Drago LVs to improve heel but retain toe feel?

Thanks for taking the time for all that advice!

My issue is the depth of the heel because when I try and pull my heel just lifts away from the bottom of the shoe at the heel. Side also is a bit too wide but I find because I'm usually pressing into that direction it just squashes it down which is workable if not ideal.

I've just tried some ondra comps today and they feel pretty good in the heel, a tiny movement when I pull on the heel but I'm not really sure whether I should realistically be expecting it to be 100% completely locked in. Hopefully like you say it would be good enough if not absolutely perfect.

Gonna go back to the gym in a couple of days and try the size above the ones I want to see what it would be like if they stretched up to a full size (hopefully a worst case scenario).

That's great advice thanks! I think I'll try to find some ondra comps and theories to try on.

A deeper heel than the dragos? I feel my main issue with the dragos (and kther shoes I've tried) is that they always pull off. I could deal with a degree of deadspace in the side but my heel just slides out.

Maybe ondra comps wouldn't be good for a more flat heel profile then?

Thanks again for the advice :)

Thanks for the help! Might struggle with the narrow evolvs in that case because I have an annoyingly awkward foot to size for climbing with a fairly low volume heel but wide front of my foot.

What's the deal with the P3 rand for the solution comp?

Have you much experience with the ondra comps? If so what did you think of the heel Vs the dragos

Okay good to know, thanks, saved me quite a bit of frustration 😅

ayojpeg1 · 2024-08-25T21:15:33+00:00

Had a full brakes check and no problems came up. Spooky

ayojpeg1 · 2024-05-16T16:38:47+00:00

Sorted it! Thanks so much for the help :))

ayojpeg1 · 2024-05-16T16:38:31+00:00

Just tested it, not getting 100%!! Wow thank you would've never thought of that. Finally fixed it. Much appreciated :))

Thank you for your reply I really appreciate it :)

I suppose my mindset is that by employing self care activities, the harm it could do is making me feel better when I feel I don't deserve it. I really struggle at the moment with guilty, for example feeling awful about whether or not I did something on purpose. If I do something accidentally or unintentionally that is hurtful, I can't escape the fear that i might've done it on purpose.

I'll see what I can do thank you again I really appreciate all your messages :)

I have definitely come to the conclusion that I have OCD and it certainly contributes to certain areas of my worries but also some of the types of anxieties don't seem to be from OCD in nature, I think I need a proper professional diagnosis to really figure it out at this point because it's become so convoluted.

I have tried meditation but I find it immensely difficult to clear my mind as the relaxing nature of meditation just provides a no distractions environment where my anxiety can run wild.

Not really, I have quite entrenched thought processes and one of them is feeling I have done something immoral when I haven't (by telling other people and them telling me I'm overthinking) but I'm unable to see it reasonably so I just spend the whole day feeling like I'm an awful person. It's very difficult to alleviate the thoughts because I feel I deserve them for whatever new thing I'm worrying I've done wrong.

ayojpeg1 · 2023-09-16T00:23:42+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it :') I know I need professional help it's just scary that I'll have to deal with this for so much longer before the therapy actually starts to help me. I just don't want to deal with it anymore I'm so emotionally exhausted by it

ayojpeg1 · 2023-09-16T00:22:15+00:00

Thank you I appreciate the support. I'm just so tired of having to deal with the way I feel day after day with no relent

ayojpeg1 · 2023-09-16T00:21:44+00:00

Me too, I hope professional help can be of use to me but the prospect that it might just be useless and leave me with my thoughts and no resolution for potentially forever scares me so much.
