Your shoes will have a longer useful life, saving you money. They will also become slightly tighter, similar to how they were when first purchased, with the rubber softening after a few sessions. As the leather is previously stretched, you will enjoy more time with your already broken-in shoes.
A resole will last about the same time your original shoe sole-usually between 3-9 months. This depends on your frequency of use, your footwork, which includes kicking and dragging, as well as the thickness and texture of the rubber.
We maintain the aggressive (downturned) or asymmetrical (turned in) nature of the shoe intact with custom molds and pressure techniques.
We offer various rubber compositions. This includes 'Grip,' which is a supportive stiff rubber, XS Edge which is a soft rubber great for edging, and XS Marchiata (aka XS Flash) which is new to the market. It is a flexible rubber meant specifically for gym climbing.
Recently added to the arsenal is Unparallel, formerly the team from 5.10. We carry RH 4.2, which offers precision for edging as well as stickiness, and RS 3.5 which is a softer and grippier compound.
