Your repair order
Attention. Before handing in your climbing shoes, check that they can still be resoled and that the brand and model are suitable for resoling. Not sure? Check out our Resoling Guide or ask us directly.
On their lasts, get set, go!
We repair climbing shoes out of passion and a belief in sustainability. We are therefore very pleased about the increasing demand for resoling in Berlin. As a small family business, however, we have limited capacity. For us, this currently means:
3 months waiting time!
Waiting times are estimates based on the current turnaround. Repairs are not a standard process and cannot be calculated exactly in terms of time without compromising quality. If there is a foreseeable delay, we will contact you and will be happy to find a solution if the replacement pair has already been used up. Our tip: Contact us in good time and get at least two pairs that you like to use in order to make resoling a practical, sustainable habit for you.
Through your patience you support the expansion of our capacities and motivate us to continue working on a fast local and high-quality resoling for Berlin.
Would you like to find out more about us and our passion? You can get to know us here. Feel free to contact us with your questions!

Resoling Guide
Scarpa & La Sportiva design climbing shoes that are intended for resoling and supply authorized resolers with original spare parts. This speaks for the quality and sustainability of their products. Our focus is therefore on repairing these two brands. With a few exceptions:
We resole climbing shoes from Scarpa, La Sportiva, Ocun and Tenaya without any restrictions.
For all other brands, the differences between the models are huge. We have seen many shoes in our workshop and have been able to get an idea of (non)sustainable climbing shoe design. Just write to us so we can give you an assessment. We are happy to share our knowledge with you and help you make a sustainable choice when buying!
resoling without edge repair
ideal time
The rubber edge is still intact, the sole has already worn down to below the edge. You may already notice that the tip has become rounded and you feel less secure.
If the edge rubber has not yet thinned out, replacing the sole is sufficient at this point.
The structure of the climbing shoe is protected and resoling is possible for a few times.
The result after resoling resembles the condition of a new shoe, especially the first time.
resoling with edge repair
high time
The edge rubber already has holes at the tip or the next layer is visible under the sole.
Holes in the edge can occur when the area hits the wall - but most of the time the edge rubber is damaged because you continue climbing with a sole that has already been worn down and rounded off and are therefore climbing on the edge rubber. Since this is very thin, holes appear relatively quickly here.
Resoling is possible at this point by using an additional thin layer of rubber, a toe cap. It hardly restricts the climbing experience and provides additional protection for the tip.
We only use toe caps when they are necessary. This can also be the case if the tip looks intact at first glance, but the rubber is already so thin that it would give way after a few sessions.
Since the toe caps have to be glued under the sole, the sole must always be replaced when the edge is repaired.
no more resoling possible
time for new climbing shoes
If climbing shoes continue to be used despite damaged rubber, holes will appear in the material underneath. It can also happen that the leather and seams have already been worn down by moisture and wear from the inside - if the edge rubber is missing at this point, the hole suddenly becomes visible.
The leather or fabric underneath the rubber forms the basic structure of the shoe and must be intact to ensure the performance of the climbing shoe. If material is already missing, meaning we cannot restore the structure with a seam, we are no longer able to resole.
Even if the P3 system of La Sportiva models has torn at the heel, we no longer offer resoling. Since the downturn can no longer be restored, this is unfortunately no longer practicable at that point.

We are back! As many of you reached out to us these weeks, we are accepting new orders again. Plan some time: we have waiting times of up to 3 months right now…but we have some changes planned to accelerate the process soon! Including purchasing new machines and applying to become an official resoler of Scarpa, we decided to speziale our service more on the climbing shoes which are actually designed for resoling. We saw a looot of shoes at our workshop and could make ourselves an idea on sustainable designing of climbing shoes. There are some brands standing out, for the others please reach out to us to give you an assessment. We are happy to share our knowledge with you and help to make a sustainable choice when buying climbing shoes! See you (or your shoes) soon! 🔨Button -

