I've noticed there isn't an "official thread" for them.
Also, I was wondering if any EuroPALS have any idea if and when we'll be able to get some shoes.
The website is still UK only because of Brexit.
Great shoes tho!

I can't wait until I can try some on in person and skate them.
I would love to never need to give another penny to Nike/Adidas/etc.
And, yeah, it's fucked they can't ship to Eu now. It seems some shops have them, but they can't ship directly? I know Nozbone (Paris) has them in stock on their site and WallStreet (Lyon) posted that they have them, but they aren't listed on their site.

Yep, same here. Got a pair of the lows in black from the first drop but they are slightly big and I've been skating hi tops for the past 5/6 years so I don't wanna risk it.
Thanks for the head's up. I'll go check Nozebone.

I back these 100%. I have yet to skate the ones from the 2nd drop, but if the quality is the same these will be my go to shoes. I feel you on not giving the corpos any more $$.

they somehow didn't appear on the search, but also I was looking for a more Shoes & Gear related side of it.

Most of the sizes are sold out but but there's a few sizes on parade

I've managed to get a pair from a UK shop but I'm afraid I'll have to pay taxes upon arrival and they are going to take 1/2 weeks to arrive.

These look good too
Wearing my pair from the first drop now. I think the second drop they made a couple of small changes. Or maybe it is between the low and the high. Foxing looked a touch lower. The laces felt a bit thinner on the new drop, or revised a bit. One criticism is that black suede bled into the white laces a bit. I have black laces in them now and love the look.

none of my local shops are getting this so can't try them on. what's the comfort like on these?

Very glad I got these, the toe box doesn't look as stumpy in bigger sizes, looks a little more balanced.
They feel about a half size bigger than most shoes. I am usually a UK 10.5/EU45 and could have probably fit into 10s.
So are these essentially just Louies, but with fancier materials? Anyone skated both?
Damn it, now I have to buy some.

Bumming out so hard because after waiting forever for them I got the highs and felt a tiny bit big like others have mentioned, so i ripped out the glued in insole thinking different insoles would fix it but to no avail...still feel a tad big and im bummed. Haven't worn them at all and tags still on but insole ripped out...

what size? Maybe someone here could make it work. Does the stock insole still work, or did you tear/damage when ripping out?

Size 9.5, it left some foam glued on the inside of the shoe but would probably go back in fine. Trouble is I'm not sure if the 9 would perhaps be too tight just barely...That was always my problem with Hufs. 9.5 felt a quarter size too big, and 9 felt a quarter size too small so I could never wear hufs.
I, like many others, am insane about the way my shoes fit (gotta be snug) and if it's not quite right all hell breaks loose

Sounds like you should just put on an extra pair of thick socks and wear them in to fit. They bag out like all vulc so they’ll give for sure (alternatively, bust out the shoe stretchers - but wearing them in sounds the best option). Good luck!

If you end up wanting to sell em I'd cop. I'm a size 10 so they'd probably work for me.

On my second pair now, and am really enjoying them. Don't think I'll be skating anything else for a while. Looks like we'll see some snippets of the 3rd drop soon.

saw that on the IG story. Looking forward to what’s coming next. Could be the vegan model I posted above.
Not trying to skate my one pair too much to keep em and use as chillers. But I haven’t taken them off all week
-
Has Pontus or anyone mentioned different models of shoes in the future? I’m curious if they’ll stick to the kind of vans/cons-esque look or if they’ll branch out. I’d love to support last resort I’m just not feeling their current aesthetic. I like to look from a afar, but not something I’d wear yet
-
The mids look sick. Aesthetically what i want in an upper. Just need that cupsole.

I wear a size 10.5 normally but I got a 10 and they fit well

darkslide.cz in Prague has some left
Best shop ever btw

Wanted throw in my opinion.
Wider foot and on my first pair. Went TTS. The length felt nice and they are comfortable, not as much heelock as I’d like but they are well made, just not for wider feet. My arch area melted over and the shoe feels fine but I can see it adding up if I wear them for and extended amount of time.
-
I wear 10.5 Blazers, 10 in LRAB
Wearing the lows currently. Once the shiny surface of the sole is worn down it feels great on flick.
I'm incredibly flat footed, therefore a pretty wide foot and these work great for feeling tight but not crowded.
All i'm saying is, these are my new shoes and Pontus deserves an award for melding alot of great things into one shoe and trying to balance it really well while also being incredibly pleasant to look down at.
-
Agree wore the toecap a bit and the flick is great

What i did is rip out the insoles then got some fp 7mm flat insoles. Fit perfect in my 10s, im usually a 9,5

After seeing this, I've messaged them (LIKE A MAN) and for Europe they recommend Junkyard.com as they aren't gonna be able to fulfil orders.
-
Does anybody have a true unbiased opinion on these?
Seems like everyone that has them bought them because they like Pontus/Polar and haven't said much about cushioning or durability. Ripping out non-removable insoles already sounds like the shoes aren't amazing.
I'd like to hear how these differ from Vans/Cons, because I like them but I know the leather collar is probably gonna rub my Achilles and having no stitching on the upper is a sure sign of bagging out. For $85-95US that's a lot for sub-par footwear no matter where it's made.
-
My friend has had 4 pairs of the first run. Finds them to flop out less than normal vulcs and feel between a Cons CTAS Pro and Vans Old School Pros without the bulky insole. At the end of the day it's still a thin vulc. I'm breaking in mine right now and they feel better than my Blazer Hi premiums in terms of having some bend at the ankle while offering minimal support there. I don't see why the suede would last any less long than any other shoe.
-
Suede feels a much higher grade than a typical vans pro. They do feel (and fit!) similarly to a cons ctas pro. half size down.
I've worn mine to work past two days and spent some good time at a standing desk and hasn't been an issue. I forget they are on my feet and at 205lbs I do like supportive footwear. haven't found much to complain about except the suede making the white laces discolored. I switched to black laces and adjusted the lacing to under/over and I can slip them on well now.

They're great. But that's my opinion. I have skated them and I like them, they seem like they'll hold up.
However, that's my opinion and you won't trust it unless you try them for yourself.

As someone who really digs Pontus + Polar, I personally kind of hate the shoes. However, it is largely due to the fact that I became very acclimatized to skating leather + shoe-goo'd Reeboks (for ~3 months prior), and these were much grippier to adjust to. I'm about a week and a half in, with maybe 20 hours on the shoes, and I couldn't even kickflip properly until my last sesh, with the flick still feeling a bit off.
Another weak point for me is the sole/tread, it seems to wear down pretty quickly. Lastly, having a non-removable stock insole really annoyed me. I pulled the trigger on swapping for my usual FP insoles when I primo'd real hard right to the arch, but that involved an exacto knife and more elbow grease than seemed necessary. Swapping out did make me feel a lot more comfortable in the shoe, though. I'll probably come to a more lukewarm response with the shoe by giving it another week or two, but if you like cupsoles or more slippery shoes I would steer clear.

I haven't had them long enough to give a full review or anything, but my feedback so far...
The DMs they share on their stories of people saying the best shoe ever, marvel of shoe creation, masterly crafted etc is way way way over the top, like they are good, but by no means extraordinary. Yes, I'd say they are well made for the price and have premium looking aspects and do feel comfortable, but don't expect to be wowed by them, they're just plain skate shoes.
Cushioning is fairly standard, I'd say they feel better that Converse by a mile, close to a Blazer, but the insole is not close to the thickness of a Vans pro insole, but in my preference Vans Pro insoles are too thick and soft.
That leather bit inside isn't real leather, it's softer, I haven't had the issue of any rubbing.
One thing I am happy with is how it seems there is sturdy canvas under the toe box, which feels like it gives the shoe proper structure and hopefully prevents sagging out. This was something I didn't like about Blazer GTs, the toebox is super soft and get's a bit out of shape pretty quick.
All in all if you like how the shoes look, you'll by no means disappointed with the quality and how they feel on foot. They are just another decent option on the market for those who want something new.
-
A friend gave me a pair because they were too big. They're just a plain vulc with decent build quality. I don't hate them but there's no way i'd pay full price. Havn't skated them because i'm loving my Rowans right now.
-
Should I shoot for half size down? Usually a 10 and 9.5 in ctas... ballpark idea of sizing on LRAB?
Been on the Louie pro and these look sick, want to pull the trigger.

Thanks for the responses for those who have them, my assumption was close to what you wrote above...
I think there is probably lots of hype and fan boys (I usually buy Polar boards so don't hate me) that are over hyping the brand, also I think a lot of skaters are just trying to get hooked up by the new hot think so they're pushing the shoes.
Not hating on them at all, just looking for justification on buying a pair of simple vulc shoes that obviously cost a bit more because of the company name or artist behind it, nothing new.
I still want to try them, as they could potentially solve issues that I had with similar shoes (Cons OneStar, Vans everything)
-
I love Nike's for skating, don't love Cons, don't love how Vans end up. The LR will end up like more structured Blazers/GT Blazer hybrid. That's almost perfect and it's not made by Nike. I can't identify another skater-owned brand that can do that. Lakai certainly can't, Sole tech is often failing to do so, what else is there?

Just got the navy with black sole low top. They're definitely a higher quality vulc option and quite comfy(I ordered a half size down as many other suggested). Not a shoe I plan on skating but I really like how they look for a pair of chillers and also like to support a skater owned shoe company. Probably wouldn’t pay full price for another pair. I got these and a pair of skate highs when kcdc had their bogo 50% off sale

-
These look gorgeous. I know people have been mentioning the Vans vulcs as a comparison but while some of you describe the Vans insoles as thick, to me the extra high arch and lack of midsole make the forefoot ball to toe bed feel ultra thin. Do the Last Resorts have that thin vulc feel or that SB Blazer mid cushioned type feel?

Nah they're flat as shit, like the toe area of a Vans Pro insole at best, but from heel to toe. It's comfy foamy stuff, but I think maybe a couple of millimetres of extra foam counldn't hurt, even for just low impact skating. Bit pricey too, depending on how long they last.
Other than that, they look good and they seem like an all around good, comfy well made pair of shoes.
-
i missed on the first drop and after my homie gave me his review, i decided on getting a pair next drop. i'm a 10 and they fit just a little too big. i tried on the 9.5 and they were way too tight, so i went with the 10s and laced them a little more snug than usual and they're a fucking great shoe. a nice flick and toe. the laces haven't ripped on me yet. they're placed just high enough where they barely get touched. i was gonna say the suede wears out quick but i looked at the pair i'm skating in and the suede looks fine. more durable if anything especially since i set up a brand new deck when trying this pair. the insole looks hella fancy like a dress shoe, i kinda like that. like the greco shoe. i haven't had any heel problems and that's one of the major things i look for in shoes. stitching hasn't blown out yet either. it's been about 2 weeks.
that being said, i went and bought 2 more pairs.
-
they are $120 canadian, they better out perform/outlast blazers for that price.

Just chiming in on the sizing: I’m a perfect 10.5 in Vans and shell toed Adidas, a snug 9.5 in CTAS, and the Last Resort 10 fits me absolutely perfectly. Feet are slightly wide with a medium arch.

stitched in insole is a no. you could just get ctas they started doing suede toecaps again

Finally got my hands on the hi-tops!!!
I've ended up getting a smaller size (usually a US12, here an US11) and they fit like a glove.
Will give an update as soon as I get to skate them, but they feel amazing.

I have a hard time with these, I read to get a half size down so I did, the 9.5 was tight and hurting my toe, so I returned them for a size 10 and now these are two big for me, I’m bummed because I really wanted a pair but idk, the sizing is making it hard for me to wear

I have a wider foot and my LR's fit great. Its snug against my instep and side of my feet without feeling constricting. With my feet, I'm always searching for shoes that don't bag out on the sides right away but don't feel like its in a foot binder either. So far, these shoes are doing it for me.
-
Yeah they aren't narrow for me. The outsole shape is a bit more streamlined though.
You actually "sit" in the shoe really well due to the midsole/foxing coming up a good height around the entire shoe, and like @camel filters said the sides dont bag out at all. the suede feels thicker too which helps.
haven't felt the need to take the insole out. not looking to skate any impact though

Feels like the same to me, having a wider foot, these have just adapted to the shape without blowing out of shape.
Somehow the sole in the second run feels slightly thin, but again, I'll have to go out and skate them a bit to find out.

you have a pair of the first drop and second? And do you notice any differences? I thought the laces changed a touch too, second run being a little thinner whereas the first were oversized/thicc

Yeah but unfortunately I don't have them both here to compare 'em.
Will surely do it asap.
I'm basing it mostly on first impression, and they somehow felt less sturdy on the sole, but as usual after a couple hours, you forget you're wearing brand new shoes as they are super comfy.

