RuMR Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Just got two pairs back... One, a pair of dragons, has the downturned toe rebuilt with the downturn still there...the other pair are anazasis... this work is amazing...broken in shoes with crisp soles...climb better than new! :tup: :tup: :tup: Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I second that. They do great work on nicely shaped toes for crack climbing. Love it! Quote
Rafael_H Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Cannot compare, only used Ramuta's - since 1998. Work is generous and of very high quality. Quote

Maxtrax Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 John definitely knows what he's doing. I sent a pair of Katanas in last year, he said they would take at least 2-3 weeks, had them back in my hands 10 days after I shipped them to him and they were better than new. Quote
StreetBoss Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) John is the best, wouldn't use anyone else. Edited March 16, 2010 by StreetBoss Quote
RuMR Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=251746&tn=40 dude, go somewhere else...start your own thread... Quote
ryanb Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) I used to work right by the Ramuta family's downtown shop before the rock shoe operation moved to montana and got hooked on fresh c4 perfectly glued by expert hands. I've tried other resolers but ramuta keeps me coming back...i've had some shoes (miuras, mocasyms) go back for multiple resoles till I wore holes in the uppers and stretched the leather beyond usability. Good stuff. Edited March 16, 2010 by ryanb Quote
tradhead Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 I have nothing but great things to say about Ramuta's work. Timely, fair prices, and imppecable workmanship. As RUMR said, a freshly resoled pair of broken-in shoes from Ramuta are better than a new pair at significantly less cost. As another plus, his resoles are bomber - I've never had one delam unlike the other guy in Fremont (Dave XXXX) where delams were a constant issue and often very severe the few times that I used him...

Wakaranai Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Ive tried Rubber Room, Page and others, no doubt Ramutas work is the best. Going there for 4 years Quote
zeroforhire Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Another thumbs up for Ramuta's. I have been taking my rock shoes there for years, and have had nothing but good experiences. Quote
AlpineBY Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Only ever used Ramuta's for past 10+ years. John does great work and it's always on time. Quote
LostCamKenny Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 mountain soles in portland does fine work too. i've taken six pairs of shoes to them over the past four years and each time they outdo themselves in every way - quality of work, service, speed, advice, and they aren't too bad on the wallet, either.
