The total freedom of foot placement stimulates a faster and more dynamic movement on rock or plastic. Climbing with soft shoes improves one’s climbing style and naturally strengthens toe power. The both have a significant coverage of rubber so you need feet used to a certain 'pressure' AKA 'pain'. IVS are a bit more all-round, while the Drago are ment for bouldering or when a very soft shoe is needed. It also provides maximum friction and sensitivity for toe-hooking. The Instinct VS have a significant different last than Drago.

SRT is a layer of our ultra-soft M50 rubber that wraps around the forefoot and translates the power directly to the tips of the toes. The holes on the side of the heel indicate the tension applied, which varies between 1 hole for light tension, 2 holes for mid tension and 3 holes for strong tension. Le scarpette da arrampicata Chimera di Scarpa sono realizzate con materiali e tecnologie innovative.

The Active Rand rubber is interrupted behind the heel to reduce pressure on the achilles tendon and connected with 2mm XS GRIP2 rubber, that works like a bridge and allows full adaption to the shape of the heel while still providing dynamic forward pressure to focus power over the big toe. Asymmetric lacing opens Drago performance to a narrower footĪF (Pressure Absorbing Fit) is an innovative heel system that helps both spread the force of the heel tension and increase the fit of the heel.SRT structural toe wrap in M50 rubber provides support and friction.Vibram® XS Grip2 makes these shoes stick like glue.TPS provides powerful support underneath the toe box.PCB-Tension™ active rand provides a lightweight power transfer directly to the big toe.The Chimera is a perfect choice for sport climbs and boulders that feature a variety of climbing angles. The combo of the SRT toe-wrap and strategically placed asymmetric lacing system allow for excellent toe hooking capabilities while also providing a high range of adjustability for a variety of climber's foot shapes and volumes. The Chimera strikes the perfect blend between power and sensitivity: PCB-Tension™ active rand allows the climber the grab with their feet like an extra set of hands on steep overhangs, while the TPS insert provides edging power and underfoot support when you transition onto more vertical terrain with smaller footholds. This fine-tuned model features a handcrafted multi-panel upper, rubber-wrapped forefoot, aggressively downturned profile and asymmetrical shape with full-length off-set lace closure.

The new Chimera represents the peak of our current abilities in climbing shoe construction and state of the art materials.
