how are the soles on these? do they wear out fast

wear out quickly (maybe even quicker than the uppers) but have divine grip/ board feel

i see. durable uppers because useless if the sole wears out quicker. until they figure that out, i'll pass on these.

I ordered some of the canvas jawns form a shop in Virginia. I went 1/2 size down from my other pair because I had some room to spare. When I got them and tried them on, I could barely fit half of my foot in them. I was about to blow my lid on Last Resort's inconsistent sizing, but then I noticed that the shop sent me a completely wrong size. Kinda funny, because the dudes at the shop who sent me the shoes spent a good deal of time writing my name in graffiti all over the shipping box but didn't even send the right item.

How much padding do the suede Hi tops have? I feel like the that could give a little bit more secure feeling around ankles than the canvas ones but they're still ok.

Anyone know what time the drop is for US?

I think today is just drop day for shops. I expect they'll be on the LR site tonight or tomorrow.

Nah, a webguy fucked up. It's fixed. Theyre up in the US, two colors for canvas. Just grabbed the black/black lo.

Also, I asked Pontus and the issue with the "skin shedding" on the sole's is fixed in this drop. Yay!

Good looks homie, just snagged the black canvas hi's. I prefer the blue tab for the suede but I wanna try out and see how the canvas compare to the suede.

No clothes this drop?

Anyone have both the suede and canvas VM001’s? Did the sizing feel the same?

I want to grab some canvas ones next…

[augustmoon]

Kind of concerned by all the these Last Resort sales.  This is the first skater owned shoe brand in forever that’s been worth a shit, so I hope they do well and stick around.  In the meantime, happy to pick up a pair of black on black lows for 65 bucks the other day

Yeah I feel like the Canvas ones are a little more snug. Could also just be a thing in my head. I am a 13 and was swimming in the suedes. Canvas, both Hi and Lo, feel much more true to size. YMMV.

Given how much they have for sale, how recent some of it is, and the quantity, Id say the problem is more on the shops end than the brand.

Yeah maybe the shop is going out of business?

I think I saw that Palomino Club has a 20% off Last Resort sale too, if anyone is still looking

Super tempted to get a pair of lows. Skating canvas hi now and liking them so far. Still, I always felt like low shoes hug my heel better if I don’t tie my hi's very tight.

Okay thanks - I’ve been going a half size down in the suede ones. I’ll probably go TTS in the canvas and see what happens

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

All black looks so good but I wish that:

a) they put more padding in the collar of the ho like they do with the suede ones

b) they didn’t use metal eyelets; the canvas ones (at least the lows) in the last drop used synth suede strips for the lace section and I think it looks a lot cleaner imho

[beatifk]

About to order a pair of the vm002 in suede without trying them on so I can have a fresh pair of shoes when I arrive for my holidays... Anything I should know?

I have the vm001 and I assume the sizing is the same and the blazer-esque sole/foxing looks actually better for me because I've had to do like 300 (attempted) kickflips to wear down the foxing on the vm001 to the point where they felt good to me.

[kelbywest]

So since this fit half a size bigger, I've ordered 2 pairs of the suede lo's in a 7.5 and they fit fine. I picked up the canvas hi's in the same size but I can't get my feet in them with socks on...not sure why the opening seems so small? I know if I size up they'll be a tad big.

I got both the canvas lows and higs in my usual size and they fit just great. I found the lows actually hug my ankles much better since they have padding around the collar which the canvas highs don't.

I'm getting a free "replacement" pair from a friend of a friend. He said he sent me "black on black suede highs". I'm pretty sure those don't exist, but I'll keep you posted if such a thing arrives at my doorstep.

These? I'm skating them right now. They've been really sparse at shops

Oh, sick... Didn't see them on the internets when I did a quick search. They indeed exist!

www.exoshop.com in Canada has a bunch on sale.  I waffle 10, 10.5 for sizing.  Went with 10.5, super wide foot.  Will my sizing impressions once I receive.

You guys rock, reviewed thread for sizing info.  I like em tight for skating, loose for chilling.  If they're on loose side I'll just wear them for chilling, if tight enough I'll skate em.

[JimGeko]

Does anyone know if Pontus is planning on doing cup soles?
