About

Sole Performance on South El Camino Real in Encinitas's New Encinitas corridor has operated as a full-service shoe repair and orthopedic footwear shop for approximately 40 years, resoling hiking boots, climbing shoes, and Sidi motorcycle boots. The shop's rubber replacement and Vibram resoling work extends to surf and water-sport footwear carried by retailers like Hansen Surfboards on North Coast Highway 101 in Leucadia, handling neoprene boot sole bonding and strap repair for saltwater-degraded gear. Custom orthopedic inserts and alignment evaluations address plantar fasciitis, overpronation, and metatarsal imbalance, using heat-moldable EVA foam and rigid polypropylene shell construction to match individual gait profiles. Leather conditioning, dyeing, and stitching services cover dress shoes, equestrian riding boots, and motorcycle gear, complementing the garment-care leather work handled by Antoine's Cleaners for jackets and outerwear. The most complex rebuilds involve full Goodyear welt replacement on heritage dress boots, requiring sole separation, cork bed reconstruction, and hand-stitched welt attachment.
