Climbing Shoe Cobbling

Climbing Cobbler Swoosh
From performance climbing shoes to beat-up approach kicks (and even the odd pair of Crocs), we repair them all with the same care and attention to detail. This section covers the full range — whether you’re sending your shoes for a precision resole, keeping your approach pair trail-ready, or giving your comfy camp footwear a new lease of life, we’ll help you get the most out of every step on and off the rock.

CLIMBING Shoes

Climbing shoes are where it all began for us — and they’re still our passion. Whether your trusty pair needs a resole, a patch-up, or just a little TLC, we treat every shoe with the precision and care it deserves. From soft bouldering slippers to stiff edging machines, we’ll get them back on the wall feeling sharp, secure, and ready for more sends.

Are your climbing shoes looking less “pro-climber” and more “sad, floppy messes” Don’t panic – and for the love of all that is holy, don’t throw them out! Bring those rubber-deprived kicks to The Climbing Cobbler in Ivybridge, where we perform minor miracles on footwear.

We’re the South West’s premier climbing shoe surgeons, and we’ve got a selection of rubber so good, your shoes will forget they ever hit rock bottom.

Wide range of climbing shoe rubber

Wide range of Rubber

If your shoe’s rand is looking less “supportive” and more “tragically gone,” we can replace that too (along with the sole, because they’re a package deal).

  • Vibram XS Grip: The all-around MVP. It’s good on everything, for everyone.
  • Vibram XS Grip 2: For when you need to stick to an overhang like a gecko with a vendetta.
  • Vibram XS Edge: So precise, it can probably help you with your taxes. Perfect for those tiny, soul-crushing footholds.
  • Vibram XS Flash: The ninja of indoor rubber. It grips like a beast but leaves zero trace.
  • Davos Eco Stick: Because even your shoes can help save the planet. Made from recycled rubber, so you can climb with a clear conscience.
  • Unparallel RS: The softie of the group. If you value feeling the wall over a stiff edge, this is your new best friend.
  • Unparallel RH: A little firmer than its sibling. For when you need that tiny foothold to feel a little more… permanent.

Your approach shoes take a beating – scrambling over rock, trudging through mud, and carrying you to the crag and back again. When they start showing signs of wear, we can bring them back to life with expert repairs and resoles built for adventure. Keep them comfortable, grippy, and trail-ready for many more missions to come.

We provide resoles, patching, and waterproofing so they’re always ready for the next trek.

Whether you’ve worn through the tread or split a strap on your favourite pair, we can help keep them going strong – because comfort and style shouldn’t have to retire at the same time.
