Who do you all use to resole your beloved shoes?

I sent mine to Flyin Bryan (sp) and got them back in about 2 weeks. They did an excellent job. I have noticed that his prices have gone up where the cost of a resole with rands is about 2/3 to 3/4 the cost of a new pair of shoes.

Hey Steve,
first, thanks for the info on the no tresspassing signs earlier. As for resoles, I have been doing some research and came up with the following:
Don't use Rubberroom Resoles if you want to see your shoes this fall. I sent mine there and though they did a pretty decent job, it took them over a month to get them back to me.
From the posts on RC.com, it seems Yosemite Bum and Crescent Resolers are pretty good bets. I actually asked about CR, but YB got great reviews from pretty much everyone and both of them promised a quick turnaround. Both of them are about $32/pair + $6 shipping for a half resole and both have websites. CR doesn't take credit cards though, they ask that you send a personal check (yeah, I couldn't believe it either) or money order.
Hope this helps.

I had mine done by Brooke over at LR. Took about a week longer than he said they would but being that was just after his Mrs. just had their first kidlet so I didn't mind.

Oh yeah...that's right! Keith Moll sold him his business and trained him and Keith was taught by Flyin Bryan. If in Lexington, definitely go to Brooke. He just started a few months ago so I'm sure he could use the business and word of mouth referrals. And knowing Brooke, I'm sure he does good work.

Yep, Keith said that Brooke is doing a great job on them. He said it only took him a week or so to learn and that he's really good.

Jason at the friction fix is really good, as is the boulder shop. But, if Brooke is doing good work, then he would be my first choice.

Where can I get info on Brooke? I'd like to post this up in the 2 climbing gyms in Louisville so some of the business can be sent there.
