Scarpa Drago LV Sapatos de Escalada - Branco - EU 40.5

On a steep boulder problem where every foot placement feels shakey, the Scarpa Drago LV delivers the aggressive precision advanced climbers demand. Built on a highly downturned, asymmetric last, this low-volume shoe converts toe pressure into confident holds on overhanging terrain. The white microsuede upper masks the serious performance inside — a shoe designed for brutal toe hooks and delicate smears.

Why choose it

The Drago LV takes Scarpa’s beloved Drago and wraps it around a lower-volume foot. The Flexan midsole transmits force directly to the toes, while the Vibram XS Grip 2 rubber sticks like gum on polished volumes. The PAF heel system absorbs pressure without deadening feedback, so heel hooks feel secure and precise. This is a high-performance weapon for boulderers and sport climbers who want nothing between their foot and the rock.

Ideal use cases

• Bouldering in aggressive, overhanging terrain
• Sport climbing on steep, technical routes
• Toe hooking and heel hooking on modern problems
• Climbers with narrow or low-volume feet

Good to know

This shoe runs small and is designed for an extremely snug, performance fit. Many climbers size down half a size from their street shoe. The unlined synthetic upper stretches slightly with use, so expect a break-in period. If your feet are wide or high-volume, this LV version might feel too tight — consider the standard Drago instead. The white upper will show dirt quickly, but that's a badge of honour for a shoe meant to be used hard.
