Post by 512OW »

Man, I don't know of anyone locally. We send ours out to Dave Page Cobbler http://www.davepagecobbler.com He has a really fast turn around and does quality resoles.
Does he have a strange bear claw like appendage protruding from his neck? He kep petting it.

Is it less expensive to resole than to purchase new ones?

Depends on the deal you can get on new shoes. Normally, a new pair can cost over $100 so a $35 resole is worth it. But if you can score a deal on a new pair, that would be my choice.

I've had a pair resoled at www.yosemitebum.com and they did a good job. They have a special going right now. $15 for a resole.

I have used The Rubber Room for resoles a bunch of times - they make resoles better than new. Their price is competetive. The turn around isn't too bad either.

I wouldn't send a pair of shoes to the Rubber Room if you hope to see them again within the next 100 years.
