I bought a pair of Dragons and based on the previous posts on this thread, bought them as small as I could get my feet into (still a full continental size bigger than my old 5.10 Pinks). I have mainly been wearing the Dragons while watching TV to try and break them in. However my big toe is still very scrunched up even after 4 or 5 evenings of telly watching. Should I persevere and they will stretch or should I cut my losses and ebay them and buy a bigger pair?

Any advice from other Dragon wearers much appreciated

Mine were ridiculous when I first got them back before Xmas, but now they've softened up nicely and are fantastic. Excellent shoes, can't believe it took me so long to get hold of a pair!

Hmm..
Bought a pair of Dragons today. 9.5's which is the same size as my regular shoes. My Anasazi velcro size is 7.5.. I couldnt get into the 9's and the 9.5's were snug - but readily get-inable... whats the stretch factor in these like?

not a lot of strech. Dragons are only rockshoes i've ever had to buy in street shoe size. Pretty comical when a dragon 9.5 is the same size as a sportiva 7.5.

Cool. Cheers Dave - I just had that post purchase 'are they too large' stress on...

I wish I had that - I'm still in the "Are my toes going to snap this time?" stress!

i found the sizing so west on the ones we had in the shop, ended up waiting and finally got a pair yesterday so was in the agony stage today trying to break them in.
Don't know what will break first the boots or my toes!
