These guys are awesome! Got my shoes back very fast and they look brand new

I sent my Geshido in for work a couple of weeks ago. Turn around was 2 weeks long which was about as long as I expected it to be. $ 45 for Midsole and Rand repair, which is the cheaper than most resoles.
I sent in my shoes inside their box within another box, as I like to keep my shoes inside their boxes. I did not receive notice of them receiving my shoes despite the tracking confirming they had been delivered. A week passed and no notice, so I emailed them to ask if they got them and they replied that they had them.
A week later, I got them back in the mail. Not a box, nor a padded envelope, but a paper thin usps envelope with my shoes inside. It bothered me that they charged me $ 10 for shipping and they couldn’t even use a box.
Upon inspection, the shoes were immaculate! The worksmanship was amazing! The soles themselves looked like new and the shoes themselves had been washed and looked like new (except for the scuffs and scratches).
I wore the shoes this past week at the gym and the fit is just as good as before I sent them in. The performance is as good as when they were new.
Would I recommend them? Hell yeah.
Was it a perfect experience? No.
These guys still have work to do with customer service. A notice of them receiving the shoes would be nice. A box to protect my shoes during transit would be good, but returning them just as I sent them, with their original box would be even better.
I wish I could give them 5 stars based on their work alone, but communication and shipping is also important in running this kind of business and they lacked in both of those areas.

Very highly recommend for resoling and for new purchases from their outlet products. The staff deserves the highest rating — so friendly and helpful — Catrina is awesome!!! The resoling is a great option for an affordable fix on shoes you love!
We will do all of our shopping for climbing gear here now that we’ve found it!

I have sent them my climbing shoes since 2007. Always done to the point of feeling like new, longest turnaround ever was 2 weeks (which they alerted me of prior to my sending). Consistent, quality resoling that has exceeded local resolers’ attempts in Seattle.

I sent in my climbing shoes to get resoled, they came back very stretched out. I’ve sent in climbing shoes to get resoled at different businesses and they have never come back stretched out.

WOW that was quick. Sent my shoes to them last Wednesday and they arrived back with me on Monday morning. Fantastic. the workmanship looks top class, rubber is super sticky. Can’t recommend these guys more!

My experiences with them had been nothing but pleasantry.
There’s two parts here, one is their resole business, the other is the Evolve retail outlet. They are at the same location.
Professional, helpful, and great price.
I got my shoes resoled at many place, and by far this is the best. Yes, it helps that I only use Evolve shoes for my narrow feet, but they do such a excellent job on it, that each time the shoes look brand new. Turn around via mail is fast, I got mine back one time after 6 days!
Also, I was able to drop off a pair of shoes during my business trip down in Socal recently, when they found out I was in the town for only a few days, they offered expedited service for… free! I was able to pick up my shoes two days later, saved me some shipping.
While I was down here, I scored some high-​end shoes at such discounted price, it made my day.
They have a lot of samples, and seconds on sale here, and always for a great price. 50−70% off.

I just received back my resoled La Sportiva Miuras and Ventors. This makes four pairs of shoes I’ve had resoled/​re-​randed by YB, and I continue to be impressed by their turnaround time and workmanship. Plus, I certainly appreciate that they are willing to work/​resole shoes other than Evolve’s. So now when I’m asked for a resole referral at my home gym in SF (Mission Cliffs) it’s a toss-​up between YB and the Rubber Room in Bishop, with YB having the faster turnaround time, and maybe better rubber!

Second go with these guys as good as the first…

I got an email with a discount for resoling climbing shoes. $ 10 off per show plus free shipping for two or more pairs. I mailed off three pairs and they came back within a week! Crazy fast. And they did a terrific job!

These guys are great. Whenever I called the guys there were always really nice and helpful. Two and a half weeks and $ 50 later, I had my beloved climbing shoes back with new rands and half soles. They recommend tracking your package on the way there, and I concur; it’s not worth the anxiety of not knowing where your shoes are.

I’ll do this review in 2 parts…
Part 1: My husband and I sent in our climbing shoes for rand replacement and half resoles. We had previously used another company for resoling our shoes and while they did an adequate job, when we received our shoes back this time, I actually held the shoe up and said wow! The workman ship was awesome — besides the telltale seam on the bottom of the shoe, it looked brand new and was virtually seamless. I was extremely pleased with the results and will be using them again.
Part 2: One of my shoes was returned with a dime sized hole on the top that went through both the synthetic outer layer and the inner liner. I was pretty angry and couldn’t believe that they would return a shoe in this condition. (The hole was definitely not there when I sent the shoe in — I had already resoled them once and wouldn’t have bothered to do it again if this hole was there to start with.) I sent a note to their main email address and asked them to make things right. I was pleasantly surprised that an actual person answered my email and while they wouldn’t admit fault, they did apologize and agree to take the shoe back and repair the hole free of charge.
I’m still not sure how the hole got there, if it was a result of the force needed to remove the old rand or if it got caught on a clamp during the process of putting on the new rand, but their customer service and workmanship has earned them a place as my go-​to for climbing shoe resoles.
