Best resoler

Best resoler especially to get LA sportive solutions as close to new as possible.  Angled toe like original?

I looked for other posts but no luck.  Wonder why there isn’t a word search.

Yosemite Bum has never done me wrong on any pairs I've sent. 

Is a "word search" different than a forum search? I just searched for "best resole" and came up with a ton of threads. For solutions, your best bet is probably Rock and Resole. They're an authorized La Sportiva cobbler and they've restored my downturns. If you have something against Rock and Resole for whatever reason, below is the list of authorized Sportiva resolers

How is Greater Tahoe Gripworks not mentioned on here? He's the only authorized La Sportiva resoler in North America

Seen his work - top notch. But he only does Sportiva, you're out of luck if you want anything else resoled. 

Doug at Positive Resoles in Joshua Tree did a great job with my Solutions ( and a bunch of other Sportiva models).

He also refuses to resole on shoes that are not in good shape. That jars a huge difference in the resole 

Meh. I've had multiple other resoles do that over the years if the shoes are marginal. I don't like toe caps or rand replacements. If the shoe is too far gone its just not worth it.

They did an incredible job with my solutions. The rubber came back indistinguishable from a brand new shoe.

The best resoler is the one having the most fun.

Hi everyone! 

This is Chris from Greater Tahoe Gripworks. Just wanted to jump in to say hello and let everyone know that I'm open to answer resole related questions and concerns via email. You can find my email on the website - www.tahoegripworks.com  I'd like to respond to everyone here individually but simply don't have the time - so email is the best and fastest way. 

My website has a bunch of useful information so please take your time and read thoroughly - and if you still have questions just hit me up. 

I also want to thank everyone that's chimed in here. It's all much appreciated, and for those of you I get to call my customers and friends - thank you so much for your support.

I'm incredibly passionate about my craft and happy to talk shop. 

Cheers,

Hi all!

I’ve had shoes resoled by Yosemite Bum and there was little to no point done on the toes for an ‘aggressive’ shoe. Disappointed. I have also used On Site Resoles, great job but cud take weeks or months to get the shoes back bc the guy travels climbing  (can’t be mad at that!) . Also, how is Greater Tahoe “the only authorized La Sportiva resoler in North America” when there is a list given above? 

Just got my resole back from Greater Tahoe Gripworks. Chris did an awesome job on my wife's Miura's. They perform and look like new with the benefit of being already molded to her foot. We will be taking all our resole shoes to him. Turn around was less than 2 weeks including shipping both ways. Highly recommend his shop.

I've had really great experiences with Dustin at Rodeo Resole on multiple shoes and brands.  He is also certified/authorized by LA Sportiva.

I also send mine to Rodeo Resole. Only good experiences so far.

I've been extremely happy with V12 Resole lately. The drop-off/pickup boxes at bay area gyms are very convenient. 

Any updates on ProDeal Resoles? Same 4 month wait with 0 communication? I'm fine with that as long as the shoes show up. The price is  like ~40% less than others.

Just got an order back from Pro Deal.  Took about 2 months, but quality is good and price is fantastic.

Another vote for Rodeo Resole. Takes a while but has been worth it for me so far. Shoes that need toe caps have come out great as well. 

Been mailing my shoes to rock and resole out of boulder for a number of years

They have tons of rubber choices. 

Yosemite Bum all day everyday!!

Another vote for Rock and resole. Been using them since the early 2000’s. Back in the day they were one of the few places that did a perfect job with very downturned shoes. Also had pretty much every rubber option you could Imagine.
