Acopa Shot / Aztec / JB?

I have the Aztec and I'd say it's the best all-around trad shoe I have, may except for my original JB's.  Both are great all day for me and fit my foot just right.  I size 1 to 1.5 up from street (depending on what you consider street size).  Acopa has really done a great job bringing these back.

Hi, wanted to follow up to see if there are more thoughts on the Acopa JB.
I'd love to get a pair of TC Pros for trad, NH granite, and a variety of UT crack, but I wear a medium to narrow sz 15, so TC's are not an option.
Therefore in a sz 50 I'm considering the JB with its lower toe profile or Scarpa Maestro Mid. Have any experience with either?

Email Dario at Acopa. He is great at answering questions! Try the JB. I use it on NH granite. The break in period is a while - a little tape on the heels helped - well worth it. Very sticky rubber, well balanced shoe

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
