I found these super sensitive and precise. A bit narrow for my foot shape but bearable. Same size has my Instinct VS and VSR.

An excellent shoe. Better for edging than the Drago, but retaining much of that excellent grip, for smearing etc.

I've been using the Chimeras for 9 months and still they are my go-to shoe for hard rock climbs.
I recommend them for hard sport climbing and bouldering.
I like everything about this shoe - the lining, the rubber, and how perfectly they fit on my low-volume foot.
