Peoples opinions seem to change on the subject, so who do we like for resoles these days?

I have been using Rock & Resole in Boulder - they have a quick turnaround, also heard good things about Shoe Doctor up in Plattsburg.

My Resole Status:

Although I had recently given up resoling, in my experience, the two resolers metioned here have always been reliable.

Last time I checked, perhaps a year ago, RR was charging almost $100 for half soles, rands and shipping. R&R was as usual a bit less. At that time I paid $125 for new Katana's, the first in a long time I could not find them for under $100. I have never had a pair of resoles last as long as new shoes, and occasionally trying different resolers ended up wasting money and a pari of shoes.

Anyway, I see that they are back to their normal rates of app $60 and I have shoes to send them. In the mean time I let some wear to far to be worth resoling and tossed them.

Oh to answer the question: No change in where to send them for me. But now with pricing returned to normal I will resole them instead of wearing them completely out.

I used Mark Meschinelli in the Dacks last fall for a pair of climbing shoes and a pair of Cirque Pros. He did a great job with quick turn around, real pros.

Note that with their order form they give a fax #. I filled out the form, faxed it and then shipped the shoes. I got them back about a week and change later looking great with a note saying, "hey Joe, just give a call when you can to pay us". I called right off with cc info and told him I'd faxed the form, he said, "oh, we don't have a fax machine". Old school.

I'm game and I'll report back - though I regretted it last time I wrote this because I really wanted to like the resoler. Unfortunately the shoes were almost unwearable.

Must be trying to support a "local" since $35 + (2 * 9) + 5 = $58 isn't really less that the two resolers I already trust.

The Rubber Room charged me 60 for C4 rubber and they did some stitching for free and returned my shoes when they said they would.

I do take mine to mark meschinelli because i live nearby and it's very convenient. Also, he's done a good job every time except one - and that one time, took them back and he fixed them up right.
