Our Vision

Quality
To offer the best quality resoling, repairs, and performance tuning of climbing shoes.

To be your go-to climbing gear shop with excellent advice and customer service.

Social and Environmental Responsibility
To operate with a socially responsible business strategy, and to help preserve the wild outdoor spaces we love by offering a greener alternative to the replacement of worn climbing shoes.

Passion
To employ passionate people, and ensure that their employment fuels rather than stifles their passion.

Mike Doody
Owner, Head Resoler

He is the driving force of our mission to continually provide the best quality possible. With a Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, he left a comfy corporate nine-to-five, and started Ontario Resoles in his garage, combining craftsmanship with a technical approach to climbing shoe resoling. His engineering knowledge guides the process that produces our outstanding resoles, repairs, and performance enhancements.
