Looking for your suggestions and experiences with the various resolers out there.

Normally I'd say Phil @ Arapiles Resoles, but all work is on hold at the moment.

I have found Scotty Dog to be pretty good. http://www.scottydog.com.au/index.php

I've only ever really used Phil, so I'm also interested in this question.

I used Big John once in the early 2000s and vaguely recall not being super happy, although I can't remember why now. Probably unfair to say that now on the internet, given how long ago it was and the lack of remembered details.

I have always gone to Big John and have always been happy with his work. In fact just sent off a pair of Moccasym's yesterday.

Pfft, why when I were a lad we reckoned we were lucky if we could get to wear an ill-fitting pair of Dunlop Volleys, and they din't need no resoles ever!...
Heh, heh, heh.

... Given the ajfclark post higher in this thread, I hope you're not in a hurry to get them back!

Any updates on resole options?

Natimuk looks to be out and Scotty Dog site is dated (are they still functioning?). Also found Climbing Resoles in Canberra.

BJR looks good.

Been using BJR for over a couple of decades plus now and never had a bad resole.

i was at Nati on the weekend , Phil is doing a small amount of resoling, but in limited numbers . might be an idea to call him or Wayne first.
