I just got 2 pairs of shoes back today. Not only do they look and feel FABULOUS, but it's the little things that count. Also in the box was a hand-written note, stickers, 2 mints, and the best and most surprising thing -- 2 pairs of new shoelaces. Wow, that totally made my day! He also extended the rand on my old favorite pair of Huecos to cover up a small hole in the upper. It's so nice to see such attention to detail! So here's his info:
Barry's Resoles
41585 Auberry Road
Auberry, CA 93602
(559) 855-4511
I've had him do my resoles for a while now, and am a big fan. No offense meant to other resolers who post here -- just giving props where they are certainly due!

I don't know that I would be willing to eat a mint that had been boxed with MY shoes...
But I'll file his address away for when I need a minty-fresh resole.

I vote for Locker as the best and the rumor that he resoles with melted down used condoms... is..Well... unfounded... in my opinion.

I agree, Dingus, well-said!
A movie? Is that for real, randomtask?

I concur - Barry does a great job, he is the only one that I trust to resole my climbing shoes, and I live in Sweden - not around the corner so to speak...

Barry has definitely got sole!
I used him for the first time a couple of months ago and his work is awesome. I highly recommend him.

Dude, Curlie is a dudette.
And we all know that you just bought the cobbler business and we are fine with you posting up but this probably wasn't the right thread to do it in. Leave this thread for Barry.

I went up and dropped off shoes at Barry's when I lived in Fres-burg. Definitely a good guy to hang out and chat with.

Hell, I'll send anyone these for "mints & shoelaces"
Is that the new slang for mushrooms & joints?
