olyclimber Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I know this has been discussed a couple times before, but post here where you take your shoes to get resoled. I know Ramuda just moved out of state (from WA), but you can send your shoes to him or drop them off still at a few places in Seattle? I'll stick up at the top of this forum once we get the details here. If you have a phone number or address, add it in here. Quote
spotly Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 In Spokane, Resas (spelling) on Division (across from White Elephant) does a good job. I've have mine done there 3 times and they've held together really well. Quote
Dannible Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I sent mine to Ramuta's in Montana (search for them online) at the beginning of the summer because last year I dropped them off there (in seattle), and they showed up in the mail just 3 or 4 days later. This year he got them back to me before I even paid for them. I saw a advertisement for a place in Winthrop, but I don't know anything about it. Quote
Rad Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Dave Page, Cobbler, 3509 Evanston Ave. N., 206-632-8686, www.davepagecobbler.com I've never had problems there, but some have made noises about poor customer service. Dave told me during the summer he has/had guys working on the rock shoes on the weekends. I dropped my shoes off Friday afternoon and had them back Monday morning. No shipping reqd. You might ask him if/when this summer thing is ending. I had called Ramuta and was told the wait would be at least 2-3 weeks (that was about 6 weeks ago). That may have changed. Quote
Vlaming Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Also had one week service from Ramuta this spring. Sent in Monday, back Thursday. Quote
new2ctownclimbr Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 The Rubber Room in Bishop, CA. Rubberroomresoles.com Just got 3 pairs back from there for 110 bucks and it only took 2 weeks. It might be more money if you need rand work but check the website for details. Anyway, I have used them for almost 14 years and they always do good work. Quote
RuMR Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 ramutas... you will not be disappointed...period. Fair price, fast turnaround and absolutely unbelievable workmanship. Quote
suckbm Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Cascade cobbler- www.cascadecobbler.com did two pairs for me. They were quick, well done, and i even got a check back for overpaying because one pair didn't need rand work. Quote
Doug Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Never mind that other shit, use Ramuta. He's a swell guy. Really Quote

pink Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 barry's resoles . you can find him in the fag mags. Quote
Kane Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Not sure about the people in Winthrop but the guy here in mazama that lives at outwardbound does a good job. Thats what I hear atleast, I ll use him when I need it. Quote
Jens Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I'm super anal about my resoles. Nobody's perfect. Ramuta is pretty good though. I've only been unhappy with about one job in the last seven or so. Although I wish he would put thinner pieces of rubber on for better sensitivity. All in all, he's awesome! Page's is weird, I've seen the most amazing work of all time and some work that so crappy, the shoes were virtually unusable. My theory is that if Dave does em', they rock. He can put a super thin slab of rubber that is of consisten thickness for uber senstitivity with great rand work. If one of his underlings does em', throw the shoes away. Just a theory. Quote
TeleRoss Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I had a pair of approach shoes resoled recently at Dave Page. The first day I wore them, they started to delaminate. By the end of the day, about half of the sole had peeled. I bought some cement, and glued them back together myself. Just one experience though, maybe one of his underlings did the work. Next time, I'll request that he does it. Quote
AvlNC Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 http://www.rockandresole.com/ i started using these guys when i was in co. since i have tried mountain soles in PDX (not impressed), the Rubber Room (good work, but slower), and some cobbler guy in Idaho (can't remember who) and i will always use Rock and Resole. they do excellent work every time, quick service--even mailing them there you will have them back in i week or a week and a half, price is decent, have done rush orders for me at no extra cost, repairs, etc. these guys have my loyalty.

Kane Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Mine are at cascade cobbler right now,so when I pick them up I ll make sure to post how they are. Quote
Kane Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Fellas, Just met james at CascadeCobbler and he's cool, and is doing my shoes on a couple hours notice. The cool thing is that he showed me the process, and even though its not listed he can use Onyx Rubber, which alot of other places dont offer. The prices are good too, check him out. Quote
suge Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Just wanted to chime in with some recent experience. I had my Katana's resoled at Rock and Resole in Boulder, CO. The cost was $39 including shipping both ways, with C4 rubber. Now, the neat thing is the time: 1 week, from when I sent the shoes to when I got them back. Quote
mythosgrl Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 My La Sportiva Mythos shoes are in desperate need of repair. I want to go with Rock and Resole, but am not sure which sole to order (this is my first time doing this). I basically want them to have the same kind of sole as when they were new. These are my choices: 4mm La Sportiva XS Grip 5mm La Sportiva XS Grip 4 mm Five Ten C4 5.5 mm Five Ten C4 Onyx thin 4mm XSV 5 mm XSV Mixed (Explain in comment section) Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks. Quote
pink Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) because john frieh doesn't use it. Edited April 30, 2008 by pink Quote
skibum1087 Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 rock and resole just did mine, I'll echo everybody elses thoughts. Great work, quick turnaround time, and really friendly on the phone if you have questions. Quote
Lodestone Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Anyone have experience with Mountain Soles in Portland? That's who was recommended to me (for local work). Chad Quote
nkane Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I've gotten few shoes resoled from Mountain Soles. My experience is that he may not be the world's fastest resoler, but he does a really good job, and the fact that you don't have to wait for shipping pretty much makes up the speed difference. Quote
