how does the dragon compare to the scarpa vapor v? i know its a broad question but i want a lot of different answers

The most obvious difference is lace-up vs. velcro. Lace-up gives you a more precise fit, which I love (I use La Sportiva Testarossas), but velcro is easier to get on and off faster. As far as fit, I've generally found 5.10 to be wider than Scarpa or Sportiva, which I don't like because it allows my foot to squish out and that hurts. There's also the issue of the heel. 5.10 used to be famous for awful heel cups, but they've fixed that and now it's just a matter of your foot. Some swear by Scarpa's heel and hate 5.10's, and some are just the opposite. The next major difference is that the Scarpas are a lot stiffer, so your feet won't get as tired, but the thin rubber on the 5.10s gives you a more sensitive feel for the holds. That thin rubber wears out faster, of course, and Stealth is generally softer so you gain stickiness and sacrifice durability. If you'll be mostly on sharp edges and not slopey feet, you'd probably be better served by a stiffer, more durable rubber. The bottom line is that I always recommend trying them on beforehand. Find any store that has them, if you can, and slip them on. See if you can feel pressure points, feel for dead space in the heel, and so on, then come back and order them here. Or order both in a couple of sizes (which is a lot of money up front) then return the ones you don't want. If you only order one pair in one size, it's a crap shoot.
