YocumRidge Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Anyone knows what happened to Acopa USA? Are they officially out of business? Their customer service does not seem to exist any longer (their phone is dead and all the emails keep bouncing back). Any other way to reach them?

bobinc Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Check over on Supertopo. As the last poster noted, JB has not been around in an earthly form since July, 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YocumRidge Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 John Bachar died. But the company was successfully run by his sister since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lodestone Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 What is this Yocum Ridge business? Nastia, is that you? Are you trying to replace your Specres? I saw a new pair of size 8 go on eBay recently for $40! That was right before your car got broken in to. I've been looking for a couple years now for a replacement pair in size 10. My old ones have been resoles over six time but now my toe is about to pop through the leather. If you want a replacement pair you can do what my g.f. did, call every (former) Acopa vendor listed on their website. She found some in 9.5 and 10.5 so finding a smaller (slightly more obscure size) might be easier. Good luck. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YocumRidge Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hey Chad! Yep, it's me. And that was you who got me hooked on Acopas a while back so now I cannot wear anything else since . Unfortunately, I had missed that sweet Ebay deal on the Spectres, but instead I found a not so sweet deal on Amazon that has a variety of Acopa shoes in multiple sizes, so you might want to check it out. I got the Aztecs (that climb very similar to Spectres IMO) as an all around shoe in Mens s. 8 and the Chameleons (mens 8) for bouldering. Very happy as nothing else seem to fit my oddly shaped feet and I need my shoes wide and stiff BTW, I will be selling my Boreal Aces (UK mens 6.5) that fits US womens 7.0, 1 Ramuda resole with the C4, so if Amy is interested, please let me know.

Lodestone Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Ah good. Those Chameleons should suite you well. From what I understand they are a velcro version of the Spectres. I've ordered (and subsequently returned) Auroras and Legends from Amazon.com. The Auroras were a little too basic for my taste and the Legends are made for a high volume foot. Too bad, sweet shoe. Now I'm rotating between LaSportiva Katana lace-ups, LaSportiva TC Pros and my old Spectres. I've got too many other shoes but they don't usually make it into the rotation unless something has to go to Ramuta. We must have similar feet as my old Spectres fit me like nothing else has. I'll let yo know if I come across a pair in your size (8 men's right?). best C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YocumRidge Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thanks Chad. Yes, I need Acopas men s. 8 - they run small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
