I sent my Asolo 520 hiking boots that had a delaminated sole to Rocky Mountain Resole for repair in Jan 2024. The upper leather was in great shape. RMR put on a new Vibram Bifida sole. They did a great job and I am happy that I can get a few more years out of the boots. The cost was very reasonable. However, it did take a long time. RMR must be very busy resoling boots. Many of today's hiking boots have polyurethane midsoles which disintegrate by hydrolysis. RMR was very responsive to my text messages asking about status. I will definitely use them again. If you are in a hurry, it may be better to buy a spare pair of boots while you have the old pair repaired.
I highly recommend these folks. They do very good work and provide excellent service. Nice resole of a pair of leather three pin ski boots with Vibram soles. They were communicative and went out of their way to find soles for my boots during all the COVID shortages a few years back. I’ll be taking my winter boots and ice climbing boots there after this season and I’ll hit them up when I need my AT boots done.
I quickly learned that my disintegrating soles on my Asolo boots is a very known thing that Asolo doesn't want to help you with. So I searched around the country for folks who do sole repair. I found local folks who didn't want to do it, and I found one or two places across the country that are very well known for replacing these soles. Among those was Tim, who owns & Runs Rocky Mountain Resole. He personally answered my questions, and assured me I'd be pleased with the job. He wasn't wrong. I'm very happy to have my Asolos back (see attached before & after pics). The process takes a little time, because they're doing things right, and as a result, they're a little busy. But with a little patience, you'll get your favorite boots back in like-new condition. And this is money well spent. With this repair, I didn't have to go out and spend two to four times as much on new boots. If you send them a note, tell them I sent you.