Just got my first pair of these and figured I'd throw in my two cents on sizing. I skate Half Cabs in a size 8, but pretty much any other brand of shoe I'm an 8.5, or more often 9. Last Resort's size 8 was listed as the same length as Vans (26cm), and so I went with an 8 in the Navy Hi and they fit great.

I thought I’d not like my highs, but they’re strong contender for leather Nike replacements. Awesome grip, actually good ankle support, and not as floppy feeling as a GT Blazer. Curious to see if they stay like this. They definitely feel thicker than CTAS/Nike equivalents

Everytime I see these, I can't help but think "Discount Store Converse" I'm sorry! I know y'all like em but I can't unsee it.
These don't have the notorious failings of Cons vulcs (sole separation, suede bagging out a lot once they're real broken in, etc.) from what I've been seeing. Wonder how many/many more people from Cons (sponsored people not us regular folks lol) will jump to these...
-
I knew they revised the foxing height. Even comparing my drop1 lows to drop2 highs in store it was just slightly different.
I wonder when the last changed/updated? My drop 2 lows should be arriving from orchard soon so interested to compare to drop1 lows
-
Finally got to skate them yesterday, the boardfeel is great, I still find them a bit loose if that makes sense, but overall you forget that you're wearing 'em.
Sturdy as a Nike blazer for ankle support and flick/general skateability but I've felt the impacts on the sole a bit more.
Overall, to be a first session without almost walking in them they were great!!!
-
Gonna move onto my second pair of the lows soon and hopefully pick up a pair of the highs for the Australian autumn/winter.
Also saw that in their instagram bio they're teasing a "xxxx xxxxx" on the team. I'm hoping that those x's are Dane Brady ;).

I've been waiting for those vegan models too.
I'm 8.5 in State, 8 in Vans, 7 in CTAS pro.

Huge fan of 303 one of the best shops I’ve ever been to. Been contemplating picking up some LR’s from them all day

Just got the low ones in the mail. I usually skate nb cups cause I m old but I m seriously impressed by the feel and look. First time my girlfriend asked if they made them in women’s sizes because she thinks they look so good.
-
Been skating them for a week now.
The insole has actually adapted a lot more to the shape of my foot and it's very very comfy.
Not a lot of damage being done but I haven't flipped my board much, but the grip is great.
As pointed out by a friend, this shoe has all the best features from Cons, Nike and Vans combined.
Very happy with them overall, I finally got the black on black too, stoked!

Just got a pair of the blue/black hi tops on sale via Paradeworld/303 boards. Went down 1/2 size to 9.5. Gonna reiterate what others said, these things are solid, well built, look and fit great. Feel broken in out of the box. These might just get me off the teat of “big shoe” for a little bit

The T-Toe in that Sharpie doodle would be way cooler than those yellow jawns on the assembly line... all those are is an Old Skool with an early 80's adidas-ish wavy eyerow. Make that T-Toe happen, Pontus!!
-
I don’t think it was meant to be a “T” toe cap like gazelle.. it is just the perspective of the drawing. Definitely made some revisions during production samples it seems. The texture on the foxing looks great.
-
there's no way those drawings and those production samples are the same shoe. It's a fundamentally different toe and sidewall (ollie area) design.
-
Forgot to screenshot but I've seen a leather version of the VM0001 low.
They look so good, better than the cow/cheetah prints.

A few weeks skating them and they are pretty solid except for the insole. The sole it self is thick enough for a vulc but the fixed insole is feeling rough coming off of a popcush insole before this. The upper is holding strong tho. Contemplating ripping out the insole or just toughing it out til my pair is dead. Prob wouldnt get another pair for skating though i do like how they look.

Strange, I feel like the insole is the true game changer, while I hate Vans whatever-cush, I felt that the sole on LR was thin but as the insole held up and adapted to the foot, it made them more comfy and durable.

I'm also on the heavier side so that might play into it. I don't like how pop cush pushes your foot out of the shoe which makes LR better for everyday wear but i need a bit more cushion. Maybe the skate vans will be good for me since it sits lower into the shoe.
-
Haven’t skated mine, but I’m honestly surprised to see people trashing the insoles. They’re so goddamn comfortable. Shoes that look this basic and thin have no business being that comfy. Got the black low tops in suede and will definitely be getting another pair.

agreed I’m good with it. Ctas I would say are a softer density removable insole but bottom out

It's a solid insole but once that initial solid feeling goes away, my feet just feels a bit at risk in these. It's usable, just not optimal. Again, thats just me and my feet. Many people are loving these.

Probably been answered so apologies..... But what's the board feel like?

Anybody rocking these shoes with Polar Big Boys for the full Pontus support kit?
I just wanna see how ridiculous that combo looks with massive pants and thin 1930's shoes.

Had a pair of these, great quality kicks across the board and they lasted me forever but the kinda super minimalist Converse look isn't really my vibe; never was that stoked looking down at these. If they do some techier shoes at some point i'll be back.
-
On another note, does anyone know where I can get laces that are similar to the last resort stock laces? I'm really liking the thickness and the way it wears down.

I wasn't able to rip my insoles out of the second pair of these that I bought so I just put my special insoles right on top of the ones it comes with lol. Fit is fine, if a bit narrow.

Id say closest thing ive felt to last resorts is the academy low/high from that bobby/sage collection. Which i think is basically just a chuck 70 insole on a normal cons outsole

Just tried on a pair of mustard low-tops yesterday. A friend got some in but we’re too big for him.
I usually use Vans, and find slip ons the best for my foot. But there were narrow for me the front, and the heel cup was loose.
I’ll wait and see if the canvas high tops fit any better, but for now they are a no-go.
-
might check them out next week if i get a shopping slot booked at the local(retail has to make shopping appointments now due to corona, only two people are allowed in the shop at the same time). but from what i heard, they run big, and the smalles size they have is my true size, so we'll see.

The guy tried to get them in his size, 8, but they were more like a 9. I’m a 9 in Vans, and they were a touch long lengthwise, a but tight in the front and loose in the heel up.

Have you ever tried heel lock lacing?
https://youtu.be/OBbc6TackDQ?t=77
I just started doing this and it is a noticeable difference. I have the highs laced this way on the 6-7 eyelets and then go through the 8-9 normally and the fit is very secure.

I don't think I could get through 4 pairs of shoes in however long theyve been out. Even if I skated a new deck everyday and only did kickflips and cigarette stomps on the grip.
-
That's a first for me too.
I have been skating at least 4 times per week for 3 hours since October. I was in Rome for a few months, perfect weather most of the time. I had pretty much no job or obligation. I was an "aupair" in a family, but I only had to be around the house from 4pm to 6pm in case the kids wanted to do stuff with me aka teaching them to cruise on the board. (I did not pay rent or food, that was pretty nice)

Been skating twice a week between the slappy and the local DIY.

I really hope last resort starts moving towards more of a huf look, atleast aesteically , with their shoes. I find their shoes they have out right now look and feel way too thick and bulky. I noramlly just skate plain canvas converse or chuck 70s but i really want to support pontus and a genuine skater owned brand. Hopefully next shoe they drop is going to be something thin and light and mayyyybe have a toe cap, would be too sick.
Also Dane is confirmed on last resort, seen two clips of him in their shoes floatong around aswell as a story that ace posted that was just a pic of his setup and his foot ontop in which he had the all black lows on.

You surely don't sound like a fan of Pontus if you just want him to make a Converse replica for you to skate. How long have you had a pair of Last Resorts on your feet/skated them?

I really hope last resort starts moving towards more of a huf look, atleast aesteically , with their shoes. I find their shoes they have out right now look and feel way too thick and bulky. I noramlly just skate plain canvas converse or chuck 70s but i really want to support pontus and a genuine skater owned brand. Hopefully next shoe they drop is going to be something thin and light and mayyyybe have a toe cap, would be too sick.
Also Dane is confirmed on last resort, seen two clips of him in their shoes floatong around aswell as a story that ace posted that was just a pic of his setup and his foot ontop in which he had the all black lows on.
You surely don't sound like a fan of Pontus if you just want him to make a Converse replica for you to skate. How long have you had a pair of Last Resorts on your feet/skated them?
Or he just wants LR to make something he prefers to skate and can support and also loves Pontus' companies and skating? Being a fan doesn't mean everything the person puts out is to your taste...
Pontus pre-LRAB did alot of collabs with cons so it makes sense a fan of him would be used to cons shoes.

I said this because he mentioned wishing Last Resort would move in the aesthetic direction of HUF and that he basically wants a Chuck Taylor knock off. So those were the reasons I said he doesn't SOUND like a fan, and why I asked if he'd ever actually tried the shoes. Thanks for the standard douchebag response though... Orrrrrr like maybeeeeee.... did you like consider... umm.... duhhh..... ::)

Yo. Hold up. I feel like I’m taking mentally unstable pills here or something: the ab’s are already very, very similar to a cons shoe, no? Like if it was much more similar, it’d just be the other thing. What am I missing?

Ive skated a pair of the highs for about 3 weeks and while they are thin, theyre not as thin as I prefer for skating. I didnt say that I want Pontus to make a knock off chuck taylor, I just said I hope they make a shoe comparible in thickness to a classic chuck. I dont get how me liking skatin thinner shoes and liking how a toe cap skates make me "not a fan" of pontus. You sound incompetent as fuck.

Reread your own post out loud. My response to that was fine. My post had none of the "standard douchebag response" tropes you claimed. All I did was respond to what your post read as. And why does wanting a chuck rip off make it sound like hes not a fan? Polar did assloads of cons collabs before LRAB. The LRAB sole pattern is literally a rip of the chuck sole.

The canvas hi-tops might actually be more like Cons? That's my main concern.
For me it's the actual opposite, I'm glad that they have made a thick padded "plain/cons looking" shoe.

If anyone is interested, I'm selling a few pairs in size 13 here: https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=116213.0
I bought two too many pairs and I'd rather spend that cash on the vegan version when it drops.
-
so if I´m wearing US10 for vans halfcabs pro (basically any vans pros) which size should I get?
-
Anyone with inside knowledge know when drop 3 is? Looks like there are some nice colours coming.
-
I am also really looking forward to the new drop. A few locals that Pontus is flowing shoes already have the new colorways so the shoes should be dropping soon enough.

I would just get an US10. I buy the same size Vans as I do Last Resorts.

If you can afford 2 pairs of "no frills" skate shoes, buy some States and a pair of these, if you can only afford one pair, get the States. I say this because I need State to continue to exist so I can continue skating their shoes. Also, they did it first and without making a gimmick out of the fact they have no gimmick.
Big fan of Pontus but I suspect he doesn't need your money and this company will do fine anyway (I hope it does).

Problem is State don't look great and for most people don't have the same appeal. In the UK they just end up in Route One's bargain bin. It's a shame, yeah, but buying stuff you don't really like that much just so it exists isn't how most people make their purchases.

Maybe its that particular artist’s R. Crumb rip-off style, but hooked noses on seedy looking dudes is a little too close to the images that come up when you search for nazi caricatures of Jews.

FWIW Mike Lotti (the artist) is Jewish and went as far as to remove Two Felons from his skate shop shirt when he found about their WP connection. Not in a position to elaborate on his motives but felt it worth mentioning.

Maybe a bit of Cons influence but Stepney WC is what Alv is ripping off. My pal has a pair of the lows in all black and they seem ordinary. Just a court shoe. Last Resort is just the discounted Stepney WC....

i don't know, at this point, it has all been done. last resorts are like all basic vulcs in one. little bit of cons, little bit of vans, little nostalgia like sheep or airwalk(fat and strong laces) little bit of higher prized skate inspired sneakers like swc, no doubt.
swc have that weird little nub on the inside of the outsole. that always rubs me the wrong way. have thought about buying a pair a few times though. i'm sure they skate fine and they seem well made. but i agree, they look pretty ordinary.

