WE DO NOT RESOLE APPROACH SHOES
ARE MY SHOES REPAIRABLE?
If there is a hole through both the rubber and the synthetic or leather upper on your shoe, it may not be repairable. Whether or not we can fix it depends on a number of factors. Please feel free to email us pictures of your shoes if you are unsure if they can be repaired.
RESOLE REPAIRS
Sometimes there is no visible hole in the rand but there may be other physical evidence that the rand is wearing thin. On the form, you can either give us trust to replace the rand or select the option to contact you if Yosemite Bum believes the rand needs to be replaced.
If the rand needs to be repaired on your shoe(s), the sole will also have to be replaced. Rands cannot be repaired without also replacing the sole. Refer to our FAQ page to learn more about rand repair. Refer to the prices below for half sole and full sole repair.
*Full sole repair may be necessary if your shoes have been resoled in the past depending on the work performed previously.

ADD ON SERVICES
We can add a stiff mid-sole to your shoes or replace your mid-sole in the toe box to give you extra support and edging power. This repair may also be necessary if your mid-sole has cracked, torn, or is otherwise damaged from normal wear and tear.
The mid-sole of a shoe lies between the rubber out-sole and the synthetic or leather upper of your shoes.
*Rand repair is necessary to perform this service.
**Caution: Adding a stiff mid-sole may alter how your shoes feel when they come back to you. Please keep this in mind when requesting this service.
Add extra rubber on top of the toes (Super Rand) to help with toe-hooking or protecting the uppers when crack climbing.
*Super Rands are not possible to add to ALL types of shoes. Only shoes with adequate space available can have these services performed.
Add extra thick layer of rubber to the rand (Double Rand).
**Caution: adding rubber to the top of the shoe may alter how your shoes feel when they come back to you. Please keep this in mind when requesting this service.
SHOE STRETCHING
It's not uncommon for people to buy climbing shoes that are too small or too big. While we can't effectively shrink a shoe for you, we can stretch them if they're too small.
Shoe stretching services are free of charge excluding shipping costs. Please let us know on your order form if you would like your shoes stretched either 1/2 or 1 full size.
*Shoes are not designed to be artificially stretched and doing so could jeopardize the integrity and warranty of your shoes. We perform this service as a last resort and do not claim any responsibility for shoes that have changed shape or no longer perform as intended.
NO EDGE RESOLES
We do not currently perform no-edge resoles. If you own a shoe with La Sportiva’s No-Edge “technology” we can still resole the shoe, however, your shoe will come back to you with a standard climbing shoe edge. If you really like the way the No-Edge performs, we can mildly round out the edge of the outsole by grinding it smooth (this will result in a reduced lifespan of the resole) or we will climb in your shoes until they are round again, whichever you prefer.
