Okay, so a local and the best climbing shoe repair person is out of business, not sure why, but it wasn't a lack of people, other factors.

We have an experienced shoe repair person that will do them, if we can provide the rubber for them. I'm looking for somewhere to get these rubbers in bulk. I have emailed both, but the emails to stealth climbing keep coming back as undeliverable, and it's the weekend, so won't hear from Frixion till monday. Any suggestions/useful contacts?

Those are resole kits...not quite what we're looking for. :)

Search their websites (Five Ten or La Sportiva or whatever) for Customer Service or Dealer Services (the latter would be better). You should be able to open up a wholesale account with either company. Contact them like you're a startup resole business. I know for a fact both companies sell large sheets of their rubber.
