Andes Resoling

Introduction

Nestled in the Andes mountains of Venezuela . . .

I learned to repair shoes from my parents when I was growing up far away from here in the lush Andes mountains of Venezuela. In the eastern part of this beautiful country nestled in the mountains is an old-fashioned town named Merida. My parents are professional shoemakers with more than 35 years of experience in the shoe business. I thank them for their tremendous efforts that allowed them to support all 8 of my brothers and sisters. It was through helping my parents in the town of Merida, in the heart of the Andes that I learned how to repair shoes. It was in this special place that I fell in love with the mountains and became a professional mountain guide. I have been climbing for over 25 years and I know the value of a good pair of climbing shoes.

My customers know that I painstakingly hand-repair all my shoes. My work is precise, and the Stealth C4 rubber I use is long lasting and sticky. You will have the best of both worlds – soles that last longer than before and the comfortable fit of your shoe. I pride myself on repairing shoes so that they are BETTER THAN NEW!

I have satisfied several hundred customers in the Greater Toronto Area. I invite you to be the next!
