Description

The D2.ONE HV is built to handle a little bit of everything. It has enough structure to feel supportive on small footholds and overhangs, but enough flexibility to smear, move on volumes, and feel what’s happening under your feet. It does not feel as stiff or intense as the Drone 2, and it is not as specialized as the Drone CS. Instead, it sits in the middle with a balanced feel that works well indoors, outdoors, and across all styles of climbing.

The HV fit is the best starting point for most climbers, with a wider toe box and bigger heel than the LV version. Like the rest of the Drone family, the toe box curves toward the big toe, which works well for average foot shapes and climbers with longer toes. It will feel tight around the pinky toes out of the box, but the shoe breaks in about a quarter size as the rubber molds to your foot. Compared to the Drone 2, the D2.ONE HV is easier to get on and has a more approachable fit while still keeping the secure Drone heel.

This is the most all-around shoe in the Drone line and a great first performance shoe for climbers who want one reliable pair for gym sessions, outdoor climbing, steep terrain, small footholds, toe hooks, and longer sessions. Choose the D2.ONE HV if you want more support than the Remora Pro, a more traditional feel than the Drone CS, and a less demanding fit than the Drone 2.

Design Highlights

Wider Elastic

A larger elastic over the instep adapts to a wider range of foot shapes — giving the D2.ONE a more forgiving, dialed-in fit right out of the box.

Technology

Hybrid Midsole

A unique blend of compressed polyester and polycarbonate gives the D2.ONE its identity — soft enough to feel, stiff enough to fight. This hybrid midsole delivers the rare balance of sensitivity and power in one unified platform.

Technology

3D Hooking Heel

Built with input from athletes worldwide, our patented Heel Cup for Climbing Shoes is the heel that locks and stays locked. Molded grooves bite into hooks, smears, and jams without shifting or surprises. The 'fin' design allows effective use of your heel as a crimp. Made with Science Friction 3 rubber because your heel should feel like a weapon, not a liability.

Technology

Science Friction 3

Made in California, our primary rubber formula is stickier, tougher, and smarter. Boasting higher friction, stronger tear resistance, and better memory, SF3 is built to perform. You’ll find it across our 3D Hooking Heel and Compression Molded Toe Box.

Technology

Usage

The D2.ONE is the quiver killer. Technical footwork? Power moves? It handles both without hesitation. If you want one shoe to do it all in the Drone family, this is the one to reach for.