Well, Stepney's are a knock off Adidas Loveset (an old archival Adidas silhouette) but with a higher sidewall anyway... Nothing's 100% original at this point and smaller brands take inspiration from everywhere since they dont have a legacy to base stuff from.
I still think Last Resorts look a lot more like a Cons without branding (One Star CC) than SWC. Panelling, shoe shape wise and even the fuckin' outsole is basically the same, so I dont see why you think the other way around... maybe colorways?!

those eyelet/lace panels and toebox look nothing like the last resort VM001. The shape and the tongue opening panel is pretty similar, yeah. But as @Sk.A.T.A.N said, everything "new" takes inspiration from other footwear silhouettes and history. Those SWC are a clear rip of those adidas...

as earlier mentioned, these are available in the UK but coming soon to US with the next drop i'd guess. Probably see the vegan model at the same time? not sure.

I noticed that their recent drop finally have size 13s so I’ll probably cop a pair during their next drop.

Chiming into say I’m on my fifth session of the VM-001 Hi blue/black and they’re the most comfortable skate shoe I’ve ever had straight out of the box; holding up super well on brand new grip tape too.
I’ve never fucked with athletic footwear; skated state and puma on and off for a while, mainly vans for years, but last resort is lightyears ahead of all three in terms of comfort and quality. Def going to be skating them indefinitely despite the hefty price tag. Stoked to have another option out there that’s skater owned.
-
Shamelessly posting this cause I’m currently decluttering before a big move - if anyone wants to scratch that itch and pull the trigger on these.
https://depop.app.link/jy8QWCobnfb
I skated a pair and love them. The fit reminds me of a vans epoch sport. Already eyeing a second pair - I’m just not a fan of this color way so I’m sellin’.

One size too small, or I would. I bet someone cops soon

I have no evidence to back this up but I feel like they are going to drop a Dane Brady part with the announcement of him on the team. Haven't seen the dude for years tho, just have a feeling.

I have wide feet as well, with no arches, and the lo's fit me really well. have not tried on the hi's.
-
i ordered hi top a size up after literally measuring my foot like the size guide on the website said I should. I'm a true 12.5 but have sized down to 12 w footprints for the last couple years in vans and non-chuck converse. Pretty wide feet I guess. Plan to trade em in for a 12 if they're really too big, but I might not skate them at all because of the stitched in insole/they look nice/vulcs are getting harder for me to skate.
To be frank it's funny to me to give Pontus more money but even if it's corny occasionally, he's never done wrong w his companies. Weird that theres only been like insta footage so far, but covid severely hinders the whole pontus filming thing, right?
-

yes correct. unless you're dealing with ankle issues that would do well with the support/protection, or have a delicate butterfly's flick that would be restricted by it.

Any europals order directly from Last Resort website recently?
I'm wondering where they ship from because if they're shipped from UK I don't want anything to do with it. Since Brexit, anything shipped from UK is a mess. But if they're shipping from EU it should be fine.
I already DM'd them like a man but also wanted to see if anyone had any personal experience with it lately... Thanks!

It seems that they are shipping from within' the EU, the last drop wasn't even available for Europe as all the shoes were in the UK, so I guess this time they have all sorted out.

So completely fucking annoyed with the changes to Vans I went on and out of pure frustration just bought a pair of LRAB His and one pair of Lo's (and a tee). I fucking hate vans for what they've done to their shoes, but I hope this wasnt a mistake copping so much LRAB in one go, sight unseen, but they have some 13s now so I went for it.

That is not true. You are confusing it with cheap cost of living (which is not even that cheap when your salary is -/+ 700 a month). Taxes are pretty high in Portugal, that's why there's a lot of Portuguese companies that suddenly are based in the Netherlands (for example), for obvious tax invasion reasons... You do get some exceptions on taxes for a few years if you're a foreigner creating a new business in the country (I think, at least it used to be like that).

I didn't know about companies but for what I know personal taxes and living costs are pretty low.
I remember reading about a lot of people would retire there because of no taxation on their income.

Honestly really happy I went to true to size (with what I wear in vans). I’m a borderline 10.5, or probably around a 10.25 in reality and they fit perfectly in 10 for me. So I guess I get why people half size down if you’ve already got some wriggle room in your tts size.
Quality is definitely up there! Will be interesting to see how they skate! They almost remind me of moon star shoes ...

Nice, glad they fit you! the quality and fit and finish is definitely a notch above.

them and camel clutch are the only two shops I know in Japan that got the canvas versions; seems like they only really giving them to core shops whereas even non skate/ fashion shops like United arrows are getting the regular ones. Canvas ones don’t have padding around the collar either; debating whether to skate them or not...
-
On my second pair. Have yet to try the high tops. Love em. I could skate these forever.

Have you tried the suede hi-tops? Would you say it feels different? I like the puffy collar somehow.

I see, thanks. I'm very curious to try the green canvas, I'll let you know the differences, if there are some.

For those of you that have skated the hi's, is it just me, or does it seem like they would take forever to put on/lace up?

tbh I got calluses putting white laces in mine, but the suedes broken in now and it's really easy to pull out two eyelets to take them on or off. your sock slides in on the leather around the top inside. I'd been skating a pair of crocket his right before them and the last resorts are less of toil. I have big heels too

Couple questions: Anyone own a pair of the VM002's? I found the VM001's to be a little on the large side, wondering if these are the same. I'm assuming they are, as they're being made in the same shop and all. I'm also assuming all the same shit is dropping in the US as Japan... but anyone know for sure if that six panel hat is coming out here? I know sometimes Polar seems to have a couple pieces that are only offered overseas.

You can't remove insoles, but they run a quarter size big, in my experience. So what I did was just pop an insole on the top. Had no issues, just added a layer of comfort. I do have narrow feet though, so your experience may vary.

Sorry let me clear my question up:
From my understanding the insoles of these are sewn in, so I was more wondering has anyone cut them out and had success?

No, haven't tried that. But it doesn't seem like it would go well. It would be... messy. Unless you're really good with an exacto knife and are gonna glue them in or something. Good luck.

How are the insoles in these?
I'm used to pop cush and Remind Medics.

Honestly, they’re not super supportive/cushy.
They aren’t uncomfortable, but I do have an extra pair of insoles in mine, just right on top. That’s partially because they’re a little big on me.
-
Thanks for the response. Love the look of these shoes but if I can't up grade thin and flimsy insoles not sure I'll try them. too many broken toes and old joints...

003s maybe from Pontus' story that I can't figure out how to post. I really like them. Also someone asked about the fit on the 002. I find it fits just the tiniest bit tighter (better for me). I wear tts equivalent to blazers and vans.

I have. It was very difficult and left some foam and required a lot of tugging and hurting fingertips BUT was worth it. Replaced with Vans ultrachush (which i know is disliked by some) and couldnt be happier. I’m sure any other insole would work as well.
Edit: i should add they are glued in with some sort of adhesive, not sewn in. Think Vans classics insoles. Basically the same as that

Hey, next time throw them in the microwave for like 20/30 secs. That reactivates the glue and you should be able to pull them out much easier. You can also try with a hairdryer if you wanna do it more carefully bit by bit.

it works a lot better on those one piece toecap styles. i agree these look too stubby. the lacehole panel is also a bit wide. could be a decent one star alternative if it would be reworked slightly. recess the laces a bit and slim that panel down and i think it would look much better.

Thanks for the 002 fit response. I'm gonna buy a pair, but I do want to get the sizing right. Sounds like you own both styles... did you find the 001's a little big for you when you went tts? Because some said they didn't find them big, but I found them about a half size large. Are you saying that the 002's fit more tts than the 001's? Because Blazer's fit just right on me. Thanks.

Yeah the 01's fit my foot lengthwise pretty well but I have pretty narrow feet so there's a little bit of room on the sides and top. That's even more the case with the high top 01. I haven't spent a lot of time walking around in the 02's yet and I haven't skated them but my initial impression is it they feel much more secure around my foot, but about the same in length, which works for me really well. I think that the Blazer mid is pretty much the perfect shoe and wear that most of the time. By comparison these are a tiny bit looser than I would like, but still fit better than the '01s. I've entertained the idea of going down a half size but I feel like the length would ruin my life if I did that so there isn't a perfect solution on my end yet

This is pretty much my exact issue. I have really narrow feet and the fit you describe has also been my experience. The 001 felt a quarter size too big all around. I am gonna go a half size down on my next order. I’m getting a pair of both 001’s and 002’s, so I will let you know how it goes—hopefully it doesn’t suck!

My 1/2 size down pair fit great at first, but months later they're snug enough to make me question whether I got the right size. They work with thin socks though. Someone wrote that they run a quarter size big and that person is spot on. I've just come to accept that I will forever be in between sizes in anything hip... Good luck and maybe go TTS if you like thick socks and dislike ingrown toenails.

i struggle with this as well and this is somewhat useful info, since my local doesn't carry half a size down from my true size. but hopefully i can try these on once they drop and see if tts isn't too loose. not sure if we are talking about the canvas ones here, but in my experience canvas shoes don't blow out as much as suede, so i guess that limits a bit how well they wear in compared to a snug fitting suede shoe bagging out.

I mean, you guys all seem like you're familiar but is the size chart on their website not that useful? Kind of glad I haven't gotten a pair yet but Im getting pretty thirsty

I've skate two pairs now and they hold up very well except for the sole. Both pairs of mine had balded out on each shoe right under the ball of my foot. With that aside, I think they're great and if they fixed this problem I probably would skate Last Resort exclusively.
-
I also have a Little problem with sizing. 11.5 was snug, thought it was perfect at first but after having Them on at home for a Day i realised that i cant really move My toes around. Got a 12 instead which fits nice with a extra insole, but Still a Little play at Times.
For you who went half a size down, Do they stretch a Little after Broken in?
-

it's only of so much use, since it only accounts for footlength and not width, also it seems like last resort shoes sit somewhere between everything fitwise, there were a couple comments like "tts is a bit too loose or feels like i need to double up on socks, but half size down fits too snug." v002 apparently fits a bit different than v001.
from what i gather most people get half a size down, some tts, and a very few had to go a whole size down. to me it sounds they fit like cons chucks or one stars.

Same here, the upper is holding on perfectly and I've been skating a pair for almost over a month.
The sole is giving up now, but tbh it's a lot better than Vans. I've tried a new pair of Vans the other day and they were just hurting my feet terribly, then skated the next day with my beaten up Last Resort's and they felt much much better.
Can't wait to try the green canvas ones.

I’m a month deep into my first pair and they’re still skating so well. Don’t see myself skating anything else for the foreseeable future. At first the price was off putting (still hefty IMO) but I think in the long run I’m saving loot because they don’t blow out after a few sessions. They look good, feel good, perform super well, and are owned by a skateboarder, so it’s a no brainer for me.

Mentioned this before, but damn it bums me out to hear that the soles on these are the first thing to go.

My local shop just got the drop, I’ll go check ‘em out tomorrow.

Got the black canvas lows from my local. I was really torn between going half size down or TTS based on all the feedback here, so that's why I wanted to make sure to go to the shop and try them on. Ultimately I wound up going TTS. Whoever said that they run 1/4-size large is exactly right. It's not really enough to size down, but TTS has a bit of room lengthwise.
Also, the insole is garbage, it's super thin, even less than newer vans classics i'd say, and more like what you get in non-G6 emericas, or like general release Stan Smiths. It is stitched in, but it's only a thin single-stitch going down the center of the insole, starting from around the back of the arch to the toes. Just pulling on it already ripped the first few stitches, and I think it would be pretty easy to fully remove with a razor blade. Probably easier overall than trying to remove some vans classics insoles. Will report back after I give it a proper effort. Overall happy with the shoe tho.
Edit: the insole is absurdly easy to remove. If you've ever tried to remove an insole from classic vans, this is like 10x easier. The left shoe seemed to have 4 small stitches at the arch, and then a completely ineffective glue patch at the ball of the foot. The right shoe made me second-guess the stitching thing. There was one "stitch" at the heel, about 2 at the arch, and the same poor glue job at the ball. I question the stitch thing because it seems that maybe it's just really small patches of super-glue? I don't see any actual stitches.

