Resole Guide and Terminology

What is a Resole?

When a climbing shoe becomes worn out, a resole involves removing the old, worn sole and replacing it with a fresh one, restoring the shoe's grip and performance.

Half Sole

The upper half of the shoe is the half sole and is
frequently the portion of the shoe that needs to be replaced.

Full Pad

The full pad option is reserved for shoes with pads rather than a full sole. If you prefer the entire pad to be resoled, choose the full pad option.

Stitching

Stitching is only recommended for blow outs where a sizeable hole is present. If the material beneath the rubber is split and there is no stitching present, or if the stitching is broken, add the stitching option to your order.

Toes

We offer two kinds of toe repair: Toe Replacement or a Toe Cap. If sensitivity in the toe is important to you, we recommend a toe replacement. If you prefer more durability, then a toe cap is the best choice as it adds another layer to the rand (the rand is the rubber which wraps around the outside of the shoe above the sticky rubber on the sole). Usually, rand rubber is noticeably stiffer and firmer. Toe caps are great for indoor climbing and abrasive walls.

Choosing Rubber

If you can't decide on the type of rubber, here are what each type is good for:

Davos

Davos Evolution: Good for hanging climbs and bouldering - Soft

Davos Zero: Good for friction and climbs where precision is key, such as slab - Medium 

Davos Plus: Good for durability and adherence - Hard

Vibram

Vibram XS Grip: Good for friction and grip - Softer

Vibram XS Edge: Best for precision, edging, and durability - Harder

Order Details and Multiple Pairs

If you are ordering multiple pairs to be resoled, either submit a separate form for each
pair, or use the order details box to indicate what you’d like done for each pair. Here is an example:

Scapa Vapor V - Vibram Edge, Both Toe Cap, Left Stitching
La Sportiva Skwama - Vibram Grip, Full Pad, Right Toe Replacement
