SURROUND RUBBER TENSION (SRT)
PCB-TENSION™ ACTIVE RAND
PCB-Tension system is SCARPA’s most minimalist tension system designed with prehensile foot movement and sensitivity in mind. Perfectly adapted to work with the SRT system, Power Connection Band gives the foot complete freedom by reducing layers around the foot and minimizing distance between the foot and sole rubber pad.
SURROUND RUBBER TENSION (SRT)
SURROUND RUBBER TENSION (SRT)
SRT is a layer of our ultra-soft M50 rubber that wraps around the forefoot and translates the power directly to the tips of the toes. It also provides maximum friction and sensitivity for toe-hooking. Climbing with soft shoes improves one’s climbing style and naturally strengthens toe power. The total freedom of foot placement stimulates a faster and more dynamic movement on rock or plastic.

    My favorite

    My favorite climbing shoe for the past couple of years. I may have downsized the last pair a bit too much, so I went up with this one and did not sacrifice performance. By far, some of the most comfortable shoes I have worn. Aggressive enough to work the steep and flexible enough for the slab. 10/10

    Going from VSRs to Dragos

    The Dragos are much more sensitive, better at smearing, and the high downturn makes them a bit better at toeing down on overhang. However, for small feet on vert/slab I would probably opt for a stiffer shoe.

    If you're coming from Instincts, don't expect the toebox to feel as comfortable, especially if you have wider feet and even-length toes. Your back 3 toes will be quite scrunched. But, with enough breaking-in, it starts to feel better.

    That being said, I would still downsize maybe a half size more from your Instinct size, as these seem to expand a little extra.

    2024 Limited Edition Drago

    I love these shoes so much! They are great on slabby walls and smearing, but can also stick tiny foot chips. They fit my foot great and are made of very high quality materials. Definitely my favourite climbing shoe!
