Five Ten originally designed the Dragon VCS Climbing Shoe with input from some of the strongest, most imaginative boulderers around, and now it's back for new seasons of challenging projects and first ascents. This climbing shoe's downturn is more aggressive than most of Five Ten's climbing shoes, and its combination of a stiff toe and forgiving heel provides a stable, supportive platform for steep to overhung terrain. The Stealth HF rubber sole optimizes grip on the same terrain. Five Ten made the upper out of soft microfiber for reduced stretching, and the extended toe rand excels at toe hooking.

I love these bouldering/sport climbing here in SLC and in the gym as well! They really won't stretch once you get them. I am usually an 8.5 street shoe, and got an 8.5 in these as well. They fit tight for sure, but I love the close fit. I feel like I can edge on anything now.

Not exactly the same as the previous dragons, but a similar toebox feel and a much deeper heel. Still very pointy, soft, and sticky. Sizing is approx 1/2 size bigger than the original lace-ups - i.e. size 9.5 Dragon VCS = size 10 Dragon Pre-2019. These have become my go-to shoe for general gym climbing, the moonboard, Rifle, Joe's Valley - feel great on everything!
