What we repair
We offer half sole and rand repair depending on what your shoe requires. We can also replace damaged mid soles and repair certain holes and damaged seams. Our approach ensures that your shoes come back as close to new as possible, with the advantage of them already being broken in by you.
We use Vibram XS Grip, XS Grip 2, XS Edge, Unparallel RS, and RH - the legendary C4 compound.

Rubber types we carry
-
The high performance edging rubber for standing on the smallest of edges. Good for hard multipitch and steep edgy sport. Examples of shoes found on: La Sportiva Miura and Scarpa Vapor VS.
-
Offers a balance between durability, edging, and grip on any surface. Found on Tenaya shoes and older versions of La Sportiva and Scarpa.
-
The evolution of XS Grip, sticky rubber geared towards smearing, moderate edging, hard bouldering and overhanging routes. Examples of shoes found on: La Sportiva Solution and Scarpa Drago.
-
Slightly softer than XS Grip 2 and sticky as a pot of honey, this rubber is equivalent to the old Stealth C4 compound. High end rubber with a balanced capacity for edging and smearing. Found on the Unparallel line of shoes.
-
Even softer than RH and the stickiest pot of honey Pooh Bear ever tasted. This rubber is a highly sensitive performance rubber that’s great for smearing and sticking to steep terrain. If you’re looking for durable, edging rubber, don’t pick this one. Found on the Unparallel line of shoes.
A note about wear
Thin soles quickly lead to thin rands, and then holes—which can sometimes be beyond repair or compromise the fit and integrity of your shoe.
To extend the life of your shoes and avoid higher repair costs, send them in before you start wearing through the rand rubber.
Many factors can impact whether your rands will need to be replaced and most shoes we receive need rand work. Some damage isn’t visible until until we begin the repair process, so we may make the final call unless you request approval first.
Our goal is to return your shoes in the best possible shape while respecting your budget.