I’m a 10 in DC, Nike, and Emerica, 9.5-10 in Adidas (depends on the model), 9.5-10 in Vans (also depends) and 9.5-10.5 with New Balance and their inconsistent sizing.
Tried on both the VM001 and VM002 at my local shop. 9.5 was too short length-wise, but fine width-wise, 10 was a bit too long, long enough that it would bother me, and was slightly too wide, I have a narrow foot. 1/4 size too long seems pretty spot-on. I didn’t see much of a difference in fit between both models.
Left with size 10 Blazer GT pro low’s, my go-to these days. I really wanted these, but I don’t see a point in buying a shoe that doesn’t fit me properly. Maybe somewhere down the road I’ll give ‘em another try once they’ve been around a bit longer and get their fit dialed-in.

it’s a bit of a weird place between sizes. Went tts and with thicker socks they honestly felt fine, maybe a touch of heel
Slip, half size down fits me too but I need thinner socks and my right foot (the bigger of the two) kinda feels a tad cramped ... I think if you were going to change out the insole like @kneebone did and put something a tad chunkier in there, tts might be your best bet!
-

Just out of curiosity, what about the quality was suspect? I own a pair from the first drop, and the quality is top notch, in my opinion.
Are you saying because of the price point? Not trying to say you’re wrong or anything, it’s just your opinion—I’m just curious because as an owner of nearly every brand of skate shoe over the years I thought these were super nice, for skate shoes anyway.
-
it's not suspect, but after hearing ppl talk about how nice the shoes were, i was expecting more, especially at that price point.
-

Gotcha. To each their own, I was just curious what aspect of the shoe wasn't up to snuff.
Personally, I think the materials are top notch. These shoes cost around 15 dollars more (give or take) than most skate shoes, and I think I see enough of a quality increase to warrant it (thick suede, cotton laces, nice midsole, leather lining, etc). Plus, I like that the shoes are made in a shop that guarantees a fair wage and fair treatment.
However, I don't skate like I used to. If I were blowing through a pair every three weeks like I did as a yute (before I got old and rickety), I wouldn't spend the extra money. But I'm mostly just rolling around these days, and aesthetically, I think these look super nice. But again, that's obviously just an opinion.

In an interview with Pontus on Jenkem. He said they pay a higher price for their labor, gets photos from the shop, and said that when he can travel again, he'll go and see the production for himself to make sure nothing "shady" is going on.

I haven't skated mine yet, but they do have a pretty significant rubber backing around the forefront of the shoe, similar to Vans duracap underlay.
-
Got a canvas pair in 8.5 (usually wear a 9 but figured i’d size down) and they’re pretty tight on my feet but i can imagine going up a half size would cause a lot of heel slip and just wouldn’t fit as well. i wore em for a couple sessions and have walked around in them a bunch and they’re definitely breaking in and way more comfortable.
great shoes and would definitely recommend. have a pair of the hi tops coming too. hope every drop has some sort of vegan option from now on.
-
just got in my pair of size 9 b/w hi top vm001s. right off the bat the insoles are super comfy. im a true size 9 in vans and didn't have to size down at all. will update once i skate.
-
Just got my low top canvas in. Went half size down. Should have went true to size. Too snug. I’ll keep em and just deal but next time sticking with true size.

Maybe they stretch with time if you walk around in them at home?
Thinking about doing the opposite and going half a size down. They were very snug on me too but i hope the Suede ones Will stretch a Little on the length.
I put some extra insoles in My tts but i can Still fit a finger between My heel and the shoe.

Right. I just had my first sesh in them and was fine. I’ll do an update once I’ve had em for two weeks.

My two cents: bought a pair on the first drop, went tts, had your issue—too big, even with insoles. I can wear them, but they’re too big. This drop, copped a pair of both the vm1 & vm2’s, this time a half size down. They’re just a tad too small. They’re suede, I’m sure they’ll stretch a bit. They don’t really hurt my feet.
Verdict: In the future I will continue to go a half size down, even with the *slight* cramping. I do have a very narrow foot, and the tts pair is just too big all around. I’d prefer shoes be a little small than a little big, personally.
So... if you have wide feet, I think tts should work out. If you have a narrow foot, I think a half size will work, just be prepared to have some *slight* big toe cramping at first.
The only shoe I can compare it to is Cons One Star Pro or Jack Purcell pro. I have this same “quarter size off” issue with those—though for both those, I go tts. These, it’s a half size down. Hope this is helpful.

I bought the size that corresponds to my japanese size in other shoes since cm is less open for interpretation than other sizing scales...
I wear 41 in vans which corresponds to 8.5 US. 41 in cons which is an 8 US. 42 in Adidas which is an 8.5 US. So it's all a big mess.
I bought a 41 in Last Resort. They feel long but not big, if that makes sense. I definitely need to break them in a bit before skating them, but that's because I like my skate shoes soft like slippers.
For anyone looking at the white suede ones, I got the highs and they're definitely more of a light grey than white. In fact, they come with 2 colors of laces, one white and one that matches the suede which is grey. I like the color, they're just more grey than I was expecting.
I am looking forward to skating them and hoping to never buy any of the big corporate shit ever again.

I was stoked on the white until I saw they were more gray. Offputting for sure, but saved me another $85 so I guess I'm grateful in the end.

Got my canvas joints today, a pair of hi's and a pair of lo's and AHHHH I love them so far. I feel like the hi's fit a little better for some reason than the suedes. Might just be random, but this is all I need for the kind of skating I do and I am stoked to be in a vegan shoe that fits so well.
-
Second sesh today in the low top canvas
General thoughts...
Durable (thick canvas. Much better than a vans era)
Starting to stretch a little (a good thing. Found them to be snug at first)
Not very comfortable (good board feel but other vulcs are better)
Kid at the park came up and asked me if I was wearing Last Resorts and he was stoked lol
Comfort will be a make or break for me on whether or not I buy these again in the future. Perhaps they’ll get better with some more time.

Does anybody have a true unbiased opinion on these?
Seems like everyone that has them bought them because they like Pontus/Polar and haven't said much about cushioning or durability. Ripping out non-removable insoles already sounds like the shoes aren't amazing.
I'd like to hear how these differ from Vans/Cons, because I like them but I know the leather collar is probably gonna rub my Achilles and having no stitching on the upper is a sure sign of bagging out. For $85-95US that's a lot for sub-par footwear no matter where it's made.
skated the green ones, nothing special, boring silhouette, had to take out the insole witch they glue... over all ehh its a simple shoe, don't like the shine on the mid sole makes it look like a cheap shoe and they are pricey for what you get. Still prefer vans ou cons jack parcel
-
these cost the same as cons or vans, even less if you take the canvas versions. but i live in eu. actually surprised they are that cheap. 70 euros is about 10-15 euros cheaper than most skate vans.
-
Only slightly related but i went skydiving in my lr highs. Felt fresh as fuck as i freefalled
-
The durability is amazing, not a single hole and i skated the shit out of them until now.
[/quote]
I skated these for about a month and definitely had a very different experience. The upper was pretty sturdy but I definitely had some serious holes going after a solid week and a half of skating fairly often. The main issue though is the absolute dog-shit sole. It wore down so much faster than any other brand I've skated recently. The outer foxing separated from the sole and became an intense pebble collector, in addition to just making the shoes lifespan awful. Retired them a good several weeks earlier than I have any of the other recent shoes I've skated (namely Crockett hi's and 440 hi's). If the sole weren't so fucking awful I could have seen myself shoe-gooing the holes and skating them for a while longer, but for now I'm not revisiting this brand unless I hear that some serious work has gone into fixing the sole problem.
-
I'm on the second pair now, even if I'm not skating much (1-2 times a week) I still have the first pair on the side for curb/mellow street skating and I've had them since february. The sole is giving up, but no rips, no lace nor stitching rips, abasolutely loving them.
Can't wait to get the canvas hi's.
-
two weeks into skating my hi top suedes.
amazing actually. like it has all the benefits of cons and vans at the same time and they fit perfectly. they hug my feet really well and make me feel very in control of my board while still providing a strong cupsole ish feel to them. board feel is great too but i’m mostly skating tranny so it doesn’t matter to me too much.
one thing i did notice and i’m not sure if anyone mentioned it yet but they have this like weird type of plastic film that lines the foxing of the shoe. it’s not even a big deal but it’s odd it’s almost like my shoes are shedding after being skated and i find myself picking them off almost like i’m pulling off dead skin. odd but whatever

yes!! I was wondering if it was only my pair? My new canvas lo's are doing that and it seems really strange.

Just got some hi tops, they fit length wise but feel wide. Skated them on my cruiser board and they grip good, but honestly they feel like a cross between PK Flyers, Chuck Taylor's and a 80s hi top vans shoe that were not the skate ones.

I'd agree with this review. At some point I received a few 'kooks' for posting a pair of SeaVees in the non-skate shoes thread, but honestly these Last Resorts look similar and feel just like those SeaVees I got.

Almost gotten trough the second pair, I've noticed that the sole goes quicker than the upper but I'm not that mad.

They won’t be my main shoes but I really dig em, even off the board

I've had two pairs of the lows and a pair of the canvas highs and got the lotties vm002s as well and they're by far my favourite, shape on all of them is spot on for what I like in a shoe I'm not chucking myself down stairs so I don't really need much support from an insole, quality is much better than any vans or cons I have had and took a long time so get a hole in the side even in the canvas ones, only draw back is the peeling on the sole where the shine comes off but that only happened on the canvas highs, just looks a bit funny but i just peeled it off while watching the new quasi video so it's not a big drawback. Definitely the only shoe I will wear skating from now on.

My local shop can't get rid of these things to the point they're BOGO. IF anyone is a fan hit up contact skate shop in Memphis and see if he's still running that special. Personally I like them if I were to wear them casually but I only wear cup sole shoes when i skate.
-
I've been on some shoe madness lately trying to find better support and no idea why I ended up on these considering they're a vulc with a thin insole. I just really liked the look of them and the reviews I was reading seemed like they were made with better quality control than the big name brands. Went with the black/white low top suede. Just got them today and the support feels on par with Vans' "skate" line or maybe with just a little less cushion. I'm a 10.5 in every shoe that fits true to size, and I'd say these feel just ever so slightly larger but not large enough to get a half size down. I can't comment on how they skate yet, but just wanted to add to the hype and say these are some cool ass shoes, feels good to have something different than the usual options. Shalom

Had my first session on the Canvas highs. First impressions in no particular order:
~canvas durability seems promising. Didn't immediately disintegrate like canvas all stars do
~grip and flick are both prime. Kick flips were feelin as nice as they can on new shoes and I actually ate shit on a wallride because my foot slipped off and the foxing stuck me to the wall.
~support is not there. I usually skate CTAS and these had roughly the same amount.
~upside of the above is that board feel is perfect.
Reaffirming pretty much what everyone else has said: they're great shoes as long as you're skating low impact.
I'll update on the canvas durability if there's anything remarkable.

I ended up prying out the stock insoles with a kitchen knife and they came out pretty easily. Swapped them for some new Vans popcush insoles from a pair of Vans I never skated. They fit perfectly fine and now these shoes are the shit. Only little annoyances are the peeling foxing tape like sunburned skin, and my left shoe's tongue slides to the side like crazy. Overall pretty stoked on them though!

Do your shoes get that squeaky sound when you walk? I don’t mind it while skating but it’s annoying

Do you use things on the tongue to stop them slipping inside the shoe? I do it with all of mine and haven't had a problem with the tongue slipping, and if you don't like how it looks there is a way to do it without it showing.

This is how the skateshop I bought them from had them laced. Can confirm that it works to hold the tongue in place. I meant to relace them because I thought they missed a lace but I was lazy and never did. Guess they were onto something all along…
-
So I finally got a pair and skated them for about 2 hours yesterday, let’s just say my legs/feet are killing me, I legit just scraped the soles off and had to put vans insoles in them..idk they look appealing but I think Pontus needs to just find a better mold for these shoes..

I mean just like any canvas shoe they're going to wear faster than the suede version, but i think the high foxing really helps keep the shoe from getting holes too quickly, i got the high tops so comparing them to the andrew allen highs and the ctas pros that I've had before I would definitely say the canvas is more durable than those.

So weird that's happening to you, how tight do you do your shoes up? If you have them quite loose then thats the only thing i can think of as to why it doesn't work for you, I've not had a problem with the tongue slipping on any of the pairs I've had at all.

glue the tongue in place.
unlace top holes. put a dot of crazy glue between the top two lace holes that you use, on the side that it slides away from (inside for me). re-lace top holes.
do this while you have them on so the tongue is just where you want it. you can still tighten and loosen because tongue will only be "pinned" on one side.

So far I've only managed to break a lace. Kick flips are basically the only trick I do, so I expected the flick area to be decimated, but there's virtually no wear on them aside from some fuzzy stitches. The only minor annoyance is that they're doing the converse thing where the rubber opens up a little bit by the ball of your foot when you crouch. Otherwise, no issues at all.
Highly impressed with these and I expect to get another pair when the tread wears out.

glue the tongue in place, replace the insole, replace the laces, shoe goo the sides, microwave them, step in dog poop, throw them away, and buy some maranas, they would be more your pace

the sole is starting to go bald under the ball of my front foot, but holding on pretty well everywhere else. When these get cycled out, it's definitely going to be because of the sole wearing out instead of the upper.

