Whether you’re sporting the latest model climbing shoes or slab happy in your old favorites, one thread connects all climbers; we love our shoes. At The Rubber Room, we’ve spent years climbing and caring for rock shoes. Our evolving techniques will revitalize your favorites while maintaining their glove-like fit.

Work that we perform

Resole: A resole is a general term for applying new soles to shoes. BITD shoes were inexpensive and climbers wore them to the bitter end. Before the advent of Sport climbing trad shoes needed full soles and rands. As climbing evolved and the shoes changed it became more appropriate to resole just the front “½ sole” of the shoe. Further advancing in design have brought the “Split” sole or “Pad” sole. We use some factory replacement parts or replicate the factory pad with your choice of rubber.

When necessary the rands are repaired as well.Check out this short video “A Day in the life of a shoe”
