Buckaroo Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I usually wear Aces, with the board last. What other rock shoe is this stiff and ankle height? Looking for a big wall shoe that's stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Acopa JB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Be warned than Acopa is sized weird though, you gotta try them on rather than just mail order. I've been interested in a pair of JBs (which few stores seem to carry) but I tried on a different model and it seemed like it was the size 13 that fit, while I tend to wear an 11.5 street shoe and around a euro 45 in a rock shoe. I thought someone else was making an old style high top these days too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicMtnBoy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 If you're lucky like me you you can find a nearly new pair of Kaukulators at Second Ascent that fit. Otherwise you've got the Acopa JB (which I also have not been able to try on and thus can't order), the La Sportiva TC Pro which might be easier to find shortly (I think just hit the US recently) but will cost you like $190, or supposedly 5.10 has a new high top coming soon which was spotted at the Summer OR show (check the www.rockclimbing.com posts from the show). I suppose if you're mostly freeing a big wall those'll work, can't say I'd want to aid in any of them though. I use mine for all day alpine and offwidth stuff. I love my high tops!

G-spotter Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Buckaroo, Even the JBs are sliplasted. http://www.acopausa.com/product.jsp?navigation=3&content=12 Nobody makes board lasted shoes anymore. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Trad Master or Mythos are stiff Huh? Mythos are about as stiff as flip-flops. TC Pros are the new 'Kaukulators'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builder206 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Kamet ankle height I don't know how stiff they are in comparison to the others mentioned here but they are made for alpine multi-pitch and have worked well for me in that role.
