Any one do good rock shoe resoles? Givin' up on Rock n Resole!!!!!
|
I've been going to Rock n Resole for about 8 years, with mixed success. I have always sent tons of buddies there, again with mixed results. 2 months ago yesterday I had a pair of shoes resoled by them and they have fallen apart already. Yes I climb 3-4 days a week, but I have never rocked through a resole so quickly. When I asked Rock n Resole to help me out, they wouldn't even cut me a deal on fixing my destroyed shoe. Anyone know a better resoler to choose from? |

Try out Pro Deal resoles in Pueblo. |

If you're in the Boulder area check out Perry's shoe shop on Walnut. They do all kinds of shoe repair. I've had several pairs of shoes resoled there, always with good results. |

I've never had a particular problem with Rock'n'Resole nor have I ever taken my climbing shoes to Perry's, but Perry's has always done a great job for me with other shoe issues. |

I used rock n resole twice because i live in gunnison. i resoled my la sportiva katana. i used them a little in the gym on hard problems but they fell apart both times after climbing on them just a little outside on granite. i just got muiras and i am already planning on not using rock n resole because i will loose performance. |

This may be slightly off topic. But since the previous post mentioned Katanas, it reminded me of the problems that I've had with Sportiva shoes in general. I have had 4 different pairs of Sportivas; Katanas, Mythos, Megas, and Cliffs. Each of these shoes had problem with the "original" soles delaminating as well as the rubber delaminating from the uppers. I've been told that it is because Sportiva doesn't clean their materials well enough before assembling the shoes. You can use Barge cement to re-glue them, but it only lasts so long because it is hard to clean them well enough to get a great bond after they've been in use. |

Rock n resole does excellent work. |

I've twice had problems at R&R- over 12 years with multiple soles per year... |

He's been in business probably close to as long as I've been alive--he does great work.I'll have to contradict that. My experiences have all been sub-par, tho the point where I will never take a pair of rock shoes there again. And, FWIW... I don't think Komito does the work himself, anymore. The shoes I have had resoled at R&R have been much better craftsmanship. |

Rock n Resole did my mythos last time with a rand repair. So far, so good(2 months of climbing 3x/week). |
|
I have also had mixed sucess with Rock and Resole- but I think some shoes are just "done" after the first or second resole, especially the more high performance shoes. |
