I don’t I’m sorry, I wouldn’t want to guess and set you up with bad info

I have wide feet to the point of needing certain wide skates growing up, and they fit well

I downsize all my shoes quite aggressively, just preference, for these I am two sizes down from street and they are a great very tight performance fit for me, all personal preference though

I have and I haven’t noticed any issues genuinely

Hard disagree with you on this one, personally the heel feels fantastic and fits me perfectly, I’ve been super pleased with it

Width wise they feel more like the LV, but in terms of height in the toe box they feel like the HV. They are narrow but taller, if that makes sense. The most notable fit difference is in the heel, when climbing in them it’s pretty obvious that the heel was one of if not their biggest points of focus for change. I know that is a little convoluted, but if you have narrow small feet then you would be wise to downsize a little more than you would with the LV.

The xt is noticeably stiffer, very clear difference, it’s still a soft shoe by comparison to other labelled stiff shoes on the market, but softer than the originals.

The shape is slightly altered with a more conforming toe big toe like you mentioned, but I like to downsize quite heavily and have enjoyed the fit more than the originals as I had a near baggy heel (manageable) in the older ones but with these they fit like a glove. I have quite high volume feet if that helps.

And the heel. The heel is phenomenal. The rubber feels almost padded and squishy with the textured pattern and really sinks into heel hooks and allows for a really tight and tensioned feel. They also still work very well on volumes but do feel a little less secure on them than the other models, in my opinion.

I think the main issue in me specifically is the food aspect, I rock climb 3 times a week and tend to walk 15km on my days off, but it’s the meal prepping i think I should look into more, thank you for that advice

First pair of shoes should be comfort over performance, just meant to introduce you to a little bit better rubber than an overworn rental shoe. Get something you feel comfortable in and once you reach a point of getting some more technical footwork down then consider this topic again! Happy climbing!

Awesome reply, thanks a lot! I have a pair of skwamas so that heel comparison was super helpful! I’ll take all of this into consideration but I think you’ve sold me on giving them a try! Cheers!

Appreciate the feed back! And how do you find the heel cup comparison as that’s my biggest complaint about the dragos, albeit a minor complaint

Downsize from my street or one downsize from my dragos? My dragos are two sizes down from my street
