I have a pair of Scarpa VS that I have resoled once before. When I got those new I had to break them in for about two months, it was very painful but nowthey fit perfectly. I have tried Sportiva solutions in between when I had the scarpa resoled, but I couldn’t get them to fit. I figured I would have the Scarpa VS as a back up shoe, but I ended ho wearing them as my main. I sold the solutions. The sole on the Scarpa is now about 60% done and am thinking about next steps. A new shoe sounds interesting, but resoling the Scarpa once again could be the better option. How many times do you resole your shoe?

    As long as you haven’t worn through the rubber in other places, there’s no reason not to resole again. I will say though, usually with climbing shoes, you don’t break them in, they break you in. The only shoes that really break in are like traditional leather shoes and boots. The leather on climbing shoes can stretch over time, but the actual structure of the shoe, made from the rubber, isn’t going to stretch. For the most part, it’s your feet acclimating to the squeeze
