I'd recommend Rubber Room. The only downside is their turnaround time is longish 4-6 weeks on average which is unfortunate, but perhaps it's the whole victims of their success. Sent 2 pairs off the first time and now sending them 3 more pairs. Will update on those three pairs.

Quality of work-wise I've had consistently good results with both the Rubber Room and Rock & Resole. In addition to climbing shoes I had the Rubber Room resole my running shoes with dot rubber. As others have noted the Rubber Room turnaround time is unfortunately quite slow. I was shocked when R&R had my shoes done in 2 days.

I mail them in so my imagination can take over and it's all dominatrices. Sent them 2 pairs in the summer and they came back near new. So see no reason to not continue sending them business.
Locker I noticed on your website that you say you have XS Grip is this true? I emailed a few resolers a while back asking if anyone had it, but got an email saying La Sportiva didn't import it. Trying Stealth on some Sportiva shoes, but depending how that goes I'd be interested in getting XS Grip if possible.

+1000 for Rock and Resole. Just got two pairs back from them in something like 8 or 9 days.

We have used Yosemite Bum in the past and have been satisfied.

Funny this thread has been revived, as I just received two pairs today from KOMITO BOOTS in Estes Park.

Best service ever. I called last week just to see if there was any availability before I leave for J. Tree on Friday and he says, "no I dont have time, but send them in anyway and I'll get them done".

He made sure to ask when I was leaving, gave me an A+ job, threw in some spare laces, and even did some work on the eyelets with no charge. This isn't the first time he has done little extras with no charge.

Turn around time is 1 week.

Try him out: 800-422-2668 or 970-586-5391

p.s. he does rock shoes, XC, alpine and touring boots, mountain boots, etc. All very quality.

"Locker, I got Acopas ready to send. You in Cali or Colorado? Open for business at the moment? Where do I find your deets, O Buzzed One?".

California.

Fully set back up and ready to Rock and Roll!

Been cranking them out for about a week now.

There's just something about the smell of glue in the morning.

Sent my Scarpa Vapor V's and my climbing partner's old Scarpa Edge's to New England Resoul. They came back and they are great. My buddy just used his this past weekend, had Onyxx put on them, and he said they are incredible. Using my Vapor's for gym duty currently, had C4 put on them, they are awesome. Quality is top notch! Highly recommend them.

Another vote for Rock and Resole in Boulder. Dropped them off on a Monday at 4:30pm, and they had all three pairs in spectacular shape, and back to me Wednesday morning at 10am. And all three pairs were in TERRIBLE shape. They do a really nice job.

100% rock and resole.

I've used rubber room and Yosemite bum several times. Both do an acceptable job. Rubber rooms turnaround times are terrible.

Rock and Resole does an AmaZing job on down turned shoes. They know how to maintain the shape of the shoe and the "scoop/cup" of the sole. Just got some instincts resoled and they may actually be better than new. Seriously

One vote for a resole done by Dave Page in Seattle. Only had one pair done, but so far, so good. They edge a heck of a lot better than before (1990's Kamet JTrees, so no surprise the rubber's improved.) He's a curmudgeon on the phone, but actually kind of friendly in person. I live in town, and wasn't in a rush - I dragged the turnaround out to two weeks; I think they called to let me know my shoes were done about 5 days after I dropped them off.

One suggestion from a friend: If you live within cycling distance, pedal or messenger your shoes - parking in the Fremont neighborhood is pretty tough. If you live within reasonable driving distance of Seattle, don't. Mail your shoes. It will save you time, frustration & gas money.

I had some hiking boots resoled by Dave Page in about 1979, nice to know that he's still around.

I've gotten consistently good results from Komito's in Estes. Reasonable turnaround time, good work on all my shoes over the years.

Just had two pairs done by positiveresoles.com (locker).

He did a great job. The rands were blown at the toes on both pairs (Evolv Shamans & Red Chili Spirit VCS). So he did a rand repair on both and 1/2 sole on both. Decided to put thick C4 on the Reds and Onyxx on the Evolvs.

Locker turned them around in about a week and they fit/feel great! Climbed in them today and have no complaints.

Another one for Rock n resole. Great work and fast turn around. As far as pro deal resole goes, never sending a pair of shoes there again. The guy does do good work. The bad thing is that I called this guy a ton and emailed him a shit ton. I complained to the shop in co springs where i dropped them off at. He took forever to get my shoes back. Read the other threads posted about this shop. Pretty shitty. I had to buy a new pair of solutions because I thought i wasn't going to get the shoes back. I think it was over 2 months before I got them back.

Another vote for Locker and Positive Resoles. Quality of workmanship on the three pairs I sent him and one a friend sent in with mine was on par with the work the Rubber Room had done for me in the past...with a comparable turnaround time to what Flyin Brian had prior to his tragic passing. Fast.

Thanks for the great work and fantastic turnaround time.
