Running off without paying, Matt? Poor Eduardo!
when you are an influencer. you pay with exposure ;)
bill zhou stop giving me flashbacks to the time working as a musician...
More videos like this please, how gym holds are made for example.
Look for eric karlssons the shaping series. Pretty in detail how Kilter makes their holds (:
Thanks for the excellent work you have done ...
come back to see me ...
thanks again edoardo
Edoardo Roagna, you are a true artisan. It was great watching you carefully ply your craft. Geat work. Well done.
"Today I'm going to find out how they repair my shoes"
Immediately leaves shop.
Who do you think filmed it :)
@@dailyclimbing so that went over your head 😅🤣
Much respect to true craftsmen like Eduardo. Great to see the process. It's awesome that you guys showed you can repair them, rather than just wastefully throwing them away and getting new ones.
This is giving me some serious “How It’s Made” vibes
amazing finish on those shoes. Sadly my resolers don't do such a great job on the finish as Eduardo does
Resoled my miura 5 times and my katana 4, but I'm now moving on some new testarossa for crag climb.
Excellent video. I was always interested to see how this was done.
Wow, that's amazing, it looks like a completly new shoe , well done 👍
I did not know this was even possible, nice to see!
Epic video! Get it? Epic! Never saw a video covering this. Great job! 👍🏽
Very informative video. I enjoyed it very much. I don't have shoes that are worth resoling at the moment, but this will change soon hopefully. This can also be an idea for a video, change or resole and when is the right time to do this.
I cannot help myself (because I am an engineer) and I must tell you that the machine used by Eduardo to shape the edges of the shoes was not a milling machine, but a bench grinder. These are two absolutely different tools. Sandals and climbing shoes.
Thanks for creating all the edges we need Eduardo :-)
This was very cool and different. Would love more.
Great video.. could you guys build on shoe maintenance and demo some of the odour fighting products out there? Id love to resole some of my older shoes but im not sure whats worse; old shoe stench, or breaking in a new pair
It's like you guys have been reading my google history.
Also, the pressure machine was satisfying to watch.
Outstanding work such a skilled trade. Very interesting upload wonderful.
great episode!!
Nice video! Also, you can make some videos about La Sportiva and Scarpa Official Resolers, they use the same spare parts from these brands, giving a like new shoe with similar first-day performance. It's a good action.
thx
i usualy resole my shoes 3 times before they have the right for retirement.
I've taken a miura through 6 soles, it's now time to retire it, but it served me well, always a loyal and precise companion
Some of mine have gone through 4 resoles already and they can keep going just fine.
@@melkorWTF it's amazing, good for both the environment, the wallet and the climber too because mine may be just a bit less precise, but they feel super comfy ahahah
@@REVOLUTIONS51 I think the enviromental aspect gets overlooked quite a bit. Just throwing a pair of otherwise good climbing shoes away because of a worn through sole seems so wasteful to me.
That was really interesting! Cool video!
TIL i obviously don’t climb enough as i havnt worn holes straight thru my shoes. Goals to reach for? 🤔
that was amazing
really cool to see the process, made me realize my second pair are too far gone to be repaired lol
Honestly one of the best things about wearing out the old pair of climbing shoes is the fact the new ones won't smell like a month old carcass on a hot sumer day.
If you make sure to leave your shoes outside of your bag to fully dry it shouldn't smell that bad. I do this to my shoes and they still smell like fresh leather after a couple of months.
@@screew708 or wash them from time to time :D
warm water soap and an unused toiletbrush can do wonders.
I'm recommending Boot Bananas. They work flawlessly.
I whack mine in the washing machine. 30°C with a little gentle soap. Beautiful.
I've resoled my old testarossas about 6 times now. The rung going behind the heel is all ripped up but I still use them. They are already beat up so beating them up won't make a difference right!? Anyways I hate buying new stuff, I find it very convenient that climbing shoes can be resoled easily.
Items needed:
Belt sander, (or angle grinder and flappy wheel) Sheet Rubber, Heat Gun or Heating Lamp set up ( alt Toaster.)
Mold for different size feat and Bench mount.
Specific contact adhesive/Glue
"And you're watching How It's Made on the Science channel"
good job
Hey Epictv, I noticed that a lot of people are using decathlon gear when climbing. Especially the climbing shoes are used a lot by beginners. I wonder if decathlon gear is a good option for beginners and would love to see a video about it!
