    This local New River Gorge company resoled my shoes very well. They also did it quickly and they are cheap!

    They are dependable and do great work! I also appreciate the in store pick up option.

    Have done an amazing job on resoling my climbing shoes with attention to how I wanted them resoled. Great prices for amazing quality work.

    My mythos came back in only a month or less. I was pleasantly surprised because I thought I wouldn't get them back for awhile. It was easy to fill out their form and just send my shoes. They look like new. They are an affordable price; a tiny bit cheaper than the place in jtree and bishop. We'll see how they feel when I climb but I'm confident they'll be fine. They look great!

    As of November, 2009 the friction fix was defiantly not closed because I had two shoes resoled and they did a bang up job.

    The friction fix is run by Jason and Rachel Babkirk, a pair of hard cranking rock climbers living in the New River Gorge. The easiest way to get in touch with them for a resole is via their website:

    frictionfix.com

    or by dropping shoes off at Waterstone. ...
