Climbing shoe resole FAQFrequently asked questions

Most of them. Now and then a shoe is too far gone, or built in a way that isn't worth resoling. If that's yours, we'll tell you before doing anything.

A good resole brings back the original edge and profile, so they fit and climb like the pair you broke in, and usually far better than the worn sole they came in with.

We use Vibram XS Edge and XS Grip2 right now, and we're hoping to add more soon.

Usually about 2 weeks from when your shoes reach us, depending on how busy we are and what they need. Bulk orders can take a little longer.

A resole with fresh Vibram is $79. If the toe rand has worn through it's $94, and $109 if there's a hole to patch as well. No-Edge shoes and toe-cap replacement are +$20 each. Return postage within Singapore is $6, and 5 pairs or more get 10% off. We'll confirm the price after we've looked at your shoes.

Check the before-and-after photos on the pricing page and match them to your shoes. Not sure? Pick your best guess on the order form and we'll confirm once we've had a look.

Yes. There are Solah drop-boxes at Climb Central Funan, Climb Central Sports Hub, Boulder Planet Tai Seng and Boulder Planet Sembawang. We collect from each gym every two weeks (the home page shows the next dates), and they're usually ready about three weeks after we collect. You can also bring them to our workshop at 32 Kaki Bukit Crescent #05-18, Singapore 416262, or post them there.

7pm on the gym's pickup Friday. Anything dropped in after that goes out with the next collection from that gym, two weeks later.

Once we've looked at your shoes and sent a quote, we'll share payment details for PayNow. Pay before you collect them or we post them back.

Usually. Look after the upper and a shoe can go through plenty of resoles, which is the point: keep climbing on them instead of buying new. It comes down to the state of the rand and upper, which we'll check when they arrive.

No-edge shoes have no sharp edge where the sole meets the rand. The rubber wraps round the toe in one rounded curve, so you can stand on the whole tip instead of one edge. La Sportiva's Genius, Futura, Mantra and Mandala are the classic examples. Yes, we resole them, but they take extra care to keep that rounded profile, so there's a +$20 No-Edge add-on. Put the exact model on your order and we'll confirm before starting.

The toe cap is the patch of rubber over the top of your toes, the bit you toe hook with. When it's worn thin, torn or peeling off, we replace it with fresh rubber for +$20 on top of your resole.

Approach shoes and mountaineering boots are built differently from rock shoes, so they aren't part of what we do right now. Send us a message and we'll let you know if we can help.

Not yet, but it's on our list.

We're focused on Singapore for now. If you're overseas and keen, get in touch and we'll see what we can do, though return postage and timing will vary.

If a resole we did starts peeling under normal use within 2 weeks of getting your shoes back, tell us and we'll sort it out for free.
