Resole for Sportive Gandas

I have a pair of La Sportiva Ganda approach shoes that are in need of resoling. This seems like an atypical climbing shoe resole. Any thoughts or recommendations?

I am curious to hear about this as well. I have heard that Gandas are hard to resole because the midsole is soft and disintegrates when you try to resole it. Hopefully that isn't true.

Rock n resole in Boulder will resole them!

A big part of justifying their unprecedented high price was that they are resole-able. I don't own any, so I don't have any skin in this game, but it would suck if they posed any problem.

I sent a pair that were quite worn to Rock and Resole in Boulder. They did an excellent job, quickly and for a reasonable price.

My resoled ones (done by Ramuta) turned out better than my fresh pair. They'll have at least a second resole in them, too.

Thanks everyone.
