CEC Shoe Resoling Service

The CERN Climbing Club is an official drop‑off point for Aux Pieds Des Voies, a La Sportiva and Scarpa certified climbing‑shoe resoler. Club members enjoy:

  • No handling fees
  • Faster turnaround (no more waiting for months)
  • High‑quality workmanship

How It Works

  1. Clean and label your shoes (to avoid mix‑ups).
  2. Review the APDV info sheet and Terms & Conditions:

  3. When a drop‑off period opens, complete the resoling form:
    Form
  4. Drop your shoes at the Club Barracks.
  5. We ship them to APDV and handle everything from there.

Turnaround time: Approximately 3–4 weeks from shipment, depending on workshop availability.
Payment (including postage & insurance) is collected once the work is complete.


Drop‑off Schedule

To minimize postage costs, we organize bulk shipments three times a year:

  • March
  • June
  • September

If demand warrants, we’ll increase the frequency.
Need a special drop‑off slot? Postage may be higher, but we’ll do our best to accommodate you—just get in touch!
