Climbing Shoe for Drones: Mad Rock Drone HV 2.0

The Drone 2 HV is the organic evolution of the Mad Rock Drone, still performing at exceptional levels but with greater comfort. Boasting technology bursting at the seams, the Drone 2's downturned and asymmetrical profile helps deliver both precision and power as the problem goes past vertical, while the 3D molded heel keeps you locked in and able to hook, smear, and jam easily.

The upper of the shoe features stretch materials to keep comfort high, and alongside the molded toe box and heel and with more support from the Arch Flex, keeps the shoe snug without being painful. The HV model accommodates slightly higher volume feet, while the LV version is available for those with smaller heels and less volume on foot.

Mad Rock's innovative and patented Concave Sole allows climbers to utilize their feet as they would their hands. Concave Soles are optimal for grabbing at holds while climbing on overhangs, and also help to create a sharper edge and better support for standing on tiny holds and edges. The Arch Flex system, utilizing the 1.8mm thick R2 rand rubber formula, gives our high-performance shoes an unbelievably comfortable, glove-like fit, with the elastic property in the R2 formula hugging and locking your foot into place without the pain associated with other high-performance shoes.

The best hooking heel ever created, the 3D Molded Heel Cup features grooves to improve hooking ability and ensures that your heel won't pop off of your project. Compression-molded Science Friction 3.0 rubber toe box, patented Concave Sole, and patented 3D expandable hooking heel are just a few of the key details that make this shoe a standout performer.

Years after the launch of the first Mad Rock rubber formula, the new Science Friction 3.0 compound marks a special milestone for the Mad Rock brand. More durable than any of our previous formulas, our new Science Friction 3.0 also boasts higher friction, with an optimal balance incorporated into the mix by increasing the tear strength and the memory of the compound. Due to its unique characteristics and unparalleled performance, our new Science Friction 3.0 formula is used on our shoe components like the 3D Hooking Heel, 3D Concave Sole, and the soles in all of our rock shoes.

Mad Rock's goal from the start has been to offer the most sophisticated designs and materials at a fair price, and now more than ever our message of value, quality, durability, and climbing enjoyment rings true - so much so that our competitors are increasingly following our lead. We always thought that climbing should be enjoyed by everybody, and we aim to do that with the best gear at a fair price.
