    Hi all,

    I plan on being in Kalymnos for about 2 months in april. I have been traveling for the last 6 months and climbing and my La Sportiva Miuras are starting to show signs of wear and are down to the rand on one shoe.

    Are there any reputable places that can resole these on the island or am I stuck paying a high price for new shoes?

    To buy a new one it is possible … but not resoling i think!

    As Bruno said – there is no resoling place on the island.

    Hi there,

    Last time I bought some Muiras on Kaly, the price was no more expensive than in the UK.

    damn… looks like I’ll have to be super precise with my footwork haha. How much are the miuras running for on the island?

    Hello. In “Wild Sport” shop the price of MIURA VS is 119 euros, and of MIURA LACE it is 110 euros.

    Kalymnos resole is open now.

    It’s just a small operation via the Yannis and Themis super market in Masouri using Vibram grip rubber for soles and rands.

    Contact also via FB.

    I gave my shoes to Mike, but he didn’t do what I wanted. And my shoes broke after two days of climbing(((( he try to fix your shoes just before your leaving the island because in that case you can’t complain(( So, just buy new shoes!

    Tutta – You have email. Very keen to know what has happened to your shoes, and what I didn’t do….

    I’d also like to refund your money.

    Kalymnos Resoles began working in July. Always with something new there will be teething problems, the odd unhappy customer and a little jealousy if there’s even a hint of success.

    At the start, with customers permission, we tried a ‘fast’ glue. This was not great and 3 pairs were returned and fixed, free of charge of course.

    They rightly came to me first rather than posting on a public forum.

    Since then we have continued to improve the service, develop techniques and try to provide the best service possible for climbers visiting the island for only one or two weeks. As such we have a limited time to resole the shoes and get them back to their owner.

    This is obvious, and not a ploy to avoid negative feedback!

    Any feedback is very welcome, in fact necessary to work out what works and what doesn’t.

    Always we stress that the glue needs settling time and to ‘rest’ for at least 24 hours, and always, with every single customer, we ask them to return if there are any problems at all. Nobody has paid full price either during these early days, every resole is discounted while we develop the business.

    On a positive note, most of the feedback we have received has been good as the facebook page can show, and as with any craft like resoling, we will continue to strive for improvement in our skills and the tools we use wherever possible.

    It has been an absolute pleasure meeting so many climbers from around the world and being able to breath new life into old and near dead shoes. Nothing makes me happier than to hear someone say that their shoes worked well and feel good. Indeed, that’s all I want.

    One other pleasing side affect – several climbers have either hired shoes, or bought new ones from ‘Wild Sports’ or ‘KAC’ while their shoes have been in for a resole. I had hoped this would happen and I’m very pleased that so many climbers have spent cash in the local climbing stores.

    Finally, a big thank you to all those who have entrusted us with their old, smelly, broken shoes.

    Happy climbing everyone.

    Got Mike to re sole my favourite Acopa’s, they now look and feel like they are brand new and are the best resole I have had on any of my shoes including the ones done in the UK, so Tutta did you give the glue time to set as advised or did you hit the crag asap and the glue failed in the heat?

    Went to Mike at Kalymnos Resole with my Scarpa Vapours to be resoled. Fantastic workmanship, fantastic service and at a fantastic price and they feel great and I have no problems!

    Went to Poets today. Carl says “nasty grey slabs with tiny footholds” but my resoled Muiras were fab and didn’t let me down once. Great job, Mike.

    I have just returned from the month of November in Kalymnos. The weather was just too perfect. I wore out my Scarpa Feroces (which had already endured a previous month on Kalymnos) and my partner later wore through her Mad Rock Flashes. We had both pairs of shoes resoled at Mike’s Kaly Resole located at “Your Market” next to the upper water spring. I have been climbing for 48 years and have worn out a closet full of shoes. Many have been resoled but none were done as well as the shoes I had Mike do. He had the shoes back to us in three days. I was advised by Mike to give the shoes a few days to cure which we did. I had a second pair but my partner had to rent shoes at the climbing center (5 Euros/day). The new sole was bevelled perfectly. The fit was the same, not stretched as I have experienced in the past. And, so far, there has been no sign of delamination on either pair of shoes. The price was right too. The limestone on Kalymnos can be very sharp and abrasive. My advice to anyone visiting for longer than a couple weeks is to bring a second pair of shoes to use while Mike resoles the first pair. Thanks, Mike