The shoes are good for beginners, because they are cheap. For all the other things I would recommend other company's like petzl, la sportiva, edelrid and so on. Because your shoes are only for the first month, but when you buying a rope, Quickdraws, carabiners or a harness, you use it for years.
Hi. What is the brand of sole press machine which is using cobbler?
Where can I get the vibram sole for my la sportiva climbing shoes?
For those starting off climbing and discovering more and more about your footwork, wearing through one pair of shoes is an excuse to go shoe shopping. I'll save the resoling for when I find that perfect pair of shoes
Why not buy new shoes and resole your old ones?
Tobias Grätzer its cheaper and you dont have to go trought the process of breaking a new shoe
@@screew708 often times, cheap beginner shoes are not worth resoling because you'll probably never wear them again as you learn to use more technical shoes
I think even a cheap shoe can be worth resoling. A comfortable pair of climbing shoes is always good to have. Personally I wouldn't buy a shoe that is not worth resoling. It just doesn't make financial sense in the long run. But I guess beginnners tend to not want to investement much. Personally I've climbed quite some time in rentals before getting my first pair. But when I did, I went for some Scarpa Vapor V's which have now been resoled 2 times and still work really well. It's also worth thinking about the enviromental impact that buying new shoes instead of resoling worn ones has.
@@jmatisg6905 I think you've misunderstood me. I'm all for resoling. I think it makes sense to resole your first pair and buy a second one. This way you will always have a pair to climb in when one has to be resoled. You also get the chance to try a new shoe that may be a bit more aggressive or suited to one style of climbing
Used to do it in moccs 🤙🏼
You mentioned you should get your shoes resoled before they get holes in them, how can you tell it’s time just by looking at the shoe? I can never tell
Where do people get their climbing shoes resoled in the UK?
I’m so jealous I don’t have anyone like Eduardo around!
hola! saben si ese mismo servicio lo puedo encontrar en Colombia?
Only 7 minutes for that topic ?! We wanted 30 at least !
I was so happy with my Scarpa shoes being resoled! However I seem to have problem finding an official resoler for my La Sportivas.
Try restday or saltic as your resoler, they make a really good work and have all the different types of rubber.
I've used Cheshire shoes over the years to resole my LS Mythos (two different pairs, four resoles). I'm not a great climber but have been very pleased with each resole job each time. They were even happy to put C4 stealth rubber on once, but couldn't feel much difference at the time between C4 Stealth and XS Grip, but that was probably down to my inexperience. Either way I'm at least happy with their results as well as the cost of the resole and time (around a week before I have them back after posting them off to them).
@@jaakofagerlund4360 Sadly I live in Sweden, so that would end up being quite expensive resole :D
@@mikafull do you know anything how it works with shipping?

Can you cover all the vibram rubbers with their specialities and weaknesses?
That's actually coming soon...
Hey Matt, the storry with the holes is not true, i'm using mine always until there is a hole (about 1cm x 1cm). I'm from germany, bavaria and we've got some specialist here which will resole the shoes also in this condition. the outcome is unbelivable good you'll always find glue at the top of your shoe because there is also rubber on it and yes they are also renewing this as well (e.g. my pair of OCUNE Oxi S there is really much rubber on the top). They are offering a wide range of soles Vibram and other as well. Price is quite low and waiting time is up to 8 weeks but its worth it.
Hast du eine Adresse und einen Namen? Besten Dank im voraus!
Ich wirklich Restday oder Saltic empfehlen, mit den meisten deutschen Schuhmachern hatte ich nur medium gute Erfahrungen. Ich kann die Schuhe bei uns in der Halle abgeben und die schicken sie dann zu denen. Früher haben wir gesammelt und immer 10 Paar auf einmal geschickt. Einziger Nachteil ist, dass es meist einige Wochen dauert. Das Ergebnis ist aber wirklich sehr gut.
@@stubenification Ich lass das über Eldorado Bergsport in Nürnberg machen tel:0911-18073670 website: www.eldorado-bergsport.de/
What materials should I buy
What price point are we talking about ?
Question: does the rubber maintain it's shape after resoling in terms of it molding to your foot?
Depends on the craftsmanship of the resoler and the type of rubber they use. Find a good workshop and your shoes should feel good as new
The toebox can feel different after a resole, at least for the resoles ive gotten ive had to wear them in again
if you replace the rubber its not gonna feel like rubber that has molded to your foot. its just simply impossible. its gonna take shape eventually again
Is it worth it for cheap climbing shoes? How much is it?
