Drago XT

The Drago XT is a retuning of the iconic Drago LV, utilising a new last, heel design and twin-strap closure, to create a powerful and responsive climbing shoe.

Drago lovers will find similar fit characteristics, rigidity and the wrap-around SRT (Surround Rubber Tension) construction, that’s become an indispensable asset within the competition style climbing arena - giving a glove-like fit and extended high performance M50 rubber coverage, along with unrivalled feedback and reactivity during dynamic transitions.

While one of the narrower models in the range, the toe box and heel offer a little more depth than that of its siblings. The twin-strap closure improves stretch control through the shoe’s lifespan and also gives the option to cinch in the midfoot; ideal for those who historically had a little too much volume in the standard or LV models.

The IHC (Integrated Heel Construction) heel features an entirely new construction and rubber compound - the stickiest yet in the heel of a shoe! Through a painstaking prototype phase, numerous iterations came and went until we hit upon this unique combination of component shape and tensioning construction to create a heel with an unprecedented fit and no constructional gaps in the sticky rubber outer.

Improved compression, stretch control and heel performance define this welcome addition to the Drago series.

These are just for general guidance as we can't guarantee a good fit unless you come in store, unfortunately!

If you are new to rock shoes, we HIGHLY recommend either using hire shoes for a few sessions or getting to a local shop to try some on. If that isn't possible, then give us a call or drop us an email! We can offer you a bit of advice from our years of experience.

If you are used to rock shoes, this guidance should help you to reach a good fit. This is still not guaranteed as everybody has different shaped feet: wide, narrow, high volume, low volume, long toes, short toes, bunions, heel spurs and all the rest. The very best thing to do is make your excuses and take a trip to come see us in North Wales. You can get some proper shoes, heaps of shiny kit and most importantly - out on real rock!
