dberdinka Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 So Dave Page is the old standby, but I can't say I've ever been overwhelmed by their consistency. Anyone out there have any recommendations for a great (mailorder) resoler? Thanks. Quote
allison Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Ramuta's in Seattle is the bomb. Not sure if they normally do the mail order thing, but I would not be surprised if they would do it on request. They do a beautiful job, even if you wait too long to get it done! I think they do a way nicer job than the other shop in town. Quote
Jens Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 I wish resolers were more like McDonald's -more consistent. With just about anybody it seems like you can get a really good resole or a poor resole. Did the guy doing your shoes have a great morning or wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Ramuta and Page can be good in my experience. A guy called valley cobbler in Kent used to be really, good perhaps the best in the NW but I don't know if he is still working. He would do custom bevels for edging shoes and other specifcs that you wanted. He used C4 and never seemed to put to thick a slab of rubber on like some of the other guys would. By the way , does anybody else think that the latest Boreal Rubber sucks bad? It is worse than the old maestro rubber they used. I don't think anybody on the planet can do a decent toe rand patch job. If the rand is trashed, do the whole rand or throw away the shoes. Or use them for bouldering at wild waves in Federal Way. Speaking of water, who'll give me the beta on the really cool looking concrete pilar bolt on job on above the water at LW? Quote
chelle Posted June 7, 2002 Posted June 7, 2002 I just had my favorite pair of shoes resoled by a guy in CA who came highly recommended by friends. The guy did a great job and loves what he does so much that he sends a personal letter back with the shoes to let you know he appreciates your business. If he thinks you could be doing things differently to take care of them he'll include that in the letter. He uses stealth C4 rubber. You can specify the original thickness on the rubber or tell him how many mm you want. Check him out.
