Vibram Rubber

Medium-soft rubber.

Great bouldering rubber!

XS Edge (4mm)

Improved resistance to bending and distortion means it retains its shape very well. Excellent grip and performance for high degree of difficulty. Ideal for extended use and extreme routes.

Hard Rubber.

Great outdoor rubber!

XS Marchiata (3.5 and 5mm)

While suitable for outdoor applications, this rubber has been designed specifically for indoor gym use. With superior traction and maximum grip, this slip-resistant rubber balances between soft and sticky.

Soft Rubber.

Great gym rubber!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at bayareaclimbingresole@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What should I expect from resoling?

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.

How long does a resole last?

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.

I have resoled before and did not keep the integrity of my aggressive shoes. How can you fix that?

We maintain the aggressive (downturned) or asymmetrical (turned in) nature of the shoe intact with custom molds and pressure techniques.

What is the difference in rubber? How will it affect my performance and comfort?

We offer various rubber compositions. Vibram* includes 'Grip,' which is a supportive rubber, 'XS Edge' which is a hard 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.

How does the pickup and delivery work?

If you are located in the Berkeley/Oakland/El Cerrito/Alameda area, we organize personal pickups and drop-offs throughout the week, or at the East Bay gyms. San Francisco is limited to Saturday, and we are willing to accommodate pickup and drop-off requests outside of the listed areas for a small fee. No shipping necessary!

There is a hole in the leather of my shoe. Is it saveable?

Coming soon... We will fix the leather material in the toe box, stitch it together and add a rubber toe cap.

About Bay Area Climbing Resole

Our History

Bay Area Climbing Resole was founded in the East Bay by two outdoor enthusiasts who share a love for rock climbing. Having been dissuaded by long wait times and mailing shoes away, we decided it was time for quality resoles to be available in The Bay. Based in Berkeley, our business thrives on serving both indoor and outdoor climbers!
