(for info on the resoling of walking shoes with Vibram tread rubber visit; www.walkalongexpertrepairs.com.au)

*I discourage resoling just one shoe as in nearly all cases the other is just a little off from needing a resole (it's $50 if you insist!). Send both shoes so I can assess the condition of the so called 'ok' one.

**Please note that I can't do, 'just toecaps', they have to be done with a resole.

Climbing shoe stretching is $15 for 1 shoe or $25 a pair. The shoes must be in reasonable condition as the stretching is quite a severe process and it puts a lot of strain on the shoes. I can get approx. half a size out of them, sometimes more, depending on the type of shoe.

Return post is $10 for 1 pair, $14 for 2 pair, $18 for 3 plus pair

Approach shoes for 1 pair - $14

## If you definitely 'DON'T WANT TOECAPS' you must let me know as I will do them if I think it is necessary. **(If the toes wear out soon after resoling, I take no responsibility!)

## Please don't put deodorizer powder into the shoes before you send them. The last thing I need in my workroom is DUST - it plays havoc with the gluing. After 25 years of resoling, my nose is quite accustomed to the smell of rancid climbing shoes. (well, almost!!)

##Please DON'T take out the laces before you send your shoes to me. It makes resoling more difficult!
Undo any knots in the end of the laces (Miuras excepted) or I will cut them off if necessary.

Rewiring cams : 1 trigger wire/cam - $15, 2 trigger wires/cam - $20
(I can't repair BD C3 cams)
I do not resling cams. (For reslinging go to; www.aspiring.co.nz/custom-slings.aspx).

l have been resoling shoes since 1987 and to maintain the quality of the resoles, I do all the work myself. This means there are times when I am away on a break and the resoling work stops. Please check Facebook to see when I am planning on being away. The shop will still be open when I am away, manned by Wayne or Alisha so you can still send your shoes to the shop and they will be booked in by the guys and then done, when I return, in the order they are received at the shop.

Thanks . . . . Phil Wilkins
