I've only had one resole from them so far but I'm sold on the rubber and the workmanship is excellent. Ditto what most are saying about them being exceptionally easy to deal with. convinced me...just bought a pair of Evolv slippers. All my resoles will be going to them in the future.

They've resoled 4 pairs of my shoes and all have been mediocre. I haven't bothered trying to get warranty "re-resoles" but probably ought to have done that. I won't be sending them any more shoes.

I place these more often than any other small nuts in the Gunks, not as much in other areas.

Comfy but still performs well. I sized it with a little bit of toe curl and like the profile...somewhat pointed towards the big toe. I use these as semi-comfy shoes. No real problems with the rubber (climbing mostly in the gunks) but I might not like it so much on pure slab.

My favorites! I have wide feet and these shoes seem narrow, but somehow their pointed shape squeezes my toes just right and works. The rubber is (of course) spectacular. I'm on my second pair and maybe I just need to break them in a bit more but I'm noticing more achilles pressure (causing a bit of tendonitis) with this pair. Ditto veganboyjosh on the somewhat chafing heel tab sewing...seems like a small thing to fix.
