Resoling your climbing shoes is a great option to extend the life of your shoes whilst giving you fresh rubber to help you send your project.
Imagine your lovely worn in shoes but with some fresh rubber and sharp edges!
So next time your soles are wearing consider resoling rather than buying new!
Why should you resole before replacing?
Environment
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and resoling is a big part of this!
The environmental impact of buying a new pair of shoes and throwing away your old ones adds up. Even with our environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing process you will be creating more emissions and using more materials.
With a resole you avoid your old pair being thrown out and just replace the rubber! Meaning you have happy feet and have a lesser effect on the environment.
Performance
You know the feeling when you have got your shoes or boots fitting just right, they are nicely warn in, comfortable and perform really well.
Now add some fresh rubber to the mix and you have a almost perfect shoe – moulded to your foot, but with the grip of a brand new shoe!
Cost
Resoling is cheaper than buying a new pair of climbing shoes!
You can extend the life of your favourite pair without the cost of buying a brand new pair, all while safe in the knowledge that your new soles will perform as well as a brand new pair!
How to resole your climbing shoes
You can choose to have your product resoled directly with us and our footwear experts in Italy or for a quicker service you may want to utilise one of our preferred partners in the UK.
If you opt to re-sole your footwear with us, then the footwear is sent back to our factory in Italy. Once there, trained experts with a lifetime of making boots and shoes will start working on your footwear.
Re-soling involves completely removing the existing used sole unit, cleaning and preparing the footwear, and then placing the footwear back on the original last (the last is the original model or shape around which your SCARPA boot or shoe is constructed, and is a critical part of what makes SCARPA footwear so special).
This crucial difference means the shoe/boot is rebuilt around the original shape, just as if it was fresh out of the factory. Once the footwear has been re-lasted, only then is the whole sole unit (not just the rubber outsole) is replaced with the newest version.
Please complete the form on our website, or give us a call on 0191 296 0212, and one of our team will be in touch with you to assist you with the best way for you to get your product back to us for a resole
