A RESURFACING SERVICE AT DECATHLON
Is your sole worn out? Don't throw away your liner.
Our Decathlon workshops offer one of the best resole services on the market. Once you've changed your sole, you'll be able to climb again with your liner already in the shape of your foot.
Warning: as soon as you see the synthetic leather through the rubber, you need to stop and resole. If you pierce the synthetic leather, resealing will no longer be possible.
LINER SHAPE
Shape with a strong arch, a strong asymmetry and a high tension of the heel tensioner (moderate level). This shape provides maximum precision and power during your movements and strongly optimizes the support on small holds.
Warning: this shape, suitable for technical climbing, can deteriorate the comfort of the foot (especially on Greek-type foot shapes).
INSOLE
XS GRIP Vibram® rubber for excellent grip, even on flat or rounded surfaces.

SIZE ADVICE
If you're just starting out, we recommend taking a little tighter than your street size (e.g. 1/2-1 size smaller), but it's important not to suffer, so as to let your foot develop mobility, proprioception and strength.
If you're an expert climber, we recommend taking the time to try on the different sizes (1 to 2 sizes smaller) to find the best compromise between comfort and compression for greater push-off strength.
MAINTENANCE ADVICE
Our 1st piece of advice is not to machine-wash your slippers. The mechanical and thermal stress could damage them. We recommend washing them by hand, either with a sponge soaked in clean water, or with a sponge soaked in soapy water (Marseille soap), leaving them to dry in the open air, at a stable temperature and avoiding drying (radiator or direct sunlight). We recommend regular washing to extend the life of the shoe.
SOLE WEAR
Did you know? The more grip a rubber has, the more it wears out, especially in climbing gyms.
That's why we've chosen to work with Vibram, a recognized market specialist since 1937, and have carefully selected the rubber offering the best balance between resistance and grip.
Our tests show that, on average, a rubber wears out in 6 months, on the front of the liner and/or above. This can be even faster, depending on the quality of your foot placement.
Payment in 3 instalments is possible from a basket value of CHF 50 and requires the approval of our partner CembraPay. You will be able to choose this method of payment, and consult the terms and conditions and applicable fees when finalizing your order.