I wear 12/12.5 Instant Gamechangers in size 13 Suede His. I think they're 5mm? Very comfortable. TBH the shoes were too big without them. I've got a wide, flat foot and like some space in the front, but the FPs also fill some vertical space that the stock insoles didn't
FPs are made to be cropped, though. So you could go TTS and cut them to fit if it's an issue

My canvas ones took a long while to stretch out, but they did eventually. I imagine the suede ones would stretch faster since they don't have the rubber backing.

Skated my lows today, and damn they felt good on transition! The insole is so, so thin though and my feet were really cryin' put for help after a few hours of skating low impact stuff.
When I got home, I just threw some NB Tiago insoles (both shoes size 9 and tend to run large) right on top of the LR ones and loosened the laces up just a bit. The shoes now fit snug on me but not too tight, and feel a lot more supportive. I'm really used to that feeling of a substantial insole, and I can't wait to give em another whirl with the new setup.

Ok, thanks for info. I have the canvas ones. I wore them with thin woolly socks on feet for a bit and they feel just a little bit roomier which is nice.

If only they made a slip on - would be such a dope shoe. No need for laces...

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

It has been stated few times they do. I have no experience myself since I have yet to skate my shoes but I read from others in this thread they wear out pretty quick.
-
how are the soles on these? do they wear out fast
On the two pairs I skated the soles (particularly under the ball of your foot) seem to be the part of the shoe that wears down the fastest. The sole didn’t bother me too much though jumping down smaller stuff repeatedly and I think if you replaced the insole (which is pretty thin) it would make up for the wear and not be much of an issue. I don’t think the sole necessarily wears out faster than other thin vulc shoes I’ve skated in the past and the rubber/suede exterior is actually surprisingly durable and kind of makes up for it.

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.

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.

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
-
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

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.
-
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.

"Drop 5:
The latest addition to the LR family comes with the VM003-Canvas. A lightweight Canvas model with canvas upper, canvas lining, metal eyelets and rubber reinforcements."
From the pictures I've seen on pontus' story and the ones from the catalogue they've got an almost blazer like upper but with what looks like a nicer toebox in my opinion, I love how their canvas shoes skate so these ones are a winner in my books.

It`s cool you can decide if you want to lace them from the first holes or begin with the second ones

If they ever do a slip on I'm sold. I just know I'd ruin the laces so fast otherwise

Turning 43 soon so don’t know if I can do vulcs outside of a little cruise out in the driveway, but if they ever do a cupsole I’ll gladly give them lots of $$$.
Took my canvas lows out on Sunday actually for a massive skate and while they rule, my body was fucking dying the next day … oh and I’m not hard on shoes but the soles bald quite quickly!

It's a different toebox on the VM003 compared to the 01 if you look at the picture you can see its similar to the blazer/stan smith style construction wheras the 01 is a pointier toe

Any word on how the hi’s compare to CTAS hi’s?Tried searching but didn’t come across anything.
I didn't skate either, but recently tried both out at my local for fit.
The CTAS Hi was .5 to maybe 1 size too big at my typical size. I really liked how comfortable the insole was, and it fit my wide feet really well. I knew how low the bottom eyelets were was going to shred my laces though.
The LRAB Hi had a little bit of heel slip, maybe I could have gone a .5 size down to make up for it but I have shitty wide feet so my toes would have been crushed. The glued-in insole didn't feel as horrible as I thought it might, and was pretty comfortable for walking around.
So as far as fit is concerned, the CTAS hi at .5 size smaller than my typical size fit my feet slightly better than the LRAB hi at my usual size. Heel slip bothered me from walking around, but both were comfortable and felt like they would skate well.
Obviously, I have no insight into how the flick or impact protection was for me, so take all of the above with a grain of salt. The LRAB's felt like they would be more durable; the CTAS felt much thinner.
So there's that for what it's worth.

I would love to try some and support Pontvs but as it was already said by many I'm kinda "scared" about vulcs. Also I've seen that many people ties them super tight which is also a thumbs down for me.

If you can get down to a shop that has them try on the vm002 it's definitely the one i prefer skating in, the high foxing looks a bit funky on the shelf but on foot you don't notice it and because of its height you save hitting the upper on the shoe too quickly. There isn't much 'support' in either models, if thats what you are worried about get an aftermarket insole and stick it in there, I love what he has made with these shoes and I really don't see myself skating anything else now.

I'm a cup guy too, but recently I skated the vm001's and loved them. What I did was throw some cons insoles in over top of the stock ones. This wouldn't work if I went a half size down, and if you do (which many recommend), you should carefully remove the glued in insole and replace it. To me, that much boardfeel isnt worth it without any kind of support.
Running the shoes with two insoles did feel funny at first, but as the shoes broke in I could still reap the benefits of the boardfeel these have to offer.
Also, I still haven't gone through the sole yet and I've put these through the ringer... cross country road trip with a lil hiking and a solid month of skating, and though the area under my big toe is worn down smooth on both shoes, the grip remains.
-
I’m a cup guy, ripped the insole out (just get your fingers under there, the rest is easy) and stuck a state insole in there, tts works like a charm! If you’re old though, probably wouldn’t recommend for hardcore session. Fun/ low impact cruise at your local and you’ll be having a blast!!!
-
Damn guys, apparently you got me.

Great shoes, I bought the canvas lo’s. I’ve finally wore a hole threw the sole. I wish they’d make a version with a slightly wider toe box, but perhaps that’s being overly picky. I love the board feel and how they feel instantly broken in.

is general consensus to go 1/2 size down in the suedes but stay tts for canvas? i had suede highs in half size down and loved them and want to try some canvas highs now

Went to my local to try them, wow they do run big,
It’s pretty odd. Otherwise they’re really comfortable and look great, every skater in the shop were saying they’re awesome and I almost pulled the trigger on a pair myself but I already have to chew through 3 pairs lol. Pontus delivers again, apparently he also gave shops carrying his brand (where I live anyway) very good deals so that’s awesome.

1 month update on my canvas highs

So far I've only managed to break a lace. Kick flips are basically the only trick I do, so I expected the flick area to be decimated, but there's virtually no wear on them aside from some fuzzy stitches. The only minor annoyance is that they're doing the converse thing where the rubber opens up a little bit by the ball of your foot when you crouch. Otherwise, no issues at all.
Highly impressed with these and I expect to get another pair when the tread wears out.
Did you go tts on these or 1/2 size down?
-

I’ve skated a few pairs of the suede lows so far that I went half a size down on for all and for me they’re comfortable without being too snug. I have one pair of canvas lows half a size down that I didn’t skate yet and they feel a little too snug. I’d probably go true to size on the canvas lows (just reread you’re asking about the highs my bad).

Got a pair in the mail today and they run HUGE. I’m a true US12 and I easily could go a full size down. Have to send them back. Even with an thick extra inner sole they are too big. If I kept them I’d have to lace them so tight and I can’t do that to the poor shoe.
Apart from that, they look and feel really good quality. Nice looking shoe on foot.

About one month of skating a pair of canvas lows. Broke a hole on the side of my front foot in two weeks but only the canvas layer has a hole because there's rubber layer under it. Put there some shoe goo and these will last me long. The sole is almost bald under the ball of my first toe but hasn't bothered at all, grip is perfect. Favorite shoes so far.

I’m running VM001 in black suede lows.
I got them in US10.5. I’m usually US11 in Nike, Vans, Emerica.
I have super slim feet. I tried the VM001 in US11 and I could have done it, wasn’t too much longer but felt I would have to lace up way too tight. The 10.5 is snug but I would say there is just enough toe room. Does really feel like they are a true 10.75 in size if that was a thing.

get your finger under there (not all parts are glued down) and then just be gentle. On my left shoe I left a tiny bit of residue but on the right, I was able to do it perfectly.
What insoles are you going with? I went with states and the fit is great, my feet still kinda hurt after a long session though …
Edit: the common assumption is they run a quarter size too big but once I changed out the insole, I actually think they run tts, at least for my feet!
Also, if LARB did a simple cupsole I’d be so down!!!

Anybody got screenshots or other images of those black leather VM001's they previewed on their story a few weeks back? Wanted another look...

LRAB have been my absolute favorite shoes so far. My only gripe is that leather piece on the insoles heel because the edge presses my sole. I've had to replace those insoles everytime.
-
I dont understand how anyone other than vert skaters could ride these shoes. They are just too thin for my ankles and knees to handle. I dig the message, and use of quality materials, i just can't get down with the product. hopefully they release a simple high/midtop cup at somepoint. If LARB had a dunk/J1 replacement i would be in heaven. (with more traditional sizing/fit than their vulcs)
-
Vulcs and cupsoles use completely different manufacturing processes and equipment. I would be shocked if they release a cupsole any time soon.
I skate street, mostly flat, curbs, and ledges so no big drops, and I love these shoes. But before this CTAS high were my favorite so maybe I just like skating in floppy slippers.
-
If they do drop some cupsoles, I’ll happily support them and them only for the foreseeable future…
Having said that, epic shit has been done on multiple terrain in vans old skools (the non pro ones) so these shouldn’t be any different if you’re not old (like me).

Yep, I skate ledges, curbs, and transition only. No drops out in the streets above waist high since my knees can't handle them regardless of what's on my feet. I just throw a nice insole in them and they suit my needs just fine. The flick is unbeatable and boardfeel is up there with the best.
@smoothbrain thanks for the link, I can't wait to buy a pair of these when they drop.
-
I kept my insoles in, but I also put some of those really thin shitty Es' insoles on top and they feel great! I'm definitely going to keep running them like this.
-
For everyone doubting these, I’d suggest giving them a try for yourself. They’re pretty easy to find on sale. I skated my first pair with a broken toe, and they offered plenty of support for me. Didn’t feel the toe pain anymore, and felt broken In from the first session. Lasted about a month and a half. The feel like a much higher quality, luxury Vans. Well worth the money imo.

I agree, they do feel like a much more premium Vans shoe. They do also give me Cons Ctas pro feels too, but with much less blowout.

just grabbed these in an 11, too cheap to pass up https://laborskateshop.com/collections/cyber-shoes/products/vm001-canvas-low-true-blue-white?variant=39399866531942
ive really only skated in adidas sz 11 for the past few years so fingers crossed they fit

they fit tts for me, might need to swap out the insole depending on your foot shape/ size though.

same here, I've been skating mine for almost 2 months and they work perfectly even if they are pretty much done.
Gonna try the canvas next.

I'm guessing theres shipping problems, the 5th drop was meant to be a while back so I reckon they will put 5/6 together in late December / early January I've snagged myself like 4 pairs for cost, both my canvas highs are on their way out but the vm002 is still going strong I love that model so much can't imagine skating another brand now.

just got a message from a local Japanese shop who has a great relationship with them and he said the 5th drop will arrive either tomorrow or on Friday. Japan gets them quicker than the rest of the world if we go from previous schedules though …

*Don’t feel like reading the entire thread
Has there been any mention of a cupsole?

Nope, not likely. I can recommend some footprint gamechangers insoles if you want to try them and feel like they need some extra Cush.
My knees feels so good since i got them, cant believe how much of a diffrence it made. At 50€ its a bargin compared to reg custom insoles which is like 100-200€

been wearing these for about a month now, i was suprised when i first tried them on that my foot fit comfortably in them because ive generally struggled to find shoes that fit my wide feet. with the stock insoles and breaking them in, they fit great. my gripe with them is that there is no insole ive found that fits in them without decimating the toe space and making them super uncomfy. i took the stock ones out and tried lots of different ones but just not gonna happen.
Because of how thin the sole is, ive already started to wear out the ball of my foot which is quick even for me, someone who only has to get rid of shoes because i wear the ball out.
I wish that for 85 bucks they lasted at least two months without getting uncomfortable, especially because I had a pair of vans sports that looked very similar and lasted closer to 6 with being able to put an insole in. Love pontus and all the stuff he does but I do wish these were a bit bigger in the sole and wider, because i don't think it would affect the look or aesthetic of the shoe.

I just put my footprint gamechangers over the original insoles and they fit nicely. Didnt even have to cut the edges of the footprints.

