Mad Rock Drone HV 2.0 Climbing Shoe

Product Description: The Drone 2 HV is the next generation of the Mad Rock Drone, offering even greater comfort and advanced technology. With its downturned and asymmetrical profile, this shoe delivers precision and power for vertical climbs. The 3D molded heel keeps you secure and allows for easy hooking, smearing, and jamming. The upper is made from stretch materials to ensure comfort, and it features a molded toe box and heel for added support. The HV version is designed for higher volume feet, while the LV version is available for those with smaller heels.

Mad Rock Technology: Science Friction 3.0 Our new Science Friction 3.0 compound is a significant milestone for Mad Rock. It is more durable and offers higher friction than our previous formulas. This is achieved by increasing the tear strength and memory of the compound. Science Friction 3.0 is used in components like the 3D Hooking Heel, 3D Concave Sole, and all of our rock shoe soles.

Patented Concave Sole: Our innovative and patented Concave Sole allows climbers to use their feet like hands. It provides optimal grip on overhangs and improves support on tiny holds and edges.

Arch Flex Support: Our Arch Flex system utilizes a 1.8mm thick R2 rand rubber formula to give our high-performance shoes a comfortable, glove-like fit. The elastic property of the R2 formula hugs and locks your foot in place without causing pain.

3D Molded Heel Cup: Our 3D Molded Heel Cup is the best hooking heel ever created. It features grooves for improved hooking ability and ensures that your heel stays secure.

General Rule of Thumb for beginners: - Comfortable is too large - Painful is too tight - Uncomfortable is perfect

Choosing the right size: Finding a pair of rock shoes that fits well is crucial. Leather upper shoes may stretch over time, while lined and synthetic upper shoes are less likely to stretch. Sizing varies between brands, so numerical sizes should be used as a guideline. As climbing level increases, a tighter fit is often desired for enhanced precision and control.

Climbing is Our Passion: Mad Rock's goal has always been to provide sophisticated designs and materials at a fair price. We believe that climbing should be enjoyed by everyone, and we strive to offer the best gear at an affordable price.

The Science of Friction: Science Friction 3.0 is our most durable rubber, capable of performing at high levels. It is featured in products like the Shark III, Drone 2, and Rover.
