ReSole Mate was born out of the most basic premise of any successful small business; identifying and filling a need. With the cost of good quality rock climbing shoes at $200 or more, and the closest resoler located many hours from Phoenix, most climbers have to mail-in their shoes for resole. That additional shipping cost, and 7-8 week turnaround time causes most climbers to simply buy new shoes, rather than go through the hassle and expense of resoling.
After an apprenticeship with Gary Ballard, the Crag Cobbler in Pilot Point, TX to learn how to properly resole shoes, we set up a state-of-the-art specialty shop here in Gilbert, Arizona. After many repairs for friends and gym compadres, ReSole Mate officially opened for business serving the local climbing community in October, 2024.
As a small, family owned business, we rely on positive word of mouth referrals. We're located in Gilbert, AZ and serving all climbers in the Phoenix area. As trusted members of the local climbing community, we guarantee our work. If you are unsatisfied in any way, we will fix it. When it comes to resoling climbing shoes, we want to be your climbing partners for life!
