Great to hear!  I bought all the auroras I could find several years back, so still have some that I wear.  I'm looking forward to their return!

Are you going with a proprietary rubber or an already established formula?  How much info can you give away?! Do you have a demo fleet?  When can we demo shoes?!  Are you planning to offer shoes to retailers or solely through Acopa?  I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!  

Some of your answers can be found on this thread: https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/111669189/missing-acopa
Rubber will be proprietary, I remember the original rubber being pretty good.

Thanks for the link Jon!  How do you personally feel their rubber stacks up to rubber available today?  What (beside fucking cool style) set Acopa apart from what's available today?

I got into climbing after Acopa stopped producing shoes, but literally every piece of info that's been given to me about Acopa has been positive, and it makes me curious about them.

So, since yall are listening...

make some bigger shoes for us taller folks.  :D

I really wanted some TC pros, but they only go up to 46... I wear a 49 street shoe.

I'm sure that there are a lot of reasons why folks make shoes in the size ranges they do, so whatever, I understand that businesses gotta do what they do.  But there really aren't a lot of large options, at least as far as I've found... especially for more aggressive shoes.

Aurora collection!  It's the best fitting shoe for my foot.

That is so awesome, seeing the kids living happy lives! :D

Thank you for sharing and for your support!

Shoot away! Rubber is the same as before... Acopa RS. No one else has it. Super secret formula. ;) Demos will happen sometime in 2020, Ambassadors will get to try on different models first. We are making our line available to retailers and will sell direct on our website... Keep 'em coming and thank you for your support!!

Thank you for letting us know! Yes, it's an inventory thing, particularly for stores. If it doesn't move, they don't stock it. At 49 (close to size 15 US, I believe), there are some technical issues to work out, but they can be resolved. We'll get on this and start working to offer a range that covers your size ASAP, at least on our website. Thanks again for your feedback!

Will you guys be doing split sizes on your shoes?

Yes sir. May not be available online right off the bat, and delivery might take a bit longer, but if you call us, we'll make it happen.

This is great news- JBs were my go- to for years.
