In reply to Shane.lonergan:
I’ve used feet first and Llanberis resoles numerous times. I’ve also used Cheshire shoe for approach shoes but not climbing shoes.
The best has been torquil at Llanberis resoles for quality and speed. The feet first guy knows his stuff but is so overrun that it takes weeks to get them back and I feel like the quality is a bit rushed.
As others have said, torquil takes holidays however if you just ring him he is usually more than happy to fit you in if you’re desperate. However feet first will charge an extra £20 for a priority service.
Don’t forget that the quality of the resole has a lot to do with the type of shoe you’re sending and the condition it is in. If in doubt, ring both and see which you prefer the advice you get back of.
Cheshire shoe are most knowledgeable when it comes to walking/running/approach shoes rather than climbing shoes, so it seems.
