Normally $30 for a pair of half sole resoles. This can increase if you want a full sole resole or need rand work.

I just got a full resole done on my shoes. I had worn all the way through the rubber, rand, and some of the rubber. I had a comp 4 days after I realized they needed to be resoled, so I climbed on leather, and still won! Anyway... send your shoes to www.yosemitebum.com they do a great job, and it is not too expensive

Resoling your shoe in my opinion should only be done once or twice. Any shoe that is resoled has a preformance that is not as good as a brand new one. The rubber doesn't last as long and the edges aren't as good. Just use your head, by the time you resole your shoes twice you could have a brand new pair and won't have to resole them for like 5 months or so.

I have had mine re-soled 2x. Each time it was between $40 and $45. I had to have some rand work done, so that might have been why the price was high. The guy who did mine said that once or twice is about it for re-soles.

A good friend just got his 3rd resole 4 months ago, it was $48 or so but he's not happy with the shoe's performance. It looks like second time's the charm here.