I've ended up using their insole and even if it feels too thin, it's actually pretty sturdy (not a gap jumper tho)
and I've experienced the same problem with the ball of the foot, but I cannot rip a hole in them after almost 3 months.
My idea is that they are still new, so I don't have much comparison than with other brands, but if you let them be, they might actually work. Or at least you'd knew if they are garbage. Either way, just test them.

Are there any differences between the VM001 and the VM002?
I’m mainly concerned with width. I have wide feet. I could never wear Cons because they’re so narrow.
Is one wider than the other? Or is the only difference that extra panel on the toe on the VM002?
-
I want to like them, but I've tried in several pairs and they’re all loose in the heel for me.

I also have wide feet and they both have worked for me. I think the VM002 is slightly wider, maybe because of the shape of the toecap?

not sure if this is true only with the canvas ones, but they seem to conform to your foot and tighten up a bit from when you first put them on; almost the opposite of bagging out of that makes sense? You’ve gotta change the insole though, that made the biggest difference for me.

I'm aware it's a Last Resort thread but I have wide-ass feet too. Skate shoes brands haven't really adopted the whole wide toe box thing yet but I fit really well in the chunky cupsole skate shoes like OG Accels, Globe shoes, and DVS too. I'm sticking with them until I find a vulc with a proper toe box. Just my 2 cents, hope that helps.
Me and everyone's mother wanna see an LR cupsole. That would be dope but sadly nothing seems to be in the pipeline yet.

I find that all the chunky shoes fit me better as well. Thinking about trying out some Tiago 1010’s. I find a lot of the New Balance shoes actual are wider and fit better than most shoes. Also, I was told by a NB# rep, that Japan gets NB# in wider sizes. Not sure why they’re not everywhere, but if you wanted to try and dig around, you could probably find some if you’re willing to pay because I’m sure they’re expensive. Have no idea what models they make in wider sizes though.
I definitely would like to see a Last Resort Cupsole. I’m guessing it would be a very minimal cupsole, which would be perfect. Probably a couple years out before we see any, if ever though, unfortuantely.

I honestly doubt that that is true about Japan, as a whole they probably have skinnier feet than most people from the US and besides, NB# distribution is pretty bad here, or it at least it’s no where at the same level of brands like eS DC etc.

NB# 420 has a wide toe box and over heard samarrahia’s high top also has a lot of room. If you like wider vulcs, Emerica Owen high will also treat you well.

Paging @rothdigga to the LARB thread
So we don't make wider Numeric shoes for Japan. We did make some wider lasts for the All Coasts (casual non-skate) line in that region and still continue to make a 2E for the CT574 court shoe. I do believe at some point we/Numeric will bring out a 2E width in one of our skate shoe models to fulfill this need.
Also...working on a better dist gameplan in Japan so hopefully you will see some improved visibility of product in the near future for us.

I have wide feet but most people I see wear the vm001s have narrow feet. I feel like the shoe kinda form fits to whatever shape. The sole in the forefoot area can stretch out without feeling like the foot is spilling over but it can also cinch to a narrow silhouette.

Yeah, that’s what I notice about people who wear Last Resort, that they have more narrow feet.
My foot is really wide toward my toes. That’s usually what the deal breaker is for most shoes. Damn bunion on my push foot!

Have you tried vans rowans? If you like vulc it has been a good option for me. Takes a bit more breaking in tho due to the bulkiness of the bumper.

I have not. Not a big fan of the Rowan’s. Most Vans fit me. I exclusively skated Vans for years because they always work for me. I want to branch out and try other brands, but most shoes I like are too narrow. Hopefully Last Resorts work for me!

Had to finally give up my VM001 canvas lows, skated them almost four months , haha. The soles are almost flat bald and grip is getting minimal especially in dusty indoor parks. Loved those shoes though and only paid half the price.

I rarely skate canvas shoes but these got my attention when I read peoples feedback. I mostly skated curbs, miniramp and little bit of flat but less flip tricks because my knees and ankles cant take those for some reason. When these were about month and a half in, I put a little shoe goo patch on the outer side where my ollie/flip hole started to form. Still, there was that rubber layer under the canvas and I never broke through the shoe goo. Also, I never broke my laces in these.

Just one of the fun little quirks of Last Resorts. It happened on all three of the pairs I had. I think a few people on here have said the ones from the newer drops didn’t have the weird film on the outsole though.

My current pair does it, but my first, the all black highs didnt. It's kinda grody

I’ve had two pairs and neither did it. Chilling on a third and wonder if they will.

Thank you! Looks like a CTAS Pro without the rubber toe cap. I'd honestly love a more padded insole from them. They would be my only shoe if they came with something close to a vans popcush.

they're like a Cons CTAS x Vans Lampin hybrid

I got some 002s and can confidently say that I have a wide foot and I should have sized down half a size. I did not see the Weartested review until I had already ordered. Whoops. These are very Cons like. I would love to get a size 11.

I got some really wide feet, myself. What shoes do you usually skate that are wide enough for you? Trying to gauge if the 002’s are wide enough for me…

I normally skate in Adidas. Puigs, or Tyshawns. The Tyshawn low is actually very accommodating, whereas the mid feels smaller. The 002 has plenty of room.

ive got wide feet rhat are difficult to find comfy shoes for, usually rock nbs (306 and 913 have been most comfy) but also crocketts, and after breaking them in the 002s fit very well in half a size down.

Thanks! 913’s fit great, but the rest of the shoes you named, are too narrow for me, unfortunately. Gonna have to try them on in person to figure it out

That's interesting. I found that the 306s were too wide and tall in the midfoot (instep) and i had to concertina the upper to get it to hold down my foot. Was concerned that these might be similar.

VM003's need to be on my feet. Anyone know the release on those?

Thick socks maybe ?
How was the width in the midfoot? I need a shoe thats narrow like a blazer in the mid foot then spreads out for the toe box...a light bulb shape basically. How did you find the VM01 in comparison?
-
Would you recommend sizing down in suede 001s?

Can't say i know much about whether it fits like a light bulb sorry. I got the VM02 and VM01 true to size.
The VM02 are fine in my normal size and I'm skating them now and they feel good (maybe could have gone half size down but they'd be tight to start then).
VM01 highs i should have definitely gone half size down. I think my feet are semi wide and I've got too much room in the VM01 but that's my fault for not trying on first. Still comfy though and with thicker socks I'm fine.
Just to say I love both of my last resorts and will get more. They feel like a converse 70s shoe which I was skating before and they're solid and seem well put together.
I'm not jumping down 10 stairs or anything and have kept the original insoles in. The only thing is the suede seems to wear quicker than say vans but it also seems softer :-\
-
the 003's look much better in this photo. I feel like Pontus usually has them tied so tight which makes them look less appealing. I'd personally prefer a little padding on the heel collar tho. Oh well.

yeah was hoping they would have a slightly beefier collar like the one star pros, those are super thin like pf flyers

Cheers mate. Never tried a 70s converse but wasnt a fan of the CONS one star or louie lopez, found the toe box too narrow. Both LRAB shoes look great though.

I bought the VM002s in suede and got them in 10.5 on the basis that some people say size down. For context: most Vans don't fit my mutant paddle foot, but I'm an 11 in old skools and Sk8 His. Otherwise I'm an 10.5 in Adidas and NB#. Did I goof on sizing or should I be okay?

are they supposed to have a glue-like coating on the soles? i noticed this stuff was peeling off all over both shoes
(https://i.imgur.com/TGWvk8C.png)
Happened to all of my pairs that supposedly were from the first drops. Honestly, never cared about it or affected my skating.
I have a pair of vm002 from the last drop and only one of the shoes is doing this so it bothers me even more than if both had peelys. Also mine have a black outsole and it looks kinda gross with the glue peelys

Only ever owned the canvas ones, but tts with slightly thicker than normal socks is perfect fit for me. Width in the toe box is good too

This isn't a criticism but I think they look a bit like the shape of a 70's Converse minus the rubber top cap. Would be cool to see if Pontus does a suede version too.

General consensus is that the canvas ones are TTS, and the suede ones you go 1/2 a size down.

You’ll be fine! I believe I am also an 11 in Old Skools - it’s been a minute since I’ve had a pair, but I’m almost certain I am an 11 in them. Anyway, 10.5 LRAB vm001 and vm002 are perfect for me. I’ve had the vm001 in canvas lo and canvas hi, and just scooped two pairs of the vm002 suedes on sale, both 10.5, and fit perfectly. When I tried these shoes on in 11, it was obvious they were too big for me. In total, I’ve had two canvas his and one canvas lo (vm001), and two suede (vm002).
When I first heard to size down with these, it sounded super wrong, specific to me, because I can’t remember the last time I had shoes smaller than size 11. Half-size down is the way to go! Enjoy!
Also, for anyone wondering about the durability of the canvas shoes, if you just use some Shoe Goo, they last a long time (for canvas, at least). I’ve made my canvas LRABs last at least three to 3.5 months. I honestly could have gotten more out of them, but just scoop new pairs while local shops still have them in stock.

They’re rubber-backed! Someone asked this in the comments on their IG, and LRAB responded :)

This is a bit of ‘old news’ but I just got a pair of the 001 highs thanks to the sale gear thread, and damn these things are awesome! I’ve had a few pairs of the 001 lows and was never really a hightop guy which is why I held off on these for so long. I like that they’re not quite a full hightop, they seem just barely higher than a mid. Can’t wait for spring to really test them out.
-
So I've been reading the consensus is to go "true to size" on the canvas shoes? I own 2 pairs of the suede and had to go a half size down. Just want to make sure before the drop cometh.

dunno how to post screen shots but someone in the insta comments asked about the insoles and this was the response:
“we are happy with the ones we got but since
some of you have been not 100 % into
them we are atm testing options. We are
always working on improving the products as we go along and drop by drop get better and better”
hopefully it just becomes removable. i also think it’s cool how they are willing to change things from drop to drop. very cool to see.

according to comment replies on their latest drop 5 post, the US drop will not be for a few weeks. Kinda wack imo that there was no indication of that and the website indicates otherwise, but guess we in the US will have to wait a while longer.

lol at them not editing the placeholder page to have the right date. Reminds me of this trailer dealer that was being built in my hometown that had a banner that said they would be open a full year before they actually opened and never took it down

None of the usual US stores starting selling them today either so it makes sense that there was some sort of shipping/supply delay in the US. But wow, LRAB blew it not making that announcement.

This has probably been asked many times, but how do the suede 002s fit compared to old skools? I wear size 7,5 in Vans and 8 in Adidas, and my feet are pretty wide. Old skools fit my feet perfectly in size 7,5 so should I get the 002s in 7,5 or go up/down half a size?

Go down a half size. I wear 11.5 in Vans, but 11.5 on the 002's have my feet swimming a bit.

Looking like mid Feb release of Drop 5 for the US.

its kind of annoying how the vm001 mids (their best shoe imo) gets placed on the back burner in exchange for those heinous-looking bowling shoes and the vm002 aren't much better, both the vm001 lows and mids look incredible. wish pontus would focus on releasing better colorways for them instead of making another abomination of a silhouette. maybe give us a slip on, or vm001 with a toecap instead.

for sure, vm002 and 003 do nothing for me sadly. slip ons would be very welcome.

I second that.
I'm a 10 in Vans and DC's and went with a 9.5 in these and they fit perfectly.
If you want to be absolutely sure you can go to their website, they explain how to measure you’re foot and which size to get according to that. I did that and it confirmed what everyone was saying about going a half size down
-
Damn, the VM003 looks so fucking good. They finally did the holy combo of metal eyelets, white canvas and the red label. Looks like the next paycheck has €70 ear-marked already...
-
That slim collar is my only worry. I like the slightly padded collar in Vm001 lows.
-
I think these are perfect for what they are.
VM001 fill a space of an unbranded non-annoying low. The highs could be considered a replacement for Blazers for those of us who hate Nike as a company and will never buy them or even a Sk8 Hi without the branding.
VM002 are clearly an Old Skool copy with the Blazer sole. I like them. Proportionally I prefer them to Old Skools. Also, I don't need to worry if I'm spotted in public wearing the same shoes that a thousand teenage girls are wearing.
The VM003 are sick. Look like and old school 'tennis shoe' from the 50s; like PF Flyers or whatever. I think they're great. I'm curious to see how they hold up to skating, but CTAS were my favorite skate shoes before I began my personal boycott of Nike. I hope they will consider a high version and a leather version in the future.

