For 20+ years I happily used the Rubber Room guys, back when they were the resoler for Wilson's Eastside Sports and then when they went independent and moved across the street. 2 years ago I took advice from a friend and tried Mark Meschinelli at the Plattsburgh Shoe Hospital and he's now done 5 pair of shoes for me (4 climbing and one approach). I can't endorse his work enough, and I've had 7-10 day turn around now every time, late fall, early spring or full summer. They come back fitting the same, and the performance has been superb. Mark is a high level climber and guide and a 3rd generation shoe repairman/cobbler, so I'll stay with him now. NY State is closer than California, and I like to shop as locally as I can. I know many other satisfied customers in northern New England as well. Jeff Lea
I met Mark at Poko and had him repair 6 pairs of shoes at once. He did a good job and had quick turn around, but only uses 5.10 rubber. He does not do full rand repair, so I used the Rubber Room for that repair and had them do a resole too. The Rubber Room took much longer, but their work was far superior.
