Rubber Room

Shoe Resoler

Since the 1970’s there has been a tradition of quality rock shoe resoles in the Eastern Sierra. First, Wheeler’s Boot Repair and later Wilson’s Eastside Sports assembled a team of master cobblers and set the standard for performance resoles. Since 1981 Tony Puppo has been part of that team, Nan joined in 1996. 27 years, 3 shops, dozens of craftsmen and women and over 80,000 pairs of shoes later, that legend continues at The Rubber Room.

    They have fast and convenient service. Ship your shoes to them, and they will ship them back to you, wherever you are! We had them shipped to us while traveling in Oregon so we could climb at Smith Rock. They were more than happy to help out.

    They do exceptional resole jobs. I love the attention to detail, my shoes come back as good as new. I do appreciate the level of service there as well. Everyone is very responsive and nice and able to accommodate many of my requests. I think it is excellent that they offer so many different types of rubber!

    This is one of the few places that I didn't find through Yelp, but it was actually recommended to me by a friend who has been a climber for almost 10 years. After giving them a try and looking up their Yelp listing, I am surprised, that it isn't bursting with 5 star ratings. -- Their store certainly bursts with shoes from trusting and satisfied customers, that keep sending in pair after pair -- despite a 3+ week wait!

    ... They look and feel great! The first two climbing sessions felt a little stiffer than I was used to, but it went back to normal in no time; just with better traction. It's like I turned back the time on my climbing shoes. Couldn't be happier!

    I was really impressed with the quality of workmanship. RR really over performed. I heard nothing but good things about this shop but I was truly wowed. The half soles were cut to perfection and you can barely see the splice.
    Thanks guys, be on the lookout for another pair or two.

    Just got the shots back and they did am amazing job. The shoes look immaculate and did a really clean job in my resoles. I had 3 pairs done mythos, quantums, and muiras. I had special requests for each pair and they came out better than new. I say that because i prefer 5.10 rubber over vibram rubber and the shoes are already broken in.

    ... I can't wait for joshua tree this weekend to try these on real rock.

    Props to rubber room for excellent quality.

    Just got my la sportiva tarantulaces fixed, one 1/2 sole and 2 rands. I dropped them off at Wilson's Eastside Sports on a Sunday and received my shoes in the mail 9 business days later, much sooner than expected. I was extremely happy with the repair. My shoes look and feel like new and it was almost $20 cheaper than buying them brand new. Thank you so much!
