Sub Par 2 out of 5 stars

Review by: jbrown2, 2012-07-30


To: Rock and Resole

What sort of business does not have contact info on their website. They must be scared of their feedback. Because the do a sub par job.

We just had 5 pairs of shoes resoled by Rock and Resole. Great turn around time, Just under two weeks. And they stock La Sportiva XS Edge. Thanks. You came very highly recommended.

Here is the issue. I asked for down turn on all shoes. This was not done. I don’t want non down turned shoes. They do me no good where I climb. So now I have some shoes with brand new rubber that are useless. If you couldn’t down turn them call me. I’ll get another company that I have had great experience with to do it.

Second. The rands you put on are a hack job. You really cut just the tip of the rand and glue on a little patch. That is NOT top of the line industry standard for rand replacement. I could see if it was a discount job but it was not. Ill be pissed if I they peel off or I find that the leather is cut under the rand too.

Three. The edge of the sole does not match up nice and square with side of the shoe. This is a major issue. If I cant edge REALLY well than the shoe becomes useless.

Four. This is not my first time having my shoes resoled. The company before did a nice job on the sole and left a nice crisp seam where the front sole was replaced. Instead of using that seam to replace the sole your resole tech decided to use one inch less rubber. Now I have two seams. The new one being one inch closer to where rubber meets rock. it just does not make sense. now there is a one inch strip in the ball of my foot. I'm thinking its going to delaminate.

You all came highly recommended. I'm fairly disappointed. 188 dollars spent. Id say I'm 60 dollars happy.

Non-typical work ethic! 5 out of 5 stars

Review by: singletrackmike, 2012-05-15


These guys must have been bored when I sent my shoes to them on a Friday (from the East coast), and got them back 10 calendar days later. I would have expected them a couple of weeks later being I sent them at the start of the climbing season. And a great job on resoling 32 yr old high-top Sportivas. I felt guilty only paying $39 (postage included)! I want these guys to run the government!

Super, Super Fast! 5 out of 5 stars

I could not believe how fast Rock & Resole was with resoling my Scarpa Force's. I shipped them practically across the country (VA to CO) USPS Parcel Plus, and had them back in about a week, ready to go!

Not to mention they have some of the best prices around. Haven't gotten the shoes on the rock yet, but the work looks just as good, if not better, than other resoles I have had.

If you're looking for a place to send your shoes for resole, look no further than Rock & Resole.

-EDIT- Got them on the wall at the gym tonight, and one could argue they feel better than the original rubber! Had Rock & Resole put the XSV rubber on, and it's stiff and grippy - felt great on the wall.

Great job! 5 out of 5 stars

I've sent two pairs of different shoes to Rock & Resole and both have come back with an awesome resole job. I have been very pleased with their work! Oh yeah, their prices are really good, too.

I've been at this game 30 years, and resole like crazy. These guys are the best--sorry wilson's.
