When to Resole

Knowing when to resole is important to save your shoes and your money. If you are late, you will need to order a rand repair too.

Too Early

Too Early

There's still thickness in the sole rubber on these shoes. If there's no serious wear to the sole or the rand rubber, keep on climbing!

Resole Time

Pay attention to the dipping in the sole line, especially by the big toe! The sole rubber is thinning. Catching this before the rand rubber starts to wear is key - if the rand has worn very thin, you may also need a rand repair service.

Rand Repairs needed

You've put off resoling for as long as possible and the rand rubber has become damaged. It may be very thin, or have a hole in it exposing a layer of inner material.

It's too late

If you can see your toe through the shoe, it's too late. A hole that breaches the rand rubber and the inner material will compromise the structure of the shoe, even with a rand repair. It's no longer worth it to repair.

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

Catching wear early ensures your shoes last longer and perform better.