This is great , Matt how much did you pay ? And do you know of any in the UK which do climbing shoes ?
Stephen Whitington click the link in the description
I use Cheshire Shoe Repairs. Range of rubbers and they do a great job with a quick turnaround. www.cheshireshoe.co.uk/
In Austria our Cimbing Gym have an Repair Service like this. It costs 40€
Jack Sends , I did and it took me to a lot of high street shoe repairs that don’t do climbing shoes
How much would this cost?
Use superglue to fix delaminated edges and superglue+rubberdust for filling holes. This can give shoes many years of medium to low use.
I´m now climbing for 1 1/2 year. I just wrecked my 4th pair of shoeas today. 2 pairs of mythos which I´m gonna give away for repair. I really like the Mythos.
They are a great pair of shoes. Bought them to have a comfy pair and ended up climbing the majority of routes in them.
Does anyone have the number to rock n resole?
Should all do this far more regularly
Hey...but, how to contact with Eduardo? Thanks
but how much cheaper is it than getting new shoes
I wish it made financial sense at my climbing level to do this but it costs less for me to get closeout shoes on ebay new than it would cost to resole my old ones. 😔
To share, another easy way to extend the life of shoes is to cycle them. One day off is not enough for the rand to regain original tension, and on back to back days the climbing rubber has yet to rebound between sessions.
Thus, I cycle shoes on a two or three day on one day off circuit, never using the same shoe on back to back days, and have found my shoes have regained a substantial amount of tension and any divots depressions in the rubber have all but vanished. This is especially useful for my project shoes which see one or two routes or problems every few days but stay familiar to my foot for outdoor treks, and I do not use busted shoes for training.
Expensive in the beginning, but since I started cycling shoes I get about 50% more life out of them and better performance every time.
What do you mean by 'getting more life out of them'? Do you usually throw out shoes because they don't perform anymore rather than due to a worn out sole?
Tobias Grätzer I am referring to the tensioning system holding through multiple resoles as well as the rubber itself lasting longer, thus needing to be resoled less often.
its amazing, you had a downturn climbing shoe and now you have a neutral shoe xD
Hmm tahts tru
I think one of my indoor pair has been resoled 8 times now, time for it again. Will they last 10?
Hampus means you are timely and have a great resoler. As long as the tensioning system is still to your liking, keep on.
who resoles them? Which country, location? I think it's great to use old things and repair them rather than just keep getting new stuff!
@@annaa5287 I happen to live close to a resoler in Gothenburg, Sweden. We have two of them here that does climbing shoes, I'm using the one at Mariaplan.
Anna A if you’re in the United States, my immediate suggestion is Rock and Resole (unless you use Evolv then Yosemite Bum). I have a pair of solutions where the tension system around the heel has split twice and the whole mesh sock is destroyed but the front pad looks amazing after six resoles. Plus, they’re as fast and inexpensive as anyone I have found.
I’ve resoled my vapour v shoes, but they don’t feel as supple and sensitive as they were before, even with wearing. They’re now much stiffer and downturned (which the shoes are not designed to be) and now scrunch my toes up to make them very painful. Is this just me?
Bella Ridgwell depends on the quality of the resoler and whether or not you needed a toe cap which will warp the shoe slightly. Too, many synthetic uppers will dry and contract during the wait period, but just have a session break in. As well, if you climbed in them frequently then the tension system never had a long period to rebound and thus felt softer than they should have been.
Vapor Vs are usually quite downturned no?
DonalG45 vapor vs are downturned and stiff but Bella noted being much more
Anybody know how much this roughly costs? :)
A skin re-growth video would be nice, after having slipped of that new yellow slab.
Can anyone Identify the background music? Music for 18 musicians by Steve reich?
Hello beautiful video on an overlooked topic.
I have the same shoes. Can you tell me how long did you climb in them before having to resole them? Thx
3months and 22 days 🤣
After resole, all my climbing shoes stretched and take 1 more shoes size :(
You need to find a new resoler! Or take them back and tell them they did a bad job
I get my shoes resoled by Feet First in Chesterfield. Tbh I think they do a better job of putting the soles on that Scarpa
My shoes are usually stinking like death by the time I wear holes in them, don't think any cobbler would dare go near!
