Scarpa Drago LV

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• Active Randing

  The Bi-Tension Active Randing System is a tensioned rubber that extends backwards on both sides of the shoe to the heel. It keeps the tension under the toes right into the arch of the foot and promises maximum flexibility and optimum resilience.

• PCB-TENSION

  "The most minimalist of all tensioning systems developed in 2013 for maximum grip and sensitivity. In perfect coordination with the SRT system, the Power Connection Band ensures minimal material thickness between foot and sole and allows absolute freedom of movement."

• SRT

  "The key technology of the Soft Line models Chimera, Drago and Furia S": "An extremely soft M50 rubber layer envelops the entire forefoot and ensures maximum sensitivity and grip, especially when toe hooking. Those who use soft shoes like these improve their climbing style, as the power transmission is naturally concentrated on the tips of the toes. SRT allows the foot to develop freely on the wall and supports fast, dynamic movements on rock and artificial walls."

• PAF

  "An innovative heel construction that optimizes force distribution and reduces pressure on the Achilles tendon. Made possible by a softer rubber cover that connects the two instep wings and adapts perfectly to the shape of the foot. The number of holes in the rubber indicates the degree of tension": "1 hole = low voltage, 2 holes = medium, 3 holes = maximum."

• M50 Rubber

  "The softest rubber compound in our range has been developed to adapt to the shape of the foot and toes. Developed in collaboration with Davosu00eae, it has a Shore A hardness of 50 and impresses with its high adaptability. These properties are particularly impressive when used for the SRT system, toe cap reinforcements and specific applications on the upper shoe."

• RESOLEABLE

  "This shoe can be repaired in one of the official SCARPA Resole stores. We recommend a repair before the wear becomes too severe to maintain performance and extend the life of your shoe or boot. View the full list of authorized centers on the store locator."

• XS-GRIP2

  "The further development of the tried-and-tested Vibram XS GRIP compound, as used by top athletes":"inside is used for bouldering. It offers noticeably better grip and high compactness, perfect for precise climbing on edges and slightly steep footholds. The performance remains constant in all temperatures. The ideal choice when maximum grip is required."
