Best resoler especially to get LA sportive solutions as close to new as possible.  Angled toe like original?

I looked for other posts but no luck.  Wonder why there isn’t a word search.

Yosemite Bum has never done me wrong on any pairs I've sent.

Is a "word search" different than a forum search? I just searched for "best resole" and came up with a ton of threads. For solutions, your best bet is probably Rock and Resole. They're an authorized La Sportiva cobbler and they've restored my downturns. If you have something against Rock and Resole for whatever reason, below is the list of authorized Sportiva resolers

How is Greater Tahoe Gripworks not mentioned on here? He's the only authorized La Sportiva resoler in North America

Seen his work - top notch. But he only does Sportiva, you're out of luck if you want anything else resoled.

Doug at Positive Resoles in Joshua Tree did a great job with my Solutions ( and a bunch of other Sportiva models).

He also refuses to resole on shoes that are not in good shape. That jars a huge difference in the resole 

Meh. I've had multiple other resoles do that over the years if the shoes are marginal. I don't like toe caps or rand replacements. If the shoe is too far gone its just not worth it.

They did an incredible job with my solutions. The rubber came back indistinguishable from a brand new shoe.

The best resoler is the one having the most fun.

Hi all!

I’ve had shoes resoled by Yosemite Bum and there was little to no point done on the toes for an ‘aggressive’ shoe. Disappointed. I have also used On Site Resoles, great job but cud take weeks or months to get the shoes back bc the guy travels climbing  (can’t be mad at that!) . Also, how is Greater Tahoe “the only authorized La Sportiva resoler in North America” when there is a list given above? 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
