After looking and not finding anything I think is worthy to have a thread for this.
For what I got from their website:
Everything we like about vulcanised, cupsole and toe cap constructions in one shoe.
I remember reading somewhere that they have a midsole (EVA?).
I'd appreciate some intel from pals like TTS and all that jazz.
-
@PuffinMuffin skated a pair!
-
bro made a whole ass thread to ask about the sizing
-
has anyone skated these? also curious about the sizing lol
-
Actually I did.
TTS.
-
I have the 1pm in brown. Worn fair amount, not skated. They comfy, kind of feel like a firm but flexible thin cupsole. They have a foot hug feeling that I like.
I enjoy wearing them.
-
hell ya—true to size also worked nicely for you?
-

Yep true to size.
-
I have some too, echoing that they run true to size. Love how they feel walking around, I'd love to skate them but they're too unavailable in the US for me to want to ruin them.
-
I need to see some cut in half
-
cool thanks for the responses—I'll think I'll get them as casual shoes and not skate them yet... I don't want to get used to them and keep having to pay the shipping fees
-
I like the look, would cop. It says on their site that you can replace the rubber zero-two styles. That sounds like a gimmick, but anybody can confirm this? Seems like the sole would be worn under the toe anyway and not replaceable. Jus curious.

Maybe a shoemaker can do something there. They do have a label inside saying something like "this shoe is meant to be repaired"

As you can see the insole is massive, quite comfy really.
Great shoe if you like vulcs. Way more supportive than your average let's say GT blazer. Flick is dope.

So sick
I bet a climbing shoe resoler can add more rand rubber in the Ollie/kickflip area for sure, not sure about how to go about the bottom what with the tread and all but I could see someone just skating the approach shoe dot tread without too many issues esp in something like vibram megagrip
Rip five ten after adidas got them and wouldn't sell sheets of stealth rubber anymore and just wanted you to buy a whole new pair of shoes instead of resoling
Adidas hates da earf
Always wondered if these would skate well:

Prolly kinda stiff though being approach shoes. I know my sportiva TX3s are
Wish there was a place I could try these Village PMs on at, I fux w them
-
Maybe somebody in here has enough testosterone to send a DM and ask like a man where is possible to replace the rubber part.
-
Mine arrived yesterday. Since I’m used to wearing similar climbing shoes (la sportiva Mythos) I expected them to feel less supportive in the upper. But they feel more sturdy and comfortable than they look. It will probably be a long time until I skate them because I have too much shoes on ice atm.
-

Maybe it's like with climbing shoes (construction looks the same) and some cobblers do, some don't (most).
And maybe it's the same as with climbing shoes, it might not be worth it... :)

I don't have a pair yet and I'm not planning on skating them, but what i would do is go into your local climbing gym and ask the staff who re-soles climbing shoes locally
if you live in a city there will be people who do it near you
the upper part where the ollie/flip areas are will for sure be do-able
i wouldn't be surprised if the sole is do-able too, I've met people who just make their own climbing shoes for fun

How the hell can you get instagram to embed? Either way this randomly came up in my feed, I don't think I could pull off any of their shoes but I'm fascinated by them. Good to see a brand doing something unique.

Those mid tops look very cool. I'd be down to try a pair, but they don't seem to have 11.5 in their sizing, and I hate sizing up. Unless sizing down is the play, in which case, I might be persuaded. But for how much these are, I'd have to be able to try them on first.

Damn, these are all really sick. Does anyone know if they'll be coming to the states at any point? The way they're shaped it looks like extra room around the big toe which is cool.
-
The first ones gave me a heavy Savier vibe
-
I'm constantly flip flopping on whether these are cool or not. Nice to see something different though
-
Got a pair a while back and they definitely look cool but are basically a thin/basic vulc with a generic foam insole. Would've been way more into skating them like 5 years ago but have just been wearing them around occasionally. Definitely feels like the type of shoe you'd get used to then would have a hard time switching back to something else. The fit is nice for sure. Curious to try the cupsole ones that have been popping up on IG once they're out.

