Best soft climbing shoes ever

I have two pairs of the old style, these seem to run a 1/4 size bigger for the same size, climbed in Kalymnos not having broke in and they performed amazing. Bought a Second our when I got back since they were still on-sale

Soft!

Scarpa fan, guilty as charged. I have had Dragos, Magos and now Chimeras. My hope was that this shoe would be the love-child of the aforementioned, but the Chimera has ended up a bit short of that expectation. These were billed as stiffer than the Dragos, but with all the sensitivity they are known for. These are not stiffer than the Dragos in my opinion. The sensitivity is certainly there and I love it. Unfortunately, there is this weird dead space in the heal that is a nightmare. All of my other Scarpas do not have this and they fit/feel amazing. To be clear, the heel still works, but there is the dead-space that exists, so, not ideal. Good fun on overhung routes at Red Rocks and punchy routes at NJC.

It's like taking drago and putting the classic boosting heel in it. Making it slightly less soft and a bit more asymmetrical. If you liked drago you are going to love these, I mostly use them indoors and they have been doing magic. I lost a pair on the subway and got a second pair. Downsized by half a size...
