Product description
Professional climbing shoes with a special toe rubber
The Drone Low Volume 2.0 from Mad Rock are climbing shoes for specialists. With a very large and extremely grippy toe rubber, they’re ideal for technical bouldering and climbing.
Aggressive construction
The shoes have an aggressive last with a strong downturn. The special concave sole shape transfers power efficiently to the toes for precise and stable footing on the smallest of footholds.
Grippy sole
The proven medium-density Science Friction 3.0 rubber outsole provides excellent grip and makes it easier to stand on friction. It’s also extremely durable.
Narrow fit
The Low Volume version of the Drone 2.0 has a slightly more compact toe box and a narrower heel area. This makes this model particularly suitable for climbers and boulderers with narrow feet.
For ambitious climbers and boulderers
The Drone Low Volume 2.0 are the perfect shoes for ambitious climbers and boulderers looking for equipment for very technical routes with lots of hooks.

These are the best climbing shoes I’ve ever had, mainly because they don’t stretch. I’ve been using them for a year now, about five times a week, mostly indoors (Picture = 1 year of usage). The best quality of the Mad Rock Drone 2 is that they’re made as a single piece, which prevents them from stretching. They gradually mold to your foot, although it does take about two months before they become truly comfortable.
Compared to La Sportiva Skwama's, which stretched about two sizes after a year of use, these show no signs of stretching so far. My regular shoe size is 42.5, and I bought the Mad Rocks in size 42. The toe sensitivity is excellent, and they provide a very secure heel hook.
Comp climbers might even consider going down up to 1 size , but in that case, you’ll likely need to take them off frequently between climbs.
