Waar Kan Ik Mijn Klimschoenen Laten Verzolen?

Where can I have my climbing shoes resoled?

 

Keypoints
  • You can have your climbing shoes resoled at affiliated Resole locations, climbing gyms with resoling services, or by sending them in.
  • Resoling extends the lifespan of your shoes, is cheaper than buying new ones, and is sustainable by reducing waste and resource use.
  • The resoling process usually takes one to two weeks, and you can choose from different types of rubber, tailored to your shoe model.

 

Climbing shoes are essential for climbing or bouldering. With intensive use, the rubber-especially at the toe-wears out and can reduce your shoes’ performance. Resoling is a sustainable and cost-effective solution to keep using your favorite shoes longer.

Where Can You Get Resoling Done?
Resoling climbing shoes is specialized work and is offered at various locations in the Netherlands:

  • Specialized resolers: Companies like Resole, Zapatos-Climbing, SOeScalade, and Curada Resole are recognized for climbing shoe resoling. You can drop off your shoes at one of their locations or send them in.
  • Climbing gyms: More and more gyms such as Monk collaborate with resolers. For example, you can hand in your shoes at Monk or Mountain Network, after which the resoler picks them up and returns them.
  • Brand recommendations: Brands like La Sportiva and Scarpa list trusted resolers on their websites.

How Does Resoling Work?

  • Drop off or send your shoes to the resoler or an affiliated climbing gym.
  • Indicate where the wear is and your preferences for the type of rubber. Different types are available, depending on your climbing style and needs.
  • The resoler will assess whether resoling is still possible. Small holes can often be repaired, but if the hole is too large (e.g., you can stick a pen through it), repair is usually not feasible.
  • The average turnaround time is one to two weeks, depending on workload and repair type.
  • You get your shoes back with new soles, ready for use.

Benefits of Resoling

  • Cost-effective: Resoling is much cheaper than buying new shoes.
  • Sustainable: You save resources and energy, and reduce your CO2 footprint by up to 94% compared to buying a new pair.
  • Comfort: You don’t need to break in your shoes again, as the fit remains the same.

Conclusion
By having your climbing shoes resoled, you extend their lifespan and save money and the environment. Choose a reliable resoler and ask about the options so you can quickly get back to climbing in your favorite shoes.
