Fantastic shoe 5 out of 5 stars

I love these shoes! I have a pair of Acopa B3s as well that I intended to be my primary shoe as these were meant for only really steep overhanging stuff, but I am finding myself gravitating towards these shoes even on vertical stuff. I have to say I got mine on an incredible sale (30% off) but they only had 44s left and I wear a 44.5 street shoe. So I have been wearing socks with these shoes, but they've still been incredible and really have pushed my climbing to new levels. Next time I'm going to go with 43s.

The B3s are another great shoe from Acopa. I was sent my street shoe size and found it to be a half size too big. I did however get to demo them in the gym and half to say that the rubber is among the grippiest I have seen. Toe hooks were insane and effortless when compared to my Boosters. The outside edge just seemed well logical to me, there was no adaptation time to it...I was able to get slightly more power from my outside edge. Oh, and the B3s they sent me were all black which just looks awesome in my opinion - although it leaves you with hobo feet. All that being said, I am going to contact Acopa to see if I can get a half size smaller because my street shoe size just doesn't allow me to get the power off my big toe that I want. Right now my big toe is barely even bent and they're brand new. But then again I am used to climbing in my super aggressive Boosters.
