To those that are interested,

I have recently had 8 pairs of shoes resoled and re-randed. Some of the shoes I sent in were in very bad shape and had gaping holes in the front and I thought they were irrecoverable. I have found the work on all the shoes to be exceptionally good and the shoes felt like new with no loss of structure. My predators even maintained a good percentage of down turn. Turnaround time was around 2weeks for the lot.

Thanks to Chris and Nigel @ Vertical world

Hi Colin

Please could you post a contact number or e mail address for Vertical World. Good re-soles are hard to find at the moment.

Have to agree with Colin. I've had three or four pairs resoled at vertical world and it's by far the best resole job I've seen in SA. They were able to do an especially good job of maintaining the edge on my old mad rocks. The vibram rubber they use is also really good stuff. Keep it up guys.

Thank you everyone for the kind words regarding our service, we appreciate it and strive to provide the best possible workmanship on all our resoles.
We are a young company but are already doing business with international climbing companies for their resoles, so I suppose we are doing something right.

Hi, anyone know how else (not via email) I can get hold of Vertical world guys.

I have sent my shoes in a week ago and had no response to emails, contact forms and PMs.
BTW according to Track and Trace my shoes are still sitting at the post office....

Did you manage to get a hold of them ?

I did, Chris and Nigel both responded to my emails on Friday.

Jury is still out - will see how the shoes look when they are returned...

Vertical World have done a good job with my shoes. Here are the before and after photos:

Nice those look Great. Glad there was a happy ending to this story. Hope to see you on the Rock soon.

Hi Keith,
Nice shots of the shoes, we are happy to provide you with a quality resole. BTW, it's good to see that you mixing some water with your wine at the crags.
Keep on rocking!
