It is really hard to order climbing rubber singe Adidas bought 5.10. I came across a place in Italy that sells it, but outside of Europe and not B2B, it seems youll have to go through a cobbler, willing to sell it at retail to you. That's how I got a sheet, through a fantastic local cobbler who helped me out. Ask your local cobbler, Vibram probably makes half of the rubber they use.
@@davidsonsshoerepair Can you explain why, once the material under the toe cap is worn through, it is deemed 'irreparable'? I can't seem to find a straight answer, just that it cannot be done.
@@themurderofcoke do you mean the leather under the rubber cap over the toe nail, so there is a hole straight through? No I can't. Almost everything is repairable. It's just about how much it would cost, and in this case with climbing shoes, maybe also about loss of feel. I guess you don't want the shoes too thick at places where you need to have more "foot contact". I don't climb myself so I don't know. But I repaired a pair of climbing shoes the other day with big holes at the front tip of the shoe. We'll see what the customer thinks of the function after that.
Do you still do it this way? Would love to use your service, but you're not suppose to round the rubber over the toes. Can you do it more in this way? czcams.com/video/TGQDNSSLzrU/video.html
It depends on the shoes. Which model it is and how worn it is. There are no fixed rules that apply to all climbing shoes. Let me see them live and i'll tell you how it can be done.
Uh, they are entirely different shoes with different repairs needs. Also you are comparing someone who is capable of fixing climbing shoes to the company that literally makes the shoes materials, of course they have the perfect purpose built tools for the job. Not everyone has access to the Vibram Resole Cobbler, 99% of us have to make do with our local cobbler, and we will take what we can get. You take issue with how they rounded the rubber over the toes (exactly as the shoe was originally designed) but not with the fact he used Vibram XS Edge, when 5.10 uses Stealth rubber, in this case C4, a medium rated rubber, compared to a very stiff hard rubber, changing the design of the shoe, potentially dramatically, from a good cave bouldering shoe to an uncomfortable trad shoe. Awesome option if requested, but not something I would be happy to receive if I hadn't known. There is a potential issue here, but it is not the quality of the repair by any means.
That's fine craftsmanship!!!
Hi, what a great looking job. What is the rubber, primer, glue and hardener you use? Are they available to people not in the trade?
Thank you!
i wanna fix mine climbing shoes.
Couldn't see in the video but did you cut and remove to rubber for the shoe or did you just glue over top of the old worn rubber?
I remove the old material first, so it won't get thicker.
Hi dear friend
What ‘s the primer name?
I have the same shoes. But the toes area has a hold. Can you help to repair it?
Hello thanks you the video. What's the reference of your primer please?
I use Renia products.
Do you buy the Vibram rubber sheet directly from their website?
I buy the material from my cobbler supplier.

@@davidsonsshoerepairplease link? For wibram rubber?
Wow, I bet that saves a lot of money over buying new shoes. Can this operation be repeated on the same shoe?
Yes. Shouldn't be a problem.
