telemarker Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Has anyone had his/her shoes resoled here? I have typically used The Rubber Room, but am tired of their 8 week turnaround time. Cascade Cobbler advertises 10 day turnaround. Anyone have good experience with the job Cascade does? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboy Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Cascade Cobbler is highly recommended, timely, and will exceed expectations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrogers Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I have had several pairs resoled there. Good, reasonable, and fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yep. Good work and a reasonable turnaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telemarker Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well okay then. I'll give them a shot. Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgalitsky Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 just had 3 pairs of resoles from cascade cobblers. not the absolute worst i've ever seen, but close. i heard such good things about them, but apparently they've changed and i guess now they suck. my former pointed sport climbing shoes are now rounder than the mythos, and my mythos are rounder than they started out. what a really really awful experience and a waste of $100. shoot. back to barry's resoles again. . .

markwebster Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'll second barry's resoles. That guy is awesome. I've never had a resoler call me on the phone twice to ask me questions about exactly how I wanted the shoes done. Did I want thick or thin soles, did I really want the rands? He sent my rand money back...said they didn't need them. Barry is not the fastest, but he does awesome work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Who's Barry and what's his contact info? What's Ramuta's turnaround? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dberdinka Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hey Rad. Ramuta just turned around two pair of shoes in less than two weeks. You can always call and ask. Amazing work as usual. I called Barry and it was 6-8 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarryographer Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 +1 for Ramuta. I even saved shipping costs by dropping off and picking up at Vertical World. Takes a little longer that way though I think it was 3 weeks. But no shipping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tradhead Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Another +1 for Ramuta. I've had many resoles done with him and never had one delam, and they come back shape-wise looking close to new. Fast too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwebster Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Here is a thread about Barry's resoles. He doesn't have a website. http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=251746&tn=40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really, truly wanted these guys to be good, but unfortunately, I had the same experience, re: rounded toes on my normally pointed Miura's. Unusable. Money could have gone towards a new pair.

Hall Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I've always been satisfied with Mountain Soles in Portland. Used them this spring for 2 pairs of Sportivas. Back in <3 weeks and around $40 a pair. They looked as new. I've had the same pair of Muiras resoled by them 4 times over 8 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I forwarded this thread to the Cascade Cobbler team, whom I communicated with on my last resole. Perhaps they will learn from your comments and change their practices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Haven't had a resole in many years. I either don't climb enough to wear out the soles or my technique is so flawless that no rubber is lost while climbing. I think I need to climb more.

fallingcow Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I sent a pair of shoes to Cascade Cobbler (and confirmed delivery) over a month ago - delivered 09/27. Still no reply from them, their email is bouncing due to a full mailbox, and their phone also has a full mailbox. Does anyone know how to get in touch with them? Or did I just lose a pair of shoes? Anyway, I would not recommend Cascade Cobbler based on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwakaranai Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Ramutas I've resoled about 15 pairs of shoes through the years. Never been disapointed By his work. I've tried rubber room, D. Page, C. Cobbler,and Ramutas work is a step above the others mentioned ImO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_H Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I had good luck with Cascade Cobblers this summer. Good quality and good turn around. Sorry to hear you've been having issues with resposiveness. I'm sure you'll get your shoes back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayB Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Don't screw around...just send them to Ramuta... Yup. This thread was a good reminder to send another pair of shoes his way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
