Resoles...front range

Is anyone doing them in the springs ? If not
where else ? any beta on prices, quality etc.
would be helpful too.

Rock and Resole in Boulder is where I've always sent mine. They have a website. Fast turnaround too. Just mail them.

RR = good work, quick turnaround, nice folks

Rock and Resole...best resoles in the country hands down. $25 for the half sole, $8.50 per each toe cap. 2-3 day turnaround and they do a lot of mail business. Check out their website. rockandresole.com

Komito Boots, Estes Park. I know its a bit of a drive from Springs, but Steve does wonders! Usually takes about a week and costs about $60 for full sole/rand repair, but your shoes will be like new... Also, he's one of only a few people in CO certified for 5.10's "Stealth" stuff. Go with the best. He's worth the drive.

Dave you can drop off your shoes and the Mt Chalet here in the springs. Theres a guy down in Pueblo that does the work. Can't remember the prices but it was better then some of the other places and you dont pay shipping if I remember right.

By the way, that reminds me. Is anyone else a bit self-conscious about sending in shoes that stink really bad? I know that's silly, but I can't help feeling like someone has to work on my shoes in a bio-hazard suit or something.

I'm sure they have that part of it figured out. Probably tell apprentices not to inhale when they open the package. But if you feel bad, just spray some Lysol in there.

Not sure the definition or worth of "certified'...?? (especially with the price of gas)
Rock & Resole buys their "Stealth stuff" directly from 5.10. Can't get anymore directly certified than that.

They give you the following choices at no extra cost:
~ 5.10 Rubber options ~
4 mm Stealth C4 (my personal fav)
5.5 mm Stealth C4
Onyx thin
- - - - - - - - - - - -
~ La Sportiva Rubber options ~
4mm XS Grip
5mm XS Grip
4mm XSV
5 mm XSV
or Mixed (front & back variation)

~ Sasha I think their prices are now $28

The guy in Pueblo I think is "Pro Deal Resole." Someone told me he did a good job. Me I've always used Komito with the exception of a couple of resoles by Muff Cheney when I was in college. He's left the Springs I believe.

I wonder what kind of rubber my boreal aces would be simular
to ?

Whats stickier ?
The C4 or the 5.10

C4 is 5.10's stickiest rubber as I understand it.

You know its actually a Colorado State law that you cannot send in muddy or overly smelly shoes to a place of business. It can spread all kinds of crap and plays hazards for the folks receiving the biowaste.
Be kind. Clean off them kicks and try to let the sweat dry before you send them in :)

C4 is made by 5.10. Sorry if my post was confusing, I was trying to list 5.10 & La Sportiva as headings

C4 is softer (& stickier), Onyx is currently 5.10's hardest rubber. Not sure about your Boreal question (I replaced mine with C4) - give RR a call ~

No..I'm just confused generaly :)
Thanks.

I may drop them off at the chalet
Shipping stuff is just way over my head :)

I've had two pair resoled by ProDeal Resole out of Pueblo (drop off/pick up at Mtn Chalet) and they do an awesome job! Definitely worth while and cheaper than Rock and Resole. I think the guy that started the company down in Pueblo used to work for R&R if I'm not mistaken.

Really does a great job w/ climbing as well as approach shoes.

Here is a LINK for the order form. Let us know how it goes...!

No, Just kicks. Ticks are ok to send to people. I hear they are friendly critters. I hear if you provide an air freshner in the box with the shoes you get an extra 5% off the resole ;)

I just got a pair back from Rock n resole. I mailed them to the shop for like 4 bucks. half resoles, double rand repairs, and shipping back cost $55, and they came out perfect. Round trip was 7 days.

Rubber Room in Bishop has also done a great job for me, and you get a funny sticker.

THE ONLY place to send your rock shoes to get resoled or your mountaineering boots to be resoled or ANYTHING to be resoled is Rock and Resole in Boulder.

Those guys have even resoled running shoes of mine with sticky rubber so I can run up the 1st and 3rd Flatiron. Their work is excellent, the turnaround is never more than 48 hours and their prices are reasonable...........Plus they are climbers who GET IT!!!
