Climbing Shoes
Patcher

Hi

my name is Francesco, and I am a cheerful person who likes to climb. I have travelled around the world climbing in different places and on different rocks; as a consequence, I’ve worn through more climbing shoes than I can count.

I’ve spent years repairing my shoes alongside a professional friend who taught me the craft, and now feels like the right time to take it further and share that knowledge with the wider climbing community.

Resoling is incredibly satisfying; repairing and reusing well-worn sticky climbing shoes, especially when there’s a chance to add a touch of customisation.

I am based in Glasgow, and I am slowly building up my business.
