Since the 1970's there has been a tradition of quality rock shoe resoles in the Eastern Sierra. First, Wheeler's Boot Repair and later Wilson's Eastside Sports assembled a team  of master cobblers and set the standard for performance resoles. Since 1981, Tony Puppo has been part of that team, Nan joined the team in 1996.  21 years, 3 shops, dozens of elves and over 40,000 pairs of shoes later, that tradition continues in the Rubber Room.
