Resole in SLC
|
Hey all, I've never had shoes re-soled before, mostly because before now I've used synthetic shoes and they STUNK. But now I have a pair of Anasazi VCS that I am well and trully in love with. I wanna get them resoled before its too late, but I've never done it before, and I don't really know where to go and what to ask for. |
|
Try IME climbing shop..behind REI .. They will help |
|
Get them resoled by a reputable resoler. The extra cost/time in shipping is usually worth it for a better job (new Anasazis aren't cheap...). |

+1 for rubber room |
|
Sweet, thanks for the responses. Sounds like rubber room it is. If I was choosing out if the blue I would have chosen them anyway cause I love there little ad in R&I. Thanks guys |

I sent mine to Locker and he did a great job. Can't complain. |

I ended up going with a local named Don Roundy. Found a add of his in REI. He says he can have it done in one day, I'll let you all know how he does! |
|
For anyone that's intersted, I got my shoes done by Don Roundy. I dropped em off at 8:30 pm and got a call at noon the next day saying they were done. It was about 50 bucks and I'm pleased as punch. Definitely recommend him. |
|
Anyone else use Don Roundy? What rubber did he use? I'd so much rather drop off and pick up than mail shoes off. |
|
I've used Komito's (Colorado) twice and they have done a great job. My brother has sent his shoes to Rock and Resole and he thought they did a good job. Sending them off to Colorado though is very expensive, so I found Don Roundy locally and decided to try him. Unfortunately one of the shoes came back a bit warped in the toe and it has never fit right since. Don is a talented shoemaker, but he's not a climber and I don't think he resoles a lot of climbing shoes. I hope others have a better experience because it would be great to have someone local who can do it. I think Don used Stealth rubber on my shoes. |

I personally had a bad experience with Roundy in SLC. Super nice guy, fast turnaround, but my Miuras are wrecked. Not sure how experienced he is with climbing shoes, the edges/toes are really messed up. Debating whether I will have to buy a new pair or try and get them fixed at R&R (or somewhere else). I had 2 pairs of shoes resoled and the toe rands replaced for $50. Thought it was too good to be true... It was. Might be OK for lower end shoes, but I can't recommend the guy. |
|
I've referred two of my friends to Don Roundy and he botched both of their resoles. He then offered to redo them for free and botched them again. So I would strongly recommend not going to him. Personally, I've been using only Rock & Resole for the past 4 years and I've never had a problem with them. |

Yosemite Bum. Good work and fast turnaround. Free shipping with three pairs. |

Although there were some recommendations to Locker, his website business is "closed." No new business via the website?? |

No new business via the website?? positiveresoles.com/It's high season in Joshua tree... lots of people dropping off shoes at Nomad. Locker won't take on work he can't turn around in time to keep customers happy... which is a good thing :-) Locker's work is always worth the wait... if you can wait. |
