I know these just became available, but im wondering if anyone has tried the new LV version of the Drago and particularly can give a comparision of to the original. I think in theory it will be better for me cause of the tighter heel, but I worry the forefoot would be too smushed in the narrower version.

I'm pulling the trigger on a pair right now. This video was really helpful in describing the "lower volume" features

I wear regular Drago and am in the process of breaking in the Drago LV, both sized EU39.5. The Drago LV is narrower overall from front to back, with a very narrow heel. Definitely less volume in the toe area.

Some difference I've noticed with the Drago LV beside the width difference is 1) the mid foot arch seems to be higher, 2) the front patch of rubber is much smaller lengthwise, 3) and so far the Drago LV seems to be a small bit stiffer than the same size Drago.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
