The Drone 2 LV is the organic evolution of the Mad Rock Drone. Still performing at exceptional levels, with greater comfort, the Drone 2 boasts technology bursting at the seams. Its downturned and asymmetrical profile helps deliver both precision and power as the problem goes past vertical, while the 3D molded heel keeps you locked in and able to hook, smear, and jam easily.
The upper of the shoe features stretch materials to keep comfort high, and alongside the molded toe box and heel and with more support from the Arch Flex, keeps the shoe snug without being painful. The LV model accommodates slightly lower volume feet, while we also have the HV version available for those with larger heels and higher volume on foot.

General Rule of Thumb for beginners:
- Comfortable is too large
- Painful is too tight
- Uncomfortable is perfect
The most important factor to consider when choosing any rock shoes is finding a pair that fits well. Remember that leather upper shoes are likely to stretch over time (mostly in lateral width), while lined and synthetic upper shoes are not likely to stretch much at all.
Climbing shoe sizing varies from brand to brand and, just to confuse the issue, often from model to model within a brand. Use numerical sizes purely as a guideline. As a rule of thumb, the level of shoe discomfort increases proportionately to an increase in climbing "level". This is primarily a result of molding the foot into as firm and precise an appendage as possible in an effort to eliminate "roll" (due mainly to weak feet or the shoe is too big and rolling around your foot) and increase sensitivity (sensual feedback) and pinpoint control.

These shoes are not the cheapest but will make a big difference to an indoor climber who takes climbing serious.
