SCARPA Drago XT Climbing Shoes - Black/Iron - EU 42

Aggressive bouldering and steep sport climbing demand a shoe that can deliver precision on micro-edges and power through overhangs. The SCARPA Drago XT answers that call with a highly downturned, asymmetric profile that locks your foot into a powerful position, while the soft, sensitive construction lets you feel every ripple of the rock. The single Z-strap closure provides a secure, adjustable fit, and the Vibram XS Grip 2 outsole with 3.5mm thickness offers exceptional friction and durability on both indoor volumes and outdoor projects. Whether you're campusing through a roof or toe-hooking a razor edge, the Drago XT gives you the confidence to push your limits.

Who is it for

This shoe is built for intermediate to advanced climbers who specialize in bouldering, steep sport routes, and indoor climbing.

Tips

For optimal performance, size the Drago XT snugly—many climbers choose a half to full size down from their street shoe for a precise, high-performance fit. The synthetic upper will stretch minimally, so expect a consistent fit over time. To extend the life of the Vibram XS Grip 2 outsole, avoid walking on abrasive surfaces and consider resoling before the rand is exposed. Allow the shoes to air dry after sessions to maintain the microsuede upper and prevent odor buildup.
