SAS SHOE REPAIR FAQ
Can you replace my worn soles with original SAS soles?A: We cannot replace your worn soles with original SAS soles. We remove the bottom 1/4" of the original sole, repair the overworn places (usually in the heeel area) and then apply the new, longer wearing Vibram soles. Please note that if your original soles are crumbling apart or if major pieces are missing, we cannot resole your shoes.
How worn can the soles be for the resoling process to still be successful?A: We have re-soled many SAS shoes, it is only rarely that we cannot do them. People even say their repaired shoes are more comfortable than before, probably because the re-soling process brings the heels and soles back to an even level, much like new shoes.
Q: How much new life does the new Vibram sole add? A: The new soles are not the hard type of Vibram soles that many people are familiar with. They are liteweight, a little soft and cushioned, but very durable. You'll probably get the same or more wear out of them that you got out of your first soles.
Q: Does the adhesive ever separate during wet, snowy weather? A: We resole many shoes, locally, and over the internet. Here in western Oregon, we get alot of rain (50+ inches per year), especially during the wet season. If our adhesives didn't work in wet weather, we wouldn't be in business.
Q: What kind of soles can you put on my SAS shoes? A: Most people prefer one of three options: the Vibram 1030, the Vibram 1328, or the Soletech sole. They are pictured at the top of this page.
Vibram 1030 --- A lighter lug sole, excellent traction, a long wearing sole.
Vibram 1328 --- Lighter, with a finer pattern than the 1030. We have put this sole on for people who live in cold and icy climates and they love it. Soletech --- Not Vibram, but a great sole. A smooth profile, non-lug style sole. Thin and lightweight, but very durable.
Q: Do you ship internationally?A: Sorry, we only ship within the USA.
Q: How do I start this process? A: Print and complete our shipping form . Take your shoes

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
I got back my SAS ‘Bout time shoes and am amazed with the quality workmanship and quality soles you put on them. I am sending you a pair of SAS Time Outs for soles and am excited to get them back. The soles you put on the ‘Bout Times give me better traction then the original soles and with the snow and ice we are presently enduring I am thankful for the better traction. Many thanks." Mark Murphy
