Sorry, but I was rope soloing a new sport arete, so pics were hard to come by. Next time I go I'll do a proper review. My first impressions are good, Acopas always fit me well, and these were no different in that respect.
The new Spectres seem a bit stiffer than the old ones, but perhaps that's because my old ones are on their fifth resole. I was wondering if they added a stiffer midsole. Climbing on the secret basalt columns gives you opportunities to edge, smear, friction and jam, and the rubber worked great. I can't compare it to 5.10 rubber because I boycott 5.10, but fresh out of the box they stuck great and show even wear after one day of climbing, unlike some 5.10 shoes which were trashed after one day of climbing.
As more information becomes available I will share it, but so far I am very pleased
