Resole or buy new? The maths

|---|---|---|---|
| Resole + heat-sealing | €45-70 | 300-500 extra km | €0.11 - 0.23 /km |
| New premium trainers | €180 | 600-1000 km | €0.18 - 0.30 /km |
| New mid-range trainers | €80-110 | 400-700 km | €0.15 - 0.28 /km |

Resoling only works out cheaper per km if the midsole is sound. We confirm that before charging you.

Preguntas frecuentes
What exactly is heat-sealing?+
It's a heat seal of the outsole-to-midsole join, done with a press and controlled temperature. It restores the mechanical integrity lost when the factory adhesive fails, far stronger than household gluing.
My shoe's midsole is broken on the inside — can it be fixed?+
If it's only the outsole-midsole join, yes. If the foam (EVA or PEBA) is compressed or cracked inside, no — that's the model's lifespan. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we'll tell you.
Which Vibram compound do you use to resole trail shoes?+
Zegama or Megalux for versatile use, Lite Base when you want minimum weight, and an Andes outsole as a tough, value alternative. We choose with you based on terrain and wear.
How much does a trail shoe resole cost?+
From €45 with Zegama or Megalux, from €55 in Lite Base and from €45 with an Andes outsole. Fixed quote on WhatsApp after seeing a photo, no obligation.
Do you resole any trail brand (Salomon, Hoka, La Sportiva)?+
Yes. Salomon, Hoka, La Sportiva, Saucony, Scarpa, Brooks — any brand with a bonded outsole-midsole join (which is almost all of them) benefits from heat-sealing.
