When should I resole my climbing shoes?
These are general guidelines for resoling. They are by no means the answer to every question you have. If you are unsure what work you need or if you want to ask a specific question, head over to our contact page and submit a photo of your shoes along with your question.

Just Soles
You should just need new soles. Unless this is the second resole, then you'll need rands as well.

Soles and Rands
We'll have to replace the rands you've worn away.

Soles, Rands, and More
Just a bit of sewing and your shoes can be saved. When in doubt, send us a photo on our contact page.

Resole Services
Half Sole$55 per pairThe all important contact part of your shoe. The front half of your sole gets replaced with fresh smearing, edging sticky goodness of your choice. You'll be able to choose from our many rubber options
|
Climbing Shoe Rand Work$15 per ShoeThis is that layer of rubber that maintains the shape and performance of your shoe. If it's damaged or been worn out, it needs to be removed and replaced. You may have the heard the term "toe cap." Same thing. Every shoe that needs rand work, will also need a half sole replacement.
|
Full Sole$70 per pairSame as the half sole option, but we replace the rubber heel to toe. Not every shoe can get this done.
|
SewingStarts at $15Velcro, straps, seams, toe patches, etc. We will either hand sewn or machine sew what needs to be done. Prices are based on complexity and length of patch.
