My partner has been using Vapor Vs for the past 3 years and keeps going back to them every time. These climbing shoes are not only a great next step from flatter beginner shoes, but they can also be used further on your climbing journey. They are stiff ish shoes which means you can use them both indoors and outdoors, the velcro makes it easy to get in and out of them, which you will appreciate between climbs and the shoe tapers enough at the tip to provide stability on next to nothing foot holds. If you go for the appropriate size, this shoe will take a little bit of breaking into and getting used to but through the pain they will make for a great climbing companion.

Fit tip:
Good for a variety of types of feet
  • Relatively low volume FR last with a slightly asymmetrical and slightly downturned profile
  • Low toe profile and low volume shape adapts well to slim feet
  • Works for all climbing disciplines
  • Seven-panel construction with a seamless big toe area and low-profile panels on the other toes, ensuring a precise and customisable fit
  • Upper panels are made of a microfibre, while the lower panels are suede leather
  • Dual Velcro closure allows for an adjustable and easy fit
  • The Bi-Tension System extends from the toe to the arch, providing high flexibility with optimal tension
  • Full-length Dynamic Flexan insert, extending from heel to toe, for optimal force distribution across the entire foot
  • Vibram® XS Edge spread over 2/3 of the length, with a thickness of 3.5mm
  • Can be resoled to extend the life of your climbing shoes. It is best to do this before the wear and tear gets excessive to preserve the performance and prolong the life

Drago's are an excellent climbing shoe designed for experienced climbers needing an aggressive arch and great toe and heel stability. This is definitely no a good shoe for any beginner or people who are not ready to have a very tight fitting shoe.
This shoe does really well in slabs and overhangs but will wear very quickly when climbing vertical walls. In general, Drago's are not a hardwearing shoe as the rubber is soft, so don't expect this shoe to last you as long as your other climbing shoes.

Fit tip:
Extremely tight
  • FZ last: aggressive, downturned and highly asymmetric
  • Multi-panel upper (7) with seamless big toe panel and offset four toe stitch for the best custom moulding fit
  • Full microfibre upper with a single VELCRO® strap and a deep Y attachment for secure hooking
  • A high-stretch gusset allows easy entry
  • Minimal Flexan 1.0mm midsole insert lining with a floating big toe pad for ultimate sensitivity
  • PCB active randing system gives the shoe top-level flexibility but still maintains the shape of the shoe
  • SRT toe rand system with M50 rubber for unrivalled toe-hooking ability
  • Microsuede upper for a smooth and comfortable fit
  • Structural toe wrapped in sticky rubber (M50) for support and friction
  • 3.5mm 1/3 length Vibram® XS Grip 2 sole with a handcrafted 2mm Vibram® XS Grip 2 heel