Einige Modelle haben eine durchgehende lange Sohle. Bild 1: Auch für diese verwenden wir Originalteile von La Sportiva und die passenden Leisten (neutral oder downturned). Bild 2: Bei Modellen anderer Marken nehmen wir eine Halbsohlenreparatur vor und erneuern nur den vorderen abgenutzten Teil. Die Randgummi-Reparatur ist auch hier immer nur in Verbindung einer Neubesohlung möglich. Natürlich können wir auch weitere Reparaturen wie Klettverschluss- oder Schnürsenkelwechsel oder Klebearbeiten oberhalb des Schuhs durchführen.Button -

Als official resoler von La Sportiva nutzen wir die von der Marke bereitgestellten Originalteile und empfohlene Methode zur Reparatur. Damit kannst du nach der Reparatur mit einem Schuh rechnen, der sich fast wieder wie ein neuer klettert.Button -

Was bedeutet eigentlich Neubesohlung? Je nach Modell gibt es verschiedene Reparaturmöglichkeiten. Bild 1: Bei La Sportiva tauschen wir das ganze Sohlenstück aus, hierfür verwenden wir Originalteile (1). Oft muss zusätzlich noch das Randgummi erneuert werden (2). Auch das Gummi für Toe-hooks können wir austauschen (3). Bild 2: Auch bei allen anderen Modellen reparieren wir nah am Original mit individuell zugeschnittenen Sohlenstücke, je nach Wahl aus XS Edge oder Vibram XS 2 (3). Die Randgummireparatur (2) kann übrigens immer nur in Verbindung mit der Neubesohlung durchgeführt werden und ist immer dann notwendig, wenn ein Loch im Gummi ist, aber auch schon, wenn dieses bereits sehr dünn ist. (Reparatur (1) führen wir nicht mehr durch, da wir möglichst nah an den Eigenschaften des Originals bleiben möchten und die Materialeinsparung nicht besonders groß ist)Button -

Du hast kaputte Schuhe und fragst dich, ob sich eine Reparatur lohnt? Sicherlich ist die Ersparnis vor allem bei teureren Modellen merklich. Doch auch bei einem Einstiegermodell wie dem Tarantula kann die Neubesohlung interessant für dich sein. Zum einen unter Nachhaltigkeitsaspekten, zum anderen: Das Sohlenmaterial (XS Grip 2 und Edge), das wir verwenden, ist sehr hochwertig und kann deinem Schuh ein richtiges Upgrade verschaffen. Wenn du also mit deinem Schuh zufrieden bist, Ressourcen schonen und ihm gerne noch einen zweiten Zyklus verschaffen willst, ist die Kletterschuhreparatur das richtige für dich - du entscheidest! #resoling #climbingshoes #lasportivaButton -

Kletterschuhreparatur in Berlin! Versand nach ganz Deutschland. resolingrocks.comButton
Resoling Rocks has been around since 2019 and is, believe it or not, the first workshop specializing in climbing shoe repair in Berlin. Why do we exist? Because resoling climbing shoes makes sense and we want to make it an attractive option for all climbing enthusiasts.
The team
Resoling Rocks was born out of a belief in sustainability and a love of climbing.
We are a local family-run workshop: your shoes are repaired directly in Neukölln by Bryan, the resoler. Miriam takes care of all the organizational aspects and runs the shop. If you have ever visited us, you have met her and maybe also our two children.
The craft
In order to offer resoling to a high standard, you need a lot of experience and endurance in addition to manual skills and creativity. Behind the willingness to face adhesive fumes, loud noise and physical strain on a daily basis lies the conviction of the importance of resoling for our sport.
At the moment, Bryan is doing the resoling on his own: there are hardly any shoemakers and getting used to resoling is a lengthy process.
However, we would be happy if our team grew and are therefore always open to applications, even from people with other manual skills who share the same passion as us.
