i have the vm001 hi in canvas. they look like shit after wearing them only a couple times. they are not broken, they just look very beat up and faded already. i like that. but imo lrabs aren't better than vans. i find the sole to be incredibly heavy, which feels weird. i skated a bit in them for two times, but that was the old insole. i decided to keep them as strict chillers.
fuck it i'll just rate them like this:
style 8/10 i like the shoe, especially when worn on foot it looks way better than just in pics
fit(width and such) 5/10 cause a chore to get in and out, very long and narrow fit, bad heel lock
insole(old one) 6/10 it's alright honestly, but no real impact protection. feels like a better vans standards footbed.
wear&tear 4/10 after the first week the shoes looked like they were two years old. i'm okay with this, but it's weird. the soles hard edges peeled off in a very unappealing way as well. didn't affect fit or so, but also just weird. now i payed euro price, so for me these are actually cheaper than most vans(about 5 bucks) and for that, the shoes are ok. i wouldn't pay us prices ever for these, sorry.
