Plattsburg Shoe Hospital
Shoe Resoler
As the owner of the Plattsburgh Shoe Hospital, Mark is the guy responsible for resolving your beat-up climbing shoes, many of which arrive pretty tattered. When his work is done, a shoe that most people would toss away ends up back in some- one’s pack and at the crag climbing again.
The inside of his shop is relatively unassuming—there aren’t any flashes of lightning, no crazy solutions boiling on the shelves and no Igor shuffling around. Instead, the shop looks as if it hasn’t changed since the day it opened: antique tools hang on the walls, old forgotten shoes line the racks and an antique register with handwritten notes on the keys occupies the majority of the counter space. “It’s been here as long as I’ve been around,” Mark says. “And it’s probably been here since my grandfather opened the place in 1936.” Read more

The best resoler in the country! Quality that lasts as long or longer than the original shoe rubber. Never had a delamonation issue or a change to the feel of the shoe last. Quick work as well we would not use any other resoler.

Mark has always done a great job resolving my shoes in a timely manner. Additionally, he is a great communicator, and always lets me know of any issues with my shoes or additional charges.

Of all the resole companies I've used, Mark's resoled shoes are the best quality and longest lasting. He saved a few of by beloved Acopas from the shoe grave on several occasions. There are plenty of close seconds out there, but Shoe Hospital is my favorite Resoler, hands and feet down.

They were super helpful when I emailed them to confirm the process, having never used their services before. They got back to me within a few hours, which was unexpected as it was late summer and I assumed everyone was getting their shoes resoled in preparation for the fall. They even took the time to compliment me on the sharpie art I've doodled on my shoes so they aren't so easily confused with all of the other Katanas out there.

I sent a pair of women's solutions to them and they saved them. Great work, great price and great turnaround time. It was a very easy process. Very nice people and would recommend to anyone.

Have had about 6 pairs of climbing shoes repaired and they are solid. I mail shoes here from wherever I am in the country. Thank you for the work you do.

This guy worked on my partner's climbing shoes while we were traveling on a 6 month climbing trip across the continent. We had no idea where we would be once the shoes were slated to be finished, but he worked with us, and shipped 'em where we were. The shoes were perfectly done. We knew it would take a little time to get the shoes back because he was well-known in the area; didn't realize until now (with finding an article, to which I linked below!) that his notoriety spread beyond the region. Excellent service and job well done; worth the wait to get back a favorite pair of climbing shoes that had a brand new life. ...
