbing. They fit my foot like a glove and you can feel them molding to the rock every time you stand on or toe into a foot hold. While I would choose a stiffer shoe for vertical terrain or more technical edging, the Dragos work wonders for heel hooks, toe hooks, smearing, and steep climbing. They also feel durable despite the softer rubber. As far as sizing - I size them about the same as an Instinct. For example, if I was looking for a performance fit, I would choose 39.5 of both although I could probably go another half size down in the Drago because it is a softer rubber. As far as fit - I have a wider toe box and really like the fit of the Instinct, but I still went with the LV Drago and am happy with that choice. Overall, would definitely recommend!

    Loved regular Dragos and these fit me even better!

    I've gone through 3 pairs of Dragos before getting LVs and they fit me even better! If you tried regular Dragos and have some extra space around the heel or on top of your foot these will solve that. 0.5 size downsized works perfectly for me.
