In an effort to stop buying rock shoes, i'm considering getting a pair resoled with Feet First.

Does anyone have any useful experience on resoling. Is it worth £28 for example?

I was going to do this a while ago but after talking to some guys at my local climbing wall back home, it hardly seemed worth it.

The rubber is never as good and it peels off much quicker. Just bite the bullet and buy a new pair of shoes. Or use one of your (Many) other pairs!

I got a pair done and the rubber seemed fine, but it shrank them a bit - i dont think it was very much but enough to make them hurt quite a lot

My dad has just had his done, he seems really happy with them at the moment but I don't know how long it will last.

I was thinking of getting mine done to get rid of the boreal joker rubber and some decent 5:10 stuff on them
