My JBs are finally broken in and they are great. For my spatula feet it was kind of like breaking in hiking boots but now I have a shoe for years to come. This is my second pair. Definitely listen to Lisa at Acopa about sizing. I have never bought climbing shoes bigger than my street shoe size before. Did I mention that my feet are like spatulas?

Going to get a pair of Acopa in a few days. Tried on the Legends..in hope of replacing my Sportiva Syncro's. I wear a size 8.5 street shoe and I will end up getting the Legend in a 9. Any problems with the legends?

Figured I'd throw my 2 cents in here. I recently got a new pair of JBs. But I managed to beat them up pretty quickly I guess. After only 2 or 3 days of climbing some offwidth and doing some inversion problems (like Right Long's Crack @ Mt Woodson) the soles are delaminating and the rand on the outside of my right foot is totally peeling off. I'm just going to send 'em to be resoled and get the rand beefed up. It seems like a glue issue. But other than that, the shoes fit my feet very well. The lasts that Acopa uses seem to fit my feet amazingly well.
On a separate note, I have a pair of Spectres that I have abused like crazy, for about a year and a half and they're freakin fantastic! No issues at all, except its time they had a resole.

Nick--what size Spectres did you get compared to your normal shoe size?

I got a half size up on my spectres to my evolv and five ten mid volume shoe size (anasazi velcro 9, anasazi lace 9, evolv defy 9, evolv pontas 9, five ten galileo 9, spectre 9.5....) and it fit like a gem. Best for edging I've had.

Thanks, REI has had Spectes on sale for $105 for a while, seems like a good deal.

blahblah,
my street/running shoe size is 9. And just for reference, I also have a pair of Anasazi lace-ups (the older pink ones) in a size 9. My spectres are a size 9. I rarely ever wear the anasazis anymore because they're so uncomfortable. By contrast, the Spectres are way more comfortable, in spite of being very snug.
