I've had resoles done semi-recently from Plattsburgh Shoe Hospital, Positive Resoles, and New England Resoul. As far as quality goes, I thought all of them did a good job [see edit below].

Positive Resoles turned out to be the cheapest and had the quickest turnaround time by a full week. That works for me.

Edit: Since writing this, the resole from New England Resoul has come undone. The rubber is fine but top section is delaminating from the bottom section (the toe from the sole) at the join around the seams. Looks like they weren't glued properly. This was the second time I have had these particular shoes resoled so take that into account but I have also never had a shoe come apart this bad. I will try to reglue it myself.

Been doing Rock & Resole for 6+ years, they've done dozens of jobs for me. Quick turn arounf. A few botched here and there, but I'd say that they are 17/19 - pretty damn good because they are outstanding when they are "on".

I don't post much, but I had to give a plug for Plattsburgh Shoe Hospital, they do an amazing job.

Turnaround from the day I shipped them from Central VT to Plattsburgh to the day I got them back in my hands was 9 days, including a weekend.

Rock n resole!

Used to do yose bums but have lost faith in the rubber. I think they are great resolers though.

Locker posts far too much to actually be working, lol!

edit: to comment about the rock n resole results specifically, I have an older pair of miuras that came back still looking like dirty old shoes but can now edge and climb like a mutherfuker once again!

john Ramuta in Helana MT, is a wizard. flying Bryan in Las Vegas NV is also excellant

+1 for the Plattsburgh Shoe Hospital. They did a good job on my shoes.

Rock and resole worked well for me. I'd like to mention a cheap and fast way I ship shoes too. A Flat Rate Padded Envelope from the post office ships for ~5.75 and is priority mail so 2-3 day shipping time. Made my turn around about one week.

You can fit 4 pairs of shoes in a medium flatrate box (the longer skinny one) and ship them for 12.35. It's still priority mail.

Positive Resoles did fast, quality work for me recently. I would patronize Locker again in the future.

I had Locker resole my Anasazis. He almost died from the smell I'm sure. I got out last week and finally led The Green Adjective clean on the very same shoes.

another +1 for Rock and Resole. I sent them my 5.10 grandstone, 5.10 anasazi blanco, and jet 7s. Quick return and excellent job. BUT the sole on the Jet 7s are kinda peeling off from the toes. I'm not sure if this is common for downturned shoes, which I can understand because of the pressure being applied into the angle the sole is glued to the toe. Rest of the shoes are good

Barry Chamber's from Barry's Resoles is the best. I have been having him do my resoles for years. He always asks lots of questions so he can customize to exactly what I need.

HE does not advertise. but i have nothing but great resoles in Chico, Ca at Preston's Shoe Repair. He only does C4 at this point because that's all we local climbers ask for. 7 day turnaround, he has a system which guarantees it! Great toe fixes, he has resoled TC pros better than other places i have sent them. All in all, it's the only place take my shoes. (Help's that it is sorta local, too)
And no, i do not work for, own, or otherwise have anything to do with this place, just my fave NORCAL resole.

+1 for Locker, Positive Resoles fixed my shoes up like new in no time at all.

I've gotta think that resoling is a Dark Art at best, and I'm always impressed when the results turn out well.

Having said that, I've resoled maybe 10 pairs of shoes at Rock & Resole in the past few years and every one of them turned out excellently. Not only have they held up, they are very neat & clean resoles.

Locker...you'll be next to try.

Another voice for POSITIVE RESOLES. . . .

(now send me my money, gluehead)!!!!!
LOL!!!

In the NY/VT/Quebec area, The Shoe Doctor in Plattsburgh, NY has done several resoles for lots of my buddies, myself and family. Not the quickest, but better than the soles from the factory. A year later after my last resole, still not a single thing out of place. I won't take my climbing stuff anywhere else... The dude is a hard core climber . So he knows what's what and always has good tips and advice. Just good things to say about that place.

I've been using Bennett@ Prodeal Resoles in CO for the last couple yrs...
Good work...he just did a rush order for me right before Christmas...came out great.

Not a success story but could potentially be. Do these look like they can be resoled or did I wait too long on the shoe with the actually sole visible?
