I'm currently climbing in a pair of relatively inexpensive evolvs, which I bought used, so I can only hope they'll last as long. Even with resoling, as a newer brand they might be made to conform to the "throw-away" mentality. I just don't know yet. Wow, that is a shoe lifespan to aspire to!

I'm wearing them for training now, but I climbed a few thousand pitches all over the world in those shoes. Good climbing shoes are expensives. Resoles are inexpensive. I can't understand why so many climbers buy the cheap shoes now available that are basically Wal-Mart throwaway shoes...use 'em, they fall apart, toss 'em. Not eco-friendly at all.

I had worked with him on occasion, but am continually amazed by the amount of people that would rather buy a new pair then get them fixed. It is definitely an awesome idea, and a bit cheaper on the pocketbook. Nice post. Summer,
