is there anywhere/anybody either local or semi-local for chattanooga, TN? I would like to support the local climbing community if possible. If not, where do people here get em done? R&R? If i can't do it locally i'll probably send them to yosemite bum because they are evolve shoes and evolve recommends yosimite bum for their shoes. |

Had a pair done for the first time by Cascade Cobbler and was very happy. I shipped the shoes from California to Washington and had them back in two weeks, including the shipping time. He did good work, which entailed more than just resoles. He does various shoe repairs, too. |

"Someone please tally up the poll numbers in this thread so I know where to send my shoes. Thanks.".
The bottom line is there are many resolers that do good work. Go with your "Local" resoler if you have one. If not, pretty much any and all of us do good work. Just pick one at random and I have five bucks on it that your shoes will be fine. ;-) |

If you are in Madison Wisconsin try thirdstreetshoe.com/. I had some Shamans done there this summer and they came out like new. |

ROCK AND RESOLE!!! Short Turnaround and fair prices. |

just got three pairs done by ramutas resoles out of Helena, MT. I was in town for the holidays, I took my shoes in just before Christmas, and they were done before New Years (saved me from having to pay for shipping). The shoes all look and feel/ climb like new again. I will definitely be getting more shoes resoled in the future! |
|
Both of my pairs of shoes from Locker are going strong. I had some anasazi verdes resoled with C4. The sides are blowing out but the the rubber refuses to give up. I also have some TC pros that were resoled with C4 and they're great. I still can't climb for shit, but at least I can't blame the shoes. |

"I still can't climb for shit".
I can relate. LOL! |

"Locker - how about just a few words describing the characteristics of each rubber?".
After work and a few "Hits" of the good shit, I'll try and slap a comprehensive rundown together and post it up. |

Cascade Cobbler in Trillium Washington. These guys have been working on my shoes for years now and I have yet to have anything but great experiences with their work and customer service. Their turnaround time is rapid, their prices competitive, and their work well done. On many occasions they have gone beyond the requested work to fix other areas of the shoe as well. Last pair I got back from them came back to me with needle and thread stitching on some areas of the shoe where the leather was coming apart. |

5.10 Stealth C4 Thick: 5.5mm, very sticky. Extremely popular all-around rubber. |

Before resole after resole I have received excellent service from rockandresole.com/ Those guys did great work and were super fast. They finally said, stop sending us these shoes and buy some new ones on one pair, but they had already brought them back to life multiple times. climbingresoles.com/ was difficult to work with and slow, but I know others who really have had positive experiences with them. The Rubber room has done great work and sent me an amazingly awesome t-shirt, so keep them in mind. |