Same exact feeling. Thaynan makes em look super dope. The more I look at the all black version the more I like em though. Wonder if they’ll be a good shape for my foot..
I hope they perform well and catch on because one thing bothering me in skate media is the uniformity of shoes on skaters. Seems like everyone getting flowed Nike or Cons are wearing the same styles and colors. Skateboarding needs more variety.
-
For sure they perform better than GT which is already a very solid shoe if you like vulcs.
-
The assimetrycal laces throw me off. But i look looking at them
-
i have a mental image of
a petite woman in village pm
in the west village, past 6pm
when ever i ask myself
“who is wearing these outside of skaters?”
and i cant unsee it
-
Saw the all black pair on a skater at one of Stockholm's (visited family there in October) skate parks. They look sick, but also kinda weird in person. The monochromatic colors, specifically black, definitely hide the "wild" look everyone is talking about.
From a distance, didn't even notice they were Village PMs until I took a second closer look. Sick to see a company/people trying something creative for a change with skate shoes instead of reissues and simple vulcs/cups we've seen before!
-
I was really close to pulling the trigger on a pair, either to skate in or as an everyday shoe, mainly to support a European skate shoe brand that’s just starting out and trying to innovate.
However, after seeing their upcoming Fall ’26 collection, I was honestly a bit disappointed with the direction they seem to be heading. It feels very futuristic and leans heavily toward a couture / fashion-week type of concept (if that even applies to skate shoes). To me, that kind of approach can get old pretty quickly.
I would’ve preferred to see more of a focus on performance and technical details, like what they appeared to be doing with the first Jet, or even the introduction of a new silhouette.
That said, I hope I’m wrong and I genuinely wish them longevity — there’s room for different tastes, and it’s good to see new brands trying things out.
-
Yesterday I tried them with FP game changers sport and sole fits very well.
Will try to skate them to see if is doable for me.
When I tried them stock I had sore feet but that's normal for me unless I'm skating either 933 or 808
-
Been skating a pair of the 1.3 with FP insoles and I really like them. Fit wider than I would’ve expected but that suits my foot quite well.
Also my friend who owns a shop says that they should be distributing in the US pretty soon.

Hyped to hear that

got a pair today from a friend and skated them a bit after some jordan 1s. the stock insole choice is really bizarre. its maybe the hardest and stiffest foam i've ever had in a shoe. not a fan personally. like someone said before it does feel more like a vulc than a cupsole. its kind of a weird feeling because the insole is so stiff yet the upper is pretty comfortable and forgiving. they're crazy grippy with the toecap but the hard rubber covering the whole toe makes it kind of feel like you are stubbing your toe every time your foot shifts forward a bit too much. they also feel really stable against inversion but weirdly feels unstable for eversion. going to relegate to chillers until maybe the insole breaks in a bit but i also almost exclusively skate nikes anyways.
*edit*
I've worn them around casually for a bit and the insole does break in better after some time and is comfy in a firm way if that makes sense. I could see these being decent if I really committed. Lowkey into them way more than I expected.
-
I've skated four pairs of the 1.30PM's so far. They're by far my fav skate shoe, I can skate for 8 hours straight without my big toes feeling arthritic. If your feet don't like round toeboxes, they'll probably love these
-
Was just going to ask how can I cop in the US
But seems by the above messages it’s “soon”
-
Coolest skate show I've sworn off skate shoes but I might pick up a pair but I don't really wear baggy ass pants so I dunno if they gonna look right
-
I just might have been swayed by those mid tops
https://www.instagram.com/p/DUF0F-hkY0P/?hl=en&img_index=1
-
i dont think that angled lacing design
lends itself to mid/high tops
looks goofy top down
-
dropped at a bunch of Canadian places now
still need US retailers
-
Liking the all black and all red lows, seems like more non skaters are fucking with them than skaters and I don't mind that
-

I feel the same way, considering I was close to buying a pair until I saw that shipping is $25 and thought about the possibility of getting hit with tariffs on top of that, which turned me away. I'll wait for shops to get them.
Usually, $80 is the most I'm willing to pay for a canvas shoe, but I was intrigued by the designs.
For any Pals that have them, does the angled lacing prevent laces from getting ripped, or does it just delay it?
-
I ve got some all black 1pm.
Will not skate them just yet.
They do feel/fit nice though.
-
the high one looks really bad for aeshtetics

Can’t comment on the ripped laces because I’m not planning to skate my pair. But do want to flag that I got hit with a $35 duties invoice a couple weeks after I got them. I like the shoes but not a fan of the insoles, too firm for me.

