Acopa Aztecs are a very comfy and rugged shoe... here on The Gollum, Right

I am climbing a lot in my Acopa Chameleons, just did 11 hours in them on the FOBIAD last Saturday. Nice to have the velcro slipper, easy to loosen during the climb.

I also have a pair of Acopa JBs, they are great shoes, but I think the rand needs some different designing

and I need to work on my technique.

I also use Kaukulators still, "relaxed fit," which Barry's Resole keeps one set going, the other is about to be used!

I always get C-4 put on my Mythos, and all my shoes.

I think it's the default rubber of the rubber room.

I'll put in another vote for Huecos for all-day comfort. Barry re-soles mine and they come out better than new.

I also use an old pair of Fires (also re-soled with C4 by Barry) when I need ankle protection.

You've got lots of good options.

Ed, just wondering if street shoe size in the Chameleons & Aztecs worked well for you. I went up a half size in my JB's ..

I had them special made after fitting a bunch...
size 10 left, size 9.5 right

which is pretty much around my street shoe size, e.g my Guide Ten-ies are 9.5, dress shoes are like 10

Strangely the JB's fit well at 10.5 for each foot...
