FAQ RESOLE

Why are your hours so sproradic?

I work as a General Foreman on the LNG project in Kitimat B.C and I thought it was going to be summer job for me but has turned into 1 year plus.

What brands do you resole?

I've made the decision to focus on the La Sportiva and Scarpa brands. They are mostly built to resole and my shoe lasts/forms work best with those brands.

Whats the difference between all these rubbers?

Vibram XS Grip 5mm - The original sticky rubber. Still a very good option and only comes in a thicker 5mm so it will last a bit longer but you will lose some sensitivity.

Vibram XS Grip 2 - Softer composition, less durable but better grip and more sensitivity.

Vibram XS Edge - Stiffer composition, more durable and good platform for edgeing.

Davos Evolution - Similar to XS Grip 2. I feel that it's even softer and stickier therefore will wear quicker.

Davos Stick Plus - A good midway for stick and edge.

Davos Tecnostick - Its yellow! and Davos rubbers grippy option. Non marking. 

How often do you pick up/ drop off? 

I'll be shooting for 1st and 3rd wednesday of the month.

How long will my repair take?

You'll be notified of when the shoes will be scheduled to be worked on when you confirm the resole quote. Typically 4 - 6 weeks 

Do I need my rands repaired?

Probably yes, about 85% of resoles require the rand to be repaired. Sometimes this can only be judged when the resoling process begins. I will notify you if the work changes scope as I go through the resole process. 

What else can you fix?

Velcro straps. Laces. Pull tabs. Holes. Tidy up delaminating bits. Just mention your concerns in the comments section of the order form and I will take a look.

Can you fix shoes with holes in the toes?

Absolutely yes, if they are not too big. However, it is important to note that the best thing for the shoe is to catch it before this point. If you can see the material under the rubber stop climbing in them and get them resoled asap!

How much does it cost?

Varies depending on the repair. Check “services and rates” for pricing, if you still have unanswered questions drop us a line.

Can you fix only one of my shoes?

I do not fix singular shoes, except for adaptive climbers.

Can you repair No Edge shoes?

I'm sure I could but at this time I don't resole shoes with the No edge style. I don't have access to the specific replacement parts that some brands offer so it takes a significant amount of time to shape the sole for no edge.
