Men sizing: we recommend a sizing similar to street shoe size for performance fit. Go up 0.5 or 1 US for a comfy fit.
For example, if your foot length is 26cm, your street shoe size is 9 or 9.5 US. Your performance fit in the Drone CS LV is 9.5 US. For a comfortable fit you should take 10 US.

The ''LV'' version is very narrow, potentially the narrowest LV on the market. If you have narrow feet and are struggling to find shoes that fit well, the Drone serie ''LV'' might be for you. The heel cup is also very narrow.

The Drone CS is a bit tighter than the Drone 2 but breaks in easily. Once broken in, the Drone CS and Drone 2 should have a similar sizing however, a lot of climbers size up by 0.5 in the Drone CS compared to the Drone 2.