Guarantee they're Evolv
Shoe Bananas, they really work.
Wash them
Does anybody know where in Europe I can learn this craft? I'm seriously thinking of such a business. There's a huge demand for repairing climbing shoes in my country. Seriously, if somebody knows, please tell me.
My VSRs will definitely be treated better then my last two pairs of shoes😅
When the time comes they’ll get a timely resole 😁
Why you not get hole in toes still tho? Also resoling now generally costs as much as a new shoe
Carl it’s good for the environment and you get the benefit of the shoes being broken in already 🤷🏼♀️
This looks so easy to do, I have all the equipment except those molds
1:05 min: Not every company does it, but you can definitively make your shoes resoled if they have a hole.
True, mine usually get a hole at the tip where the big toe is and my local cobbler has been able to repair them each time. If the hole is too big they fill it with some hard red rubbery material before gluing new rubber over it.
If you have a hole in the rand you need to repair it with a new piece of rubber which means the shoe will never feel quite the same anymore.
This is not true and it depends on your resoler.
Hate to break it to you buddy but that thing you keep calling a milling machine isn’t a milling machine. Someone’s done you dirty lmao
It's no clapped-out bridgeport but it'll do.
@@ReaperUnreal Ave reference? On a climbing channel? Nice!
@@pamason9191 Didn't know ave fans were also climbers, fuck there is more of me than i expected :D
@@ReaperUnreal bumblefuckery is afoot
when you have a TH-cam channel. you words create truth
In Russia we resole every pair even with big holes )
The feeling of the shoe might differ after resoling.
my Scarpa Vapors got significantly stiffer after I got them resoled, but I didn’t mind and got used to it quickly. I assume it depends on the rubber used for the resole, as I didn’t get the softest one they had.
It depends on the craftmanship of the resoler. The guy I send all my shoes to is a genius and my shoes come back with the same fit, and at times better crafted than when I first get them. You can check him out on his instagram @sweet.black22
First :)
Wow, what do i do now, with the rest of my life?
Get one?
@@MF-CLIMB oooft
@@MF-CLIMB lol :D
Go climbing.
the intro sounds like the porn hub one
4 or 5 mm?
it lose the curvature compared when it was new, that the only bad think
not if the resoler uses aggressive down turned lasts before gluing and pressing the sole piece, otherwise, yes.
Be honest you just didn’t want to wait for the resoles to come back huh? 😂
Interesting. I always tell myself to resole my shoes but they always end up beyond repair (rubber on top of shoe also coming off, etc.).
Bart Thierens for e yourself to do it earlier.
I never have an issue with the bottom part, the sole. Mine always break, get holes just above the line above the sole :/
Toepatches can be resoled too. The guy who does it in my hometown does the toepatch by default.
Maxime Banel by default caps? I would find someone else as while a ton of folks wait too long this should not be assumed to be necessary and limits the life of the shoe.
This is why not waiting is important because a good resoler with the climber sending them in on time can do several resoles without altering the shape of the shoe, but a toe cap will.
@@Cacovangor You're probably right (I've never gone past one resole), but the option is still there for those who blow through the top rubber before the sole.
Strange looking milling machine that
looks quite easy, but anyway I know only one company which do it well 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Resoling sure. Before that: proper foot technique to not trash your shoes.
any good cobbler will do it i had my one resoled for 5 Euros in Poland including non fancy rubber that does the job.
then why does my shoe take 4 months
I sure hope Eduardo doesn't have a proper functioning nose.
That's the first thing that came into my mind
Exactly 😅
I get self conscious every time I drop my sweaty shoes off at the store to get them resoled, they insist it’s fine though 😄
I wash my shoes before sending them in as a courtesy
dont have to wash them just make sure they are dry.
Not even said thank you to Ronaldo! Is this the American way?
Dis click bait. But I enoyedz itz
So, extending the life of our shoes by re-soling them? No shit!
Do brits call something else a milling machine? Cause that ain't one to my knowledge.
No we dont call those milling machines, the commentator is just wrong.
What a load of old cobbler's
That man must have nostrils of steel or he just holds his breath for the whole process
All these comments about smelly shoes...
Just wear socks ya dummies. That’s what I do and I flash V3’s all the time!
Absolutely not.
This video is Bullshit. Click bait.
Should be called "How to pay someone to sole your shoes"
You did not mention a technique of extending shoe life.
Shame.
