obsydian Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Where is the best place to resole mountaineering boots in the Seattle area? (I tried searches and FAQ, nothing in this site). I have a pair of Montrails that are just plain worn out. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Try Dave Page in Fremont or Ramuta (sp?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 (edited) Dave Page resoled my Raichle Montangna boots and I was happy with the work. The cost was $60 and it takes up to a week.

Squid Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 I take my shoes to Ramuta's. - I've found their turn-around to be a little faster than Dave Page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Ramuta's says they do rock shoes and sandals, but do they resole boots? They claim to be the only third generation shoe repair in Seattle. I believe Chick's on Mercer Island is also third generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COL._Von_Spanker Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 I like Ramuta's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Ramuta's doesn't do hiking/mountaineering boots. I just asked them a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COL._Von_Spanker Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 That sux. Oh well. I though they did cause I was there and a guy was getting vibram lug soles put on his dress shoes, but I think they were wussy lugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remlec Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Are Montrails really worth resoling? My only resole experience was with Raichle Eigers 'cause I loved them and thought they'd go a few years. One season was it. They next year they blew out three miles from the car and I had to tie the soles back on wrapping accessorie cord around the whole thing to get me back. That's my last resole on low end climbing boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my Montrails, they are wide and lots of rubber on the toe for alpine rock routes. I have several hundred miles on them, a dozen alpine rock climbs, a few glacier climbs, they've held up well. I'll give Dave a try and see what happens. Might be better off buying new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
