I don't know if any of you guys and gals are as hard on your boots as I am but I have a tendency to grind holes through the sole of particularly the right boot with my pegs.
I just spoke to A*s and they will resole your boots for $60-70 (plus shipping) which beats the shit out of tossing a pair of $400+ SuperTechs R's, etc onces a season.
You have to call them to get an RA# and then send the boots back. Supposedly they need 7-10 days once they have the boots in house.
I have my 1 year old SuperTechs R's which are almost all the way through the rubber on the right side and my old SMX Plus which also need new soles. I'm just going to send out my Supertechs first to see how things go. If all goes well I'll probably get the SMX's resoled too.
I'll post up with the results.

I've heard other people saying this was an option, but never heard of anyone actually using the service. Interested to see how it works out for you...

Had to call them last week to follow up. They billed me $70 and I just got the boots back today.

In addition to replacing the soles they put new toe sliders and heel guards on both boots. So if you figure $70 (including shipping) - that's a hell of a good deal.
