Sadness... 5 out of 5 stars

Review by: ilikepargo, 2011-07-19


Love these shoes. For all the claims about "performance" and "design", the biggest issue is whether or not the shape of the shoe fits the shape of your foot. These fit mine. But with the demise of Acopa, they are now impossible to find. If I could get more, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

Are These Everyone's "First Shoe?" 4 out of 5 stars

Review by: ilikepargo, 2009-02-26


They were mine. And as a first shoe, they're terrific. Tight but comfy so that you can get used to the tightness. Sticky on the smear and for those foot placements that aren't quite as balanced as they will be once you're more experienced. But they edge poorly. The toe-crunch is not the best. And as they stretch (which they will) they can become a bit sloppy on your foot. Do get it as your "first shoe." It'll be good for that. But know, as you do, that your ability will grow out of it.