Bought two pairs of the second drop canvas purple colorway and painted the uppers matte black. Only difference I could tell from the first drop is they added tongue stabilizers. The canvas on these is THICK

can we get an on foot look?
still on the fence with these, but the colors are right
-
There are some pics in my post history of other Village PMs if you're interested. I'm going to follow the directions with the fabric paint and let these purple ones dry for 72 hours before skating them
As for the laces ripping, it still happens, but I feel I'm not replacing them as often compared to normal laced shoes. They tend to rip by my ankles. Probably from eating it, I fall a lot
-
those will look so cool once the purple starts to wear through! I got the same pair, but wondering if anyone has been successful replacing the insole in them (cuz it's thicc)

I put some FP game changers sport high (gee, I felt stupid writing that) and they're a really good fit.
-
Do they feel as tight and unstable as they look? I climb a lot and I'd never step on a skateboard in climbing shoes with how cramped my toes are and how unstable and roll-prone the heel and ankle area is
-
I am planning on trying on a pair of the hightops when I am in Paris in May.
-

No they are actually wider than I originally thought, but still hug and secure your feet in quite well.
Edit - Also I should say I'm only wearing mine as casual shoes. Atm I'm skating NB 480's. See quite a lot of posters say they find them to be "tippy" but I've never had an issue with them.

i mainly wear them casually now but i did have 1 full sesh in them and thought they were actually pretty good after breaking in the insole (its on the thicker end and pretty firm, i recommend wearing them around casually before skating). they dont fit anything like climbing shoes thankfully. i have a pretty regular foot maybe on the narrow side and they fit fine true to size. not tight at all but i did get blisters on the only day i skated them because of the way the heel was catching my sock. if you have ever skated a GT blazer theyre similar in stability i think. theyre basically a vulc so the stability is not going to better than any cupsoles (dunk, AJ1, 440, 1010 etc...).

Sold some ish to offset the swoop. Dug these b/c they are just so different from anything i've worn / are into normally. wear 11.5, these are 12s and fit solid. Insole is crazy. Would order 11.5 if they made em but these will totally work. Shipped and delivered insanely fast.

The all black with white laces looks soo dope. I got the brown 1pm but might have to pick up the black as well.
How long did shipping take? Are you in the US? I was lucky to get mine off depop brand new, so far Village hasn't made it to Australian shops.

In the US. They are the NAVY from the most recent drop, have too many all black shoes and wanted to try something different, thinking brown chinos w/ em... Bought from Village PM direct webstore on 3/19 delivered 3/23 to SoCal.

When i look at them, I can’t help but feel that the higher rubberized part is on the wrong half of the toe

My brother is a moderately successful B level pro climber and it's hilarious to me that the faux hiker trend has gone this far. At first I found them repulsive, but now they're so ugly I got curious and grabbed a pair while in Europe. To me they're really weird feeling as they have insane grip but the upper moves a lot unless to tighten them pretty tight. I can see vulc devotees loving them, but I never fully got along with them.
Even though I dislike the looks I like that a brand is trying to do something other than reissue 90's shoes or produce sub par versions of the same few shoes for a decade.

It's batshit crazy in urban areas. You'll be 1000 km from the next serious peak and the same people that were sipping 15 Euro Glasses of Pet Nat in neon coloured high alpine boots (I literally saw someone in a bar on a 35°C summer evening in La Sportiva G-Techs!!) last year are now sampling the vegan cheese menu in their overprized approach shoes that will fall apart within two months on asphalt. Turns out Village PM were just ahead of the curve by a year. They should be making a killing right now. Or maybe their brand aint Gorp enough.
-
If anyone in the US is looking to try these out without paying for the shipping from EU, I just put up a pair of size 12 1:30s in the events/classifieds board.
-
Who has thoughts on 1pm versus 1:30pm on foot and such?
-

1pm are closer to a cupsole in terms of support and cushioning. The 130pm has less tech so it feels much thinner like a vulc.
-
Anyone know if any shops in Barcelona sell these? Out here on vacation from the US

Couldn't resist. Wear an 11.5, rolled dice w/ 11s. Swapped insole as these will be chillers for a min.
