Sent in my beat up muiras into rock n resole last Tuesday. They received them Thursday and had them back to me 7 days later. (I live in Iowa) Had 2 toe caps replaced with new xs rubber price and workman ship were great.

I have had great luck with both Rock and Resole, and the Plattsburgh Shoe Hospital. Can't go wrong with either IMHO.

I've gone through Rock & Resole in the past and they've done an excellent job but offer limited types of rubber.

Does anyone know of a place that does a quality job that carries the Stealth HF and Onyxx rubber? Not just the C4.

"and Onyxx rubber?"

I thought MOST of us carry Onyx?

I know I do.

Daniel Evans,

Doesn't Pat carry other rubber besides C4? (Via Nomad Ventures in JTree)

Prodeal Resoles offers Onyx. I had 3 pairs of shoes resoled by them. Excellent job and cheap.

@Locker : I'm trying to find out. I remember someone telling me the turn around time through Nomad's was about 3 months so I had always sent mine to R&R. I have a pair of 5.10 Blackwings that came with the HF rubber so I was looking to get them resoled with the same. Otherwise I'd settle for the Onyxx, but ultimately I just wanted a stiffer rubber then the C4 to keep it a more aggressive shoe.

" I remember someone telling me the turn around time through Nomad's was about 3 months"

What the fucking hell? That is HILARIOUS!

Pat is a weeeeeeeeee bit behind.

LMAO!

I remember well how busy it can be running the business through Nomads. Overwhelming at times. I was happy to pass it over to Pat. LOL!

EDITED:

" I have a pair of 5.10 Blackwings that came with the HF rubber"

Not all of the FiveTen rubbers (that doesn't sound right. LOL!) are available to resolers. I am not sure about the HF rubber, but I haven't checked in a little while. However I'd guess it isn't.

Just found these guys who claim to have the Stealth HF. Heard anything about them? They appear to be a certified 5.10 resole company based off fiveten.com

Your saying the Stealth HF rubber is not stiffer then the C4? C4 rubber is generally the go-to rubber out here in Joshua Tree for slab. Blackwing is a down-turned aggressive shoe. I would imagine it'd be more of an edging shoe thus harder rubber. Right?

Then again shoe rubber is not my area of expertise. Just the way it has been explained to me by fellow climbers.

"Just found these guys who claim to have the Stealth HF"

Well, not real sure about that. Just got off the phone with FiveTen and was told that it is not available to resolers. (EDITED: Maybe the lied and it's just not available to ME! LOL!)

I do see on their site (LostSoles) where they post that they have it though:

"We offer a wide range of climbing and approach shoe rubbers including Vibram XS Grip, Stealth C4, Stealth ONYXX, Stealth HF and Stealth Dotty."

I should add that at first when I was speaking with FiveTen, the dude had to go ask about the rubber. To me that implies that he's either new, or not up on his game. So who knows? Maybe it's available? I would think they would have sent out a flyer or something since it's resolers that would be purchasing it.

Not sure what to make of it.

Just sent the $50.00, a six pack, and the number to Rock and Resole over...

What's the phone number for Rock 'n' Resole?

Sorry, couldn't help it. I've had great luck with them. probably 7 or 8 resoles over the last five years on various shoes, only one of which didn't come out great.

I was having trouble with the sides of my TC Pros blowing out (a design flaw with the shoe, made worse by lots of jamming), and when I brought them in the last few times they told me it was tough to fix. But this last time, they seem to have come up with a good solution which involves some thick shoe rubber melted over the weak spots. It's ugly as hell, but it's held up quite well so far. - there was a hole right through the leather on one shoe, so I wasn't too optimistic, but after seven days in Yosemite, three in the Creek, and a few other days out, it's still showing very little wear in that spot.

"thick shoe rubber melted over the weak spots"

That I'd love to see. Also like to know how they managed it.

You sure it's not PlastiDip or it's equivalent?



Available in much smaller cans at HomeDepot/Lowes, etc...

Rock&Resole, even when they forget they had my shoes.... they made it worth it. Seriously. They are good. Forty bucks for $100 worth of shoe left? They even re-stitched the lace loops of my Mythos... when asked about the re-stiching: "oh we noticed your shoes needed it." You are awesome dudes! Success every time.

I just got two pairs of Acopas back from Barry. By far the best resoles I've ever seen! Good edges, the shoe shape is right on, and the seam from the half soles are tighter than i've ever seen anywhere!

I sent a pair of Evolvs to John Ramuta. I've been using them for about 6 months and have been pleased. I plan to send another pair to him soon.

Barry IS "the Man"!

Dude can resole like no other!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