So I half sized down in the vm002 lows and they fit perfectly. the only thing I wash there was is a little bit off padding to the tongue. I ripped out the tongues from a pair of old numerics and just put them in.
-
General consensus is that the canvas ones are TTS, and the suede ones you go 1/2 a size down.
Just received the canvas in cream. They fit like the suede ones. Took the same size (half size down compared to vans era/slip ons) and they fit perfectly
-
My boy in Japan just got his delivery!
I run them tts canvas maybe with slightly thicker socks… depends whether or not you swap out the insoles as well.
-
Got the VM003 today. They're sick, just a super basic sneaker which is exactly what I'm after. Definitely chillers, I don't think these would hold up to much skating honestly, but the style is really good, I like them a lot. Hoping still for a leather version or better yet, a high leather version which would both be better for skating.
Sizing seems ever so slightly smaller than the VM001 Highs and VM002 that I already have. If anything the toe area seems less tall in the VM003 than the other models but I definitely wouldn't size down in them or your toes might be cramped in there. But I also didn't size down on any of them, so take that with a grain of salt.
-
I just got a pair of the V003s too.
I’ve had chances to grab other LRs, but always found the heel up to be too loose.
I like the style on these enough to give them a chance, and they fit closer to TTS.
The heel cup is a touch snugger, and they are a great looking shoe, best I’ve seen in a long while, actually.
The all white is pure class, but I’d def get another pair if they start doing other colors, like forest green, slate blue, red.
-
I am skating a pair of the high VM001 in suede at the moment. Really enjoying them so far but the sizing frustrating.
I went half a size down (following the size chart on the LR site) and they feel good, but not so good on the toes after a few hours skating in them. Hoping they loosen up a bit, as I feel like TTS would be just a bit too big.
Trying them on in a shop is definitely the best bet.
-
I got the suede VM002 in 10.5 and they are extremely comfy with tons of room in the toebox for my weird ass foot. They also look pretty incredible, like a genuinely high quality shoe with a really great silhouette.
If I were to buy a pair to skate in (these were purchased as a chiller pair to see what the quality was like), I'd even go down to a 10 because I have so much room that the heel lock might start to get loose if they stretch too much. I'd say a 10.5 in these fits even more generously in the toes than a size 11 Sk8 Hi, which is pretty roomy for me. They're sick though, I can tell they'd last, and I'll probably keep my eyes out for sales to pick some up for skating.
-
maybe i should try them on foot. i thought the vm002 looked too stubby for me, and the vm003s would be strictly chillers and at first they looked kinda goofy.
seeing these worn/skated, both models look a lot better than in product pics tho.
-
Been skating the 001s and really love them so far, but the toe is a bit too pointy for me. Can make do... But is the 002 toe a little more round? Some of the pictures make it seem like it might be.

I would say so. Definitely after breaking in it gets rounder than the 001 toe. Hopefully that helps.
I actually find my 002s far better to skate in than the 001s. I only have the high 001s and they seem really solid, but maybe a little too stiff. That might be me though!
-
Theyre nice, some of the colourways are misses tho. The black part at the bottom of some of them looks a bit off to me. The new vm003 models are also kinda ugly imo. Still cool shoes tho, love to see a european skater owned company. Def buying one of them some time soon.

Also, did yall see the new softgoods they launched? The "when I eat, I eat concrete" shirt is epic.

Yeah I've got a few pairs of the 002s. They seem to hold up really well. Sole wears quickly on both those and the 001s, but very similar to Cons in that respect and that it still grips well even when it's worn down.
Here's the toe shape on my latest pair (not skated)

Been skating the 001s and really love them so far, but the toe is a bit too pointy for me. Can make do... But is the 002 toe a little more round? Some of the pictures make it seem like it might be.
I would say so. Definitely after breaking in it gets rounder than the 001 toe. Hopefully that helps.

Curious to hear how it sells at other shops compared to the Sole Tech brands. At our local, we sell 5 pairs of Last Resort for every Sole Tech shoe we sell. Can't keep them in quick enough. Also despite Emerica having 630K more followers, Last Resort gets more views, likes, and generel engagement on their Instagram posts.
I know Last Resort is working on a video too, but they are quickly leaving these other brands in the dust, within the first 2 years.

I can't offer any insight into the economics of it but Last Resort is definitely bodying the shit out of soletech right now. It seems to me like the sole tech brands are just struggling under the weight of the past, rathering than thriving on legacy. They have big teams of people who have ridden for them for years and that severely lack representation for women, with so many unwearable designs a season it's unbelievable. Every Last Resort shoe feels concise and tasteful, they feel nice to skate in, and I think if they put some strong women on their team they'll be really set.

I was pretty ready to just wear those 3-3-20 shoes for the rest of time. In my head it was on a campus like cupsole but maybe not. I'd still wear them as vulc tho
-
I do get the points about the lack of protection or beef to them, but it really depends on the skating I suppose. I'm skating park and curbs mainly.
I'm not jumping down huge gaps and they've been great for me so far, actually compared to a vans pro era for example they seem more solid and better for my feet (I may regret that in a few years but so far so good).
-
One day after release, I sold the 3 pairs of VM003 in less than an hour, but I think it was just coincidence.They are very attractive to non-skater tourists who come by the shop.
Had a pair of both canvas and suede VM001, the shoes are great but no breathability at all. Managed to rip the canvas one only doing wallies and pole jams.

anyone know if the laces that come with the V002 lows are the same ones that come with the highs? that seems to be the explanation i have been able to come up with to explain why the laces are so damn long. sized down .5, wouldn't say i tie them specificially tight, and the loops tuck safely into the non-crossed lace closest to the toe.

Will agree the soles wear quickly for sure. Blasted through a couple pairs of VM002s and have one pair, plus the high VM001s left.
The black leather pair though are looking a definite buy!

Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in cause I deliberated for a while on sizing etc. I am an 11.5 in Blazers and Vans, and 11 in CTAs, so I went with 11.5 in the canvas joints (VM001 Highs) from what I read here on them being a little more true-to-size. I found that to be somewhat true, but they're still too big to skate for me (I have a pretty narrow foot).
I grabbed a pair of VM001 Lows in suede in an 11 and they fit absolutely perfect. If I was going to skate the canvas I would definitely size down to 11 personally.
For the insole situation — they're definitely super thin in the forefoot and to me they felt kind of 'dead' with no rebound or response that you get from a Vans pop cush or even the thin insole in a Blazer or CTAs. I didn't hate it, but after primo'ing a few times I figured I'd try some other insoles out. I found it to be super easy to rip the stock ones out, only left a little bit of residue on the heel (see below). After trying a few diff options I had laying around (Vans popcush, superfeet, Blazers, and CTAs), I found the Cons CX insole to be a perfect match for the LRABs.
The insoles with a higher stack in the heel (Vans Popcush) kind of pushed my heel out of the shoe and caused it to slip, so the flat insole of the Cons CTAs fit the shoe much better. I had to trim the very tips of them a little bit as the Cons insole is a little pointier than the LRAB.
(https://i.ibb.co/rF3zB9P/LRAB-1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/rF3zB9P)(https://i.ibb.co/jVYRjVh/LRAB-2.jpg) (https://ibb.co/jVYRjVh)
Anyways, TLDR is in my experience size down .5 size for both canvas and suede, and replacing the insole was super easy but a flat insole works best (Cons).

Weird, I actually order from End quite often and have never had an issue with import taxes. Biggest problem with ordering from them is that you essentially can’t do any returns.

Skating some high tops now and they feel like skating in comfy boots

Does anybody have any info on how long the rubber-backed canvas lasts? I'm going to start skating my VM003s soon and I usually shoe-goo canvas shoes before skating, but if the rubber underlays hold up longer than the sole I'd rather just skate them as they are and let them get holey.
My last few suede pairs have lasted me around 65 hours of skating until my toe is hanging out the bottom and the suede has always held up fine, so if the canvas is even half as good I'm happy.

I have the VM001 canvas highs and I got an ollie hole in the canvas within my first hour of skating them, but so far it’s holding up ok. Normally I would shoe goo them but I didn’t know about the sizing differences and they aren’t nearly as comfortable as my suede pairs. I’m just skating them and not trying to make them last.

The Cheddars get compliments almost every time I wear them. They were the first pair I bought and I never ended up skating them because they look so good.

Tbh, I prefer the suede and probably won't buy another canvas pair (at least in the VM001). The suede is way more durable and the fit is better for my feet. The Canvas are nice but they look really similar to Converse and rip pretty quickly.

Canvas shoes are breathable and don’t tend to get baggy and lose their shape over time like suede does. If you can be bothered to shoe goo them they tend to be better, but I usually just get suede because it’s easier.

Bought two shoes from the latest drop and currently skating the old red Vm001 Lows:

After two sessions I have to say that performance-wise I prefer the hightops, but look-wise the lows suit me a lot better.
Also the low versions seem a bit looser on the foot. I have to wear thicker socks whenever I am skating the lows

The new drops are available in US on the website now. Just ordered some 002 navy/blue. boom.

I have some questione about the vm001 highs as ii would love to skate something skater owned which isnt a blazer mid. Which insole would be the best to put in instead of the stock insole? The zoom insole seems to be similar in shape. And would i loose ankle stability if i exchange the insoles?

I've run a set of nike Solarsoft(?) insoles (pulled from a pair of Nike Chron SLRs) and a pair of the new Vans Popcush insoles from the new Skate Vans, both are fine. Just getting something with a bit more cushion helps.

I run lows with footprint kingfoam elites. Little tight at first but great after few sessions

I’m pretty sure that leather is synthetic even on the suede ones. I always wear down the edge of it with my ollies and it has a sort of black rubbery texture to it under the surface.

Ive always replaced my stock snowboard boot insoles...but not my skate ones. Interesting. What do you guys recommend? I have mid-to-high arches and some shoes give me rub issues on the top of my foot, but not super bad.
I skate the Last Resort canvas exclusively. Vegan and all that.

For mid and high arch, i would recommend kingfoam elite highs.

So does anyone use the stock insole?
I have multiple pairs that I skate and I skate the stock insole in one of them. I don't skate anything bigger than a 3 stair so it doesn't affect me that much. I also have the stock insole in all of my daily wear LRABs and they're perfectly comfortable. I don't work on my feet all day but I move around a fair amount.

I don't skate anything big, just a lot of repetitive impact I'd worry about.

I swap mine out with standard FP Kingfoam insoles. The 30 dollar ones. They make the shoe fit so much better and can take some impact. With such a minimal shoe, I think you need a beefy insole to balance it out. THat's just me tho.

Just to update, still rocking the VM001 Canvas His, the canvas in the toe/ollie area is rubber backed so it has been holding up fairly well. I have had to shoe goo around the ollie hole but it's not terrible. However, already developing another hole on the ankle where I heelflip. Interested to see how the wear keeps developing.

As other people have said, Suede runs slightly big so half size down is usually right. Canvas is TTS.

Canvas also doesn’t bag out like suede does which is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you like your shoes to feel

Really want to like them. Got the VM001 low in leather. Looked sick. Wore them for one week, skated around in them every day and had two 1,5h sessions in them. Now they feel like used condoms, are basically blown out, don't feel safe or like a shoe anymore at all. I mean f*** Nike, but at least Blazers or Bruins will give you at least 4 weeks of skating.

Been wanting to try Last Resorts, but I'll gladly wait for the cupsole model/new insoles to drop. Can't wait to see what the CM001 looks like!

The soles aren’t only good at preventing pebbles from getting stuck, as Pontus noted in this recent interview when explaining the soles (super cool to read, by the way, that the development of the soles were so geographically-specific) - they’re great for stepping in dog shit. Best shoes I’ve ever stepped in dog shit with - so easy to clean! Like, the jawn I stepped in was a mountain, and it was so easy to clean. A+
Reached out to Jenkem to add Last Resort AB to their dog shit shoe stepping review, if they were to ever do another one, but they didn’t even read my message!
Anyway, these shoes are great for skating and I have had six pairs - three I’ve skated, and the other three I use for when I teach. I’ve skated two canvas and one suede, and both rule.
Dopest fucking shoes.
-
In all seriousness, though, these are the best shoes I’ve ever skated. The flick is unmatched, the grip is great, I’ve made my canvas shoes last months and I flip my board a lot/skate well throughout the week, the suede is wonderfully durable, and they are fly as fuck. Teaching teenagers in Philly is a good way to find out what’s wack and what’s not, and students are def into them. People in general are always curious about these shoes.

Could not agree more on the dog shit pedigree of these shoes. Unmatched!

