Baby's gittin' new shoes???

I had a pair of Acopa slippers a few years back. I thought they were decent for the price. They delaminated after I left them in my trunk on a hot day (as just about any shoe would). I would have replaced them with another pair had I been able to find them locally.

I bought a pair of Acopa slippers when I was living in Oaxaca in '02. Still have them, they still have the same soles -though they are in need of a resole, and have held up better than my Mad Rock slippers. I use them as my non-summer slipper, meaning in summertime my feet swell up too big to get the damn meat pies in there without cramping badly. I would recommend them if you find some that fit well.

yes, acopas are totallyfuckingawesome.com

i have had many pairs and wear through them until they are no longer useful. if i remember correctly, if you order them online and they dont fit, you can just mail them back to re-size. also, i emailed john when i wanted to try a different model, gave him my street shoe size, he emailed me back with the correct size for that shoe and they were spot on.

i also think that climb max down in pdx has them if yorue ever there and somewhere in oly reportedly has some acopas

Acopas are also available through a certain shop I know of in Squamish

sounds like you need to work on your footwork!

Merlins are a really good all around shoe, but very soft and will stretch a good deal.

 

Spectres have a similar last, but more midsole.
