What's up with Pro Deal Resoles????

Any body know anything about Pro Deal resoles in Pueblo? I sent a pair of shoes to him early last month and can not get him to return my calls or answer emails. My tracking number shows the shoes were delivered and my check has been cashed, but my shoes have not been returned and I am getting no response from him. Anyone else had this type of problem with them? Can anyone help?

do a search, you will find tons of problems with Pro Deal, Benton has had 2 pairs of my shoes for 2+ months now, I will be in Pueblo in Dec and am going to pay a personal visit to him....good luck getting your shoes or money back.

I always stick with Rock 'n' Resole in Boulder. I've had nothing but good experiences for the 15 years I've been going there - and they usually have your shoes back in a week or so.

Hey everyone, thanks for info on Pro Deal. I wish I had asked before I sent my shoes. Now I am worried I will never see my shoes again. I will be placing a complaint with the bbb and leaving a few choice messages for Benett.

one more for Rock and Resole. Recommended by a friend, awesome service for me, and several of my friends.

Sorry about your troubles, friend. best of luck.

I cannot recommend Barry's Resoles enough. He does a flawless job on resoles. I have sent him both old and new shoes for resole and have always been impressed with the quality of work. And he throws in a piece a candy and thank you note when he sends your shoes back. As silly as that sounds, it's customer service unheard of in the resole world.

This is crazy, with all these people having issues with Pro deal, how has this guy stayed in business? What recourse do we have to either get Pro Deal to be a more responsible business or put him completely out of business? Has anyone met Benett in person? What is he like?

Obviously some people have contacted the BBB, and now Pro Deal has an F rating with the BBB, but that isn't doing any good.

It's hard to imagine that he's any more on time in paying his ISP than he is in sending us our shoes. If his ISP took down the website, a lot fewer people would be seduced by his promise of cheap resoles in 2-3 weeks. I assume the website is hosted on socolo.net, since that's where his email is hosted. It's tempting to try contacting them to inquire about shutting down the site if he isn't paying.

But getting the site shut down seems more like a job for the police. How many pairs of shoes does he have to steal before contacting the police is appropriate?

This guy in Pueblo sounds like he might have a serious drug problem.

Wow, I just realized that I used Pro Deal once about two years ago and would have recommended them. Too bad the business has gone down hill.

I also recommend rock and resole in Boulder. They have done 5 half sole for me and they were 100% reliable and did a great job.
Sorry you had to learn the hard way.

I've used Pro-Deal resoles a couple of times, but it's been several years. The first time I was really impressed: quick turn around and a job well-done; the second time took quite a while to get my shoes back, but I had a second pair, so it wasn't such a big deal. Since then I've moved to Boulder, so I decided to do a search on recommended local shops...glad I checked!

I tried contacting pro deal a couple of years back with no responses. So, I went with rock 'n' resole in Boulder. That was one of the worst resoles I have ever seen. The resole on my left shoe literally lasted two weeks before it started tearing off.

For my latest resole, I tried the Rubber Room out in CA. A little pricier, but so far the resoles have been great!

I sent two pairs of shoes to Pro Deal Resoles on 12/17/10. As of 1/20/11, I have not received the shoes, nor has Pro Deal Resoles returned my e-mails inquiring about them. Its voice mailbox for its 877- is also full, nor is it taking any phone calls during its supposed business hours.

While I have not been charged on my credit card for the shoes, I concur with the others who say that Pro Deal Resoles is entirely unresponsive and effectively stealing from and scamming people of their shoes. I just wish I had seen these fraud warnings BEFORE sending in my shoes:
merchantcircle.com/business…

Will file a police report and mail fraud complaint soon. Those who have been scammed by them should do the same.

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY.

Hey Felix,

I filed a police report and a BBB report on Pro deal resoles back in mid December with the Sheriffs department. If you haven't called them yet call Deputy Henratty at 719-583-6250. Maybe if enough of use complain they can put him out of business. At this point I just want my shoes back.

Let me know how it goes,

Kurt

Devin - sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Rock & Resole; did you return the shoes to them or at least contact them about the problem?

I sent two pairs to Rock & Resole in December. They got them back to me on a quick turnaround, just before they shut down for the holidays. Best work I've ever seen and they are holding up great! If it matters, for comparison, I had a pair of 5.10 Moccasyms and a pair of 5.10 Huecos, both resoled with 4 mm Stealth C4.
