Fitwise I can tell you it is actually like a comfortable Drago. Not just a bit more comfortable, but actually properly comfortable. I have a wide(ish) toebox and quite a narrow heel, so the Dragos to me were simply crushing my toes way too much. The Solution Comps were loose in the heel, and the Skwamas vere a bit to stiff. A bit more expensive than other high performance shoe, yes. But, I see the added value already paying dividends in terms of pure comfort. And I haven't even finished breaking them in........
I tried them on and they fit perfect. I’m waiting for some good reviews and comparison with the dragos which don’t fit that perfect but still great. I hope you make the video soon 😅
I think it's a "fair" comparison to do it with the Scarpa Drago because it's the shoe that's widely used and dominating in the comp circuit nowadays but the shoe is more designed as Theory 2.0 because the whole La Sportiva range is now very old and doesn't follow that well the new needs for comp style bouldering. Also, buy yourself a wrist widget instead of taping, as a fragile wrists people myself, it always makes me giggles when climbers have 200$+ shoes at their feet and are picky about a 20$ thing that's reusable for months/years and just way better than taping haha ! I've bought two (because I usually injure both of them 🙃a year ago and they're still in very good shape after 6-8 months of wearing for every session (did I already said that I injure them often ?)
@@uncommonsimon5775 It's not. I had issues with heel depth with every other pair of shoes I tried, especially the Skwamas. No issue with the Ondra Comps.
Put the price... For sure a good shoe, but the shoes are not the limiting factor to climb higher grades these days. Even with random five ten aka adidas they climb 9a boulders. But yes, nice shoes 😊
Depending on what you climb it definitely helps a lot to have the right shoes and you will definitely have a hard time using very hard shoes on a (compstyle) slab compared to a drago or ondra comp. Or using a super soft shoe on tiny sharp edges outdoor. I also wouldn’t say five ten are random shoes. Yes the price of the ondra comp is relatively high right now but in a few months the price will probably drop and then it will cost around the same as scarpa dragos or five ten hiangles😊
Love the video. The Ondra comps look so sick and I'd love to know how these compare against the Dragos fit and performance wise.

So. I Bought them 2 weeks ago ;-) how do you like them? I like them a lot ;-)
Hi, have they stretched out?
Could I ask which La Sportiva shoe the heel on the Ondra Comp you would compare it to ? Or maybe which scarpa ?
A more supportive and comfortable Theory, I would say.
@@abastidas97 mhm I see i just hope the heel depth isn't as high and that it just fits better 😅 and is better for jumping on volumes
