Super sticky

"Climbed in these for the first time last week. Super sticky compared to my Butoras. Performed great. Buying another pair."

Nighthawk (5/5)

Reliable. Dependable. Standard.

"After a long search and disappointment, I have finally found what I would consider to be a worthy replacement for my original TC Pros. The JB embodies the originality and intention of a La Sportiva icon, but as represented by a smaller business, the goal remains focused on designing and selling a comfortable shoe that supports maximum performance on trad routes with the intent of all-day comfort and relentless confidence. I share this having worn the newer TC Pros on and off for nearly two years. I could never break them in. When I slipped my first pair of JB’s on, they felt like home. My initial test was Never Never Land, a classic (and somewhat polished) slab route at the Gunks in NY. The JB’s delivered pricelessly. -Climber and Guide"

Great shoes but . . .

"These shoes are amazing! Great edging, comfortable for all day multipitch and performs super well, very high quality. However, Acopa customer service seems to have gone way down hill. Be prepared for lack of communication and very long order processing. You may or may not get your order. I had to dispute my credit card charge before my order was shipped. See Mountain project gear forum if you want more details."

Shoe Review

"Unfortunately the shoes were a little small. I re-ordered the next size up but have not received them yet. I am a little disappointed as I have asked for a return shipping label for the first pair, but have had no response after several attempts."

Mike P. (3/5)

Great shoes, great folks

"Bomber shoes and great customer service! Initially ordered my street shoe size and found I needed to size down by .5 (I have wide feet and the JBs ended up being a little too long). Customer service worked with me to get the size I needed. Good stuff!"

Bheem (5/5)

Classic!

"Awesome shoes! Fit well but I went a half size up for those longer multi-pitch days."

Kenta G. (5/5)

Super quality.

"Plush and comfy. Feel super quality out of the box. Fit perfect. (I ordered a 10.5 which is my sneaker size) Glad I didn't go smaller."

SHOE SIZING

"Very undersized compared to 4 other top ahoe manufacturers. But incredibly well made super simple exchange process and very excited for these new shoes"
