    Berkeley Resole - climbing shoe resoling - new company

    I think somebody on the thread about the closing of the berkeley marmot mtn works lamented about the loss of the cobbler/resoling services with the closing of the store. well....

    Tom Wandall, has started his own resoling services. http://berkeleyresole.com/. Tom was the cobbler at the former marmot mountain works.

    Tom does great work and does great custom work; he's resoled thousands of climbing shoes and has resoled many of my 'scrambling' shoes with dot rubber. i encourage all'y'all to support this blossoming business.

    it's great to see the first start-up get traction from the ashes of the services available at the former marmot mountain works. i wish slobmonster, paul, and the others luck in their (hopefully similar) endeavors.

    pardon the spam. i'll move this to a different chatroom if appropriate.

    I miss having quality Boots and shoes with access to a good shoe repair.

    Maybe in this economy and the (BUY AMERICAN) push this thing will come back.

    If Tom is any good he should get all the work he can handle.

    I have a pair of hiking boots I bought in 1980 that I have had resoled twice and had other interrnal work done. They will last forever.
    Own your fail. ~Jer~
