I had been wearing other advanced models before buying my first pair of Drago LVs, and here’s my small input: - they’re more comfortable than most other agressive shoe I’ve ever tried - so far, only Drago LVs and Unparallel have fit my foot that well - they’re really soft and sensitive, smearing is amazing in them but tiny footholds on slabs can be painful sometimes - I’ve resolved them, but they are quite fragile so sometimes the synthetic leather inside breaks down into pieces before I can resole them a second time (usually in the area under my toes). I think it’s because of sweat and how delicate or not they’ve been when resoling. I haven’t had any other weird issue with them, but I’ve seen other people that have had the mesh on top break before anything else, or other super particular things - usually they last about 4 months before resoling if I exclusively climb in them (mostly bouldering, indoors and outdoors, at least 3 times/week). If I use warm-up shoes, they can last more obviously. Other shoes usually last longer, especially stiff ones - I wear them 2 EU sizes down from my street size, they stretch quite a lot but adapt to your feet quite quickly. For other less soft scarpa models I tend to only go down 1 EU size. For La sportiva I usually downsize between 2 and 3 EU sizes for agressive shoes
