DRAGONTAIL LT EVO

Wore these scrambling up a granite slab and the rubber bit into the rock so well I stopped thinking about my feet. The low cut keeps my ankles free but the toe box still feels locked in on small edges. Two months in and the tread is barely showing wear.

These low-cuts feel like they’re glued to the rock on technical footwork, and the tread really earns its keep on steep granite. I’ve worn them for three rough scrambles and they’re still snug without any break-in pain. Exactly what I wanted for precise climbing.

The tread on these bit into slabby sandstone way better than the old pair I retired. Edges are stiff enough to stand on small footholds without my toes cramping up. Did a six mile approach and never once felt sketchy on the downclimb.