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum from Philly teens, the little old ladies who work in the factory with me thought mine were very cute and they wanted to know where they could buy them.
I personally can't wait for the VM003 Hi (the local shop leaked a photo of them in brown and they look dope), and I'm very curious to see the cupsole, even if I've always preferred vulc shoes for skating since my first pair of Half Cabs at 10 years old.

I’m a sucker for metal eyelets and an even bigger sucker for anything really. Want these even though I blow through canvas in one sesh. Getting these would basically be me buying a $85 roll of duct tape.

I skated them today, I don’t think I’m gonna be doing it much in the future unless I can squeeze an FP insole in there. I might use them more for cycling. The canvas held up to a handful of kickflips and plenty of ollies, but I’m used to cupsoles, and these were kinda killin me today.

same here. besides a few pairs of Vans, my LRABs always get complimented. Sure they aren't for everyone, but I would argue they are pretty clean lookin

I think they look better than CTAS or JP. They're simple and don't have obnoxious branding. You can wear them with anything besides suits, and it'll probably look clean.

I definitely didn’t get them at first when they showed up at my local shop, but I’m fully wheezing the jui-ice now. And as other people have said, I get a ton of compliments, especially on the non-white/black ones I have. I totally get not loving the look though, they’re like a generic starting shoe in an off brand skate video game.

all I can say is they look better in person. they just look and feel a step above your average vulk construction.
just started my 3rd pair. i keep wearing through the bottom of the soles, but no where near getting any holes in the ollie areas. i'd say im getting about a month and half out of each pair before the soles get too bald
-
You think they have sold more pairs this year, than State have in their entire existence?
State had a moment in 2016, but failed to build on that, and now they are running on fumes.
Looking forward to trying these cupsoles.

there is beauty in simplicity. another thing i really like about these shoes is that besides other skaters, no one really has these shoes. I don't mean that in a dunk scarcity way, I just mean that you won't see a lot of people wearing them. it adds an air of mystery to them. in a world where logos on shoes reign supreme, it is a nice change of pace.

I wonder if it'll stay like that. I have 3 non-skater friends who've started wearing them after seeing mine. One of them even broke a 5-year streak of not wearing trainers to get a pair.

In Australia tonnes of non skaters where em. Basically a uni student normy shoe. I like em though. I feel like Pontus' plan is to slowly undermine Converse or something lol.

what does the "ab" stand for

I got 2 pairs of the V003 because I like the classic styling so much. A touch of Airwalk ones/Cons, but cleaner.
I also found they fit me better than the V001s I tried as well.

Did you go TTS on the VM003s?
I’ve skated a few pairs of the VM001s and like them a lot but the sizing always still being slightly off when I go down a half size kind of annoyed me.

Do these stay true to form over time or bag/thin out? They feel comfy when trying on but very thin. I could do it if they stay this way but not if they really change.

Any insider info on the shoe Pontus is wearing in the April issue of Thrasher? Theres a photo of him (page 61) doing a pole jam on a yellow pole. Looks like the VM003 but with a double layered heel and top eyelet flap?

Are the canvas shoes different every drop? Like what's the difference between a VM002 and a VM003? The whole time I thought they were the same?

VM003
As far as I know, there was never a canvas VM002, only suede. Opposite for VM003, so far it's only Canvas, no suede.
The only model that I've seen available in both Canvas and Suede is the VM001.

In my experience the suede ones do bag out after a while, they only get comfier though.
The canvas ones do not have this issue.

What are you guys replacing the insoles with? I bought a pair nearly a year ago but the stock insole started to break apart so I ripped them out then gave up on the shoes.
I recently tried some Vans insoles in em, but it makes them feel quite high and unstable.

I swapped in a solarsoft insole from an old pair of nikes in one of my pairs and they fit reasonably well.

I've been using the Vans insoles that come in the "surf" line of shoes. They are slightly thinner than ultra- or pop-cush and have a softer density. For me, they fit the Last Resorts perfectly.

Cons cx insoles (not the zoom ones) are perfect for me. Took a couple sets from my old louies and CTAS pros and they've been great.
I rode the stock ones without any issues, but since changing I've really noticed the difference

I couldn't skate them with Vans insoles either for the same reason. I got some Footprint Kingfoam 5mm for them and they work well for me, although I don't really have a problem with the stock insole either. I'm pretty sure almost all of the cushioning in Last Resorts actually comes from the square pattern on the inside of the outsole, kind of like how a Vans Berle is supposed to work, and the insole is only in there so you're not standing directly on the footbed, so any insole that's not really low profile feels too tall.

State insoles

I just realized yesterday that two pairs of shoes have lasted me a little over a year by now. Pretty sick.
I run a extra fp gamechanger over the original insoles, do you guys still go half a size down with double insoles?
Noticed my TTS had little space at the toes which is normal for ordinary shoes but idk if you want that for shredding the gnar..
-
pontus has posted those comfycush (?) insoles on his story/LRAB's story a couple times and I really hope those come sooner than later because they didn't look like demos. My first pair are completely thrashed but I don't have any insoles that fit inside the shoes with enough space so i'm trying to hold out, but might have to cave on another pair in the meantime.

I wear 12s and I think the hi's look great, not clownish at all (as opposed to my 11.5 CTAS hi which I do think look goofy). The LRABs are well-proportioned.

I wear a size 12 in suedes and 13 in canvas and to me they look way better than some other shoes. I think because the design keeps the toe relatively short, they don't end up looking like clown shoes. The white VM002s I'm wearing with dress pants in the photos so the pants are a little floody.

BART HARLEY!! Hey, are you normally a 12 or 13 in other shoe brands? I’m like a 12.5 and like a slightly wider toe box so I wear 13s. Just not sure which direction to go in based on the general discussion about the fit on these.

I wear a 13 in vans and Nike, and the size 12 suedes are perfect for me. I would say if you’re getting suedes go for size 12, if you’re getting canvas go for a 13. I have high arches and also like a wider toe box. The only model I haven’t tried yet are the VM003s so I can’t speak to how they fit.

Update on my VM001 canvas his: The VM001 suede los are probably my favorite shoe of the past couple of years. My expectations were not high for the canvas, but I figured I'd skate them and get them out of the way. I've been super pleasantly surprised with how they skate and how long they've lasted. Super durable, I've just had to apply shoe goo to my main ollie hole but otherwise I've been running them a couple of months no problem. The biggest issue I've had (as other LAB riders now) is the sole wearing. One of my locals is super slippery and I feel like I can barely push sometimes because the sole has no grip anymore. I think after these I'll try to get my hands on a pair of the VM003s.
If anyone's considering them, I'd say go for it you won't be disappointed.

I’m on my third pair of VM001 Hi’s and the sole definitely wears on the quicker side but honestly I haven’t noticed much of a difference in the actual grip even as the sole starts to smooth over. By the time it begins to feels slippery other aspects of the shoe have already started to deteriorate as well. Basically it looks way worse than it feels in my experience. Best kicks.

This picture inspired me to finally buy the true blue canvas high ones. Skated a few pairs of the lows but I’ve never had the highs. They look so good.

Update on my VM001 canvas his: The VM001 suede los are probably my favorite shoe of the past couple of years. My expectations were not high for the canvas, but I figured I'd skate them and get them out of the way. I've been super pleasantly surprised with how they skate and how long they've lasted. Super durable, I've just had to apply shoe goo to my main ollie hole but otherwise I've been running them a couple of months no problem. The biggest issue I've had (as other LAB riders now) is the sole wearing. One of my locals is super slippery and I feel like I can barely push sometimes because the sole has no grip anymore. I think after these I'll try to get my hands on a pair of the VM003s.

Hell yeah. They just skate so good. And I get crazy compliments on them.

I’m on my third pair of VM001 Hi’s and the sole definitely wears on the quicker side but honestly I haven’t noticed much of a difference in the actual grip even as the sole starts to smooth over. By the time it begins to feels slippery other aspects of the shoe have already started to deteriorate as well. Basically it looks way worse than it feels in my experience. Best kicks.
Same here. I skate mine until I get a hole under my toe and even then they still have enough grip for me. My last pair of VM001s lasted 65 hours of skating.

Same. Ideally it wouldn't wear down as fast but the grip is still there after it wears down. I've noticed that once the main tread wears away, there is a zig zag pattern that reveals itself under the big toe area, and that gives it more grip.

Has anyone whose skated the VM003 had a problem with the collar rubbing the back of their ankle? Since the VM003 doesn't have like padded collar like the 001 or 002, I wonder if anyones had an issue. I assume it's not any worse than vans authentics but I know if I don't have a pair for a while or if I push in them for too long I get irritation.
Also, any notes on the sizing? Vm003 same sizing as the VM001 canvas?

Mine rubbed a tiny bit the first time I wore them but by the time I actually got around to skating them they were absolutely fine. I love the slimness of them and I think they're my favourite LRAB shoe so far. I want to give the canvas highs a go next because they're unpadded too.
Edit: They fit me much better than the suede VM001 & 2, but they're my first canvas pair so I can't comment on how they're different from the canvas VM001. The lack of padding means the heel fits really snug and the different toe box allows you to tighten them more than the VM001 & 2.

Awesome, thanks. I found a pair on sale in my usual size so i pulled the trigger. I'm about done with my VM001 his, you should definitely grab a pair.

i’d recommend half size down personally. i have the suede highs suede lows and canvas lows all in the same size (10) and they fit perfect. i’m 10.5 tts :)

Any suede, size down to 12. Canvas is a little tougher, but I would say go 13 unless you like shoes to feel really fitted/snug.

LRAB VM003s just showed up yesterday, they actually feel great. Going to wear them for a bit but looking forward to skating them in a couple of weeks.
Cross post from the Shoe thread. So excited for these guys. Sizing is actually closer to the Suede VM001/VM002s I think, so I would recommend a half size down for people interested in them. They're definitely wider than my Canvas VM001s and the toe box is nice and roomy.

went and tried both the vm001 hi + vm002
half a size down = perfect for both but the 002s won
they seamlessly fit with my pants/style. will snag more colors
loved old skools in hs but id be embarrassed to rock vans today
these remind me of an old college flame

I went to the shop, tried on canvas hi VM001s in a 1/2 size down, they were too tight, bought canvas VM003 lo’s in tts, too loose (but I really dig them).
I haven’t tried the VM002s, yet.
I think I’m half size down in suede, and the VM003s.
All that to say, super dope shoes. Will be getting more. Ended up on a surprise 10 mile walk the other day and feet felt great.

Ive been looking at those KSL g6's too! my baby ass ankles are scared to skate low tops though, but they look like they have alot of collar padding and would secure my ankle pretty well, im considering it.

Pontus posted the front half of a white suede looking cup sole on his story a while back and quickly deleted.
Best way to describe was like Crockett high style toe piece on a low

Ollied a hole through the suede. Sole is also super worn down to the wavy part. That being said, I hate to retire them because there's still a lot of meat on the bone. May try to line the inside under the hole and do a shoe goo patch job.

Anyone got to skate the leather upper VM001’s? Black or Regular white sole? I’m wondering how thick that leather upper is. It’s the only color way that’s priced @ $100. At least for my local that carry’s it.

some dork on depop sold me a half size too small (his post stated 9.5 - i received a 9) and I'm not thrilled to even go through the hassle of trying to get this corrected
is anyone here (U.S.) wanting to try a pair of LRAB V001 dark/olive green suede size 9 for $55 shipped?
they're pretty mint, no signs of skating and the sole is 100%

Me too. I haven’t been paying much attention to LRAB but noticed the Weartested review of the VM003 and loved how they looked all dirty. I’ve tested the suede VM002 and the canvas VM001 Hi in my size and half size down and the half size down in both felt much better. Based on everything I’ve read here I should be ok with half size down on the VM003s also? Sadly none of my locals have the VM003 so I’d have to order online.

You can go same size in VM003s. I would say they fit most similarly to the VM001 Suede/VM002. They're definitely a bit wider than the VM001 canvas, those were a little tight for me.

does LRAB make shoes in 12.5? I usually rock US13, got a pair of the first run of canvas vm001s and was kinda swimming in the 13s. i back pontus and these shoes, and the vegan shoe thread has me wanting to try another pair. people say canvas LRABs are TTS but that wasn’t my exp with my first pair.
any advice from big foot LRAB enjoyers?
edit: ive searched around and only see 12s and 13s. was wondering if it was just a small run of that size or if they just dont make it

I've never seen a 12.5. I wear 13 in both Vans and Nike but LRAB 12 is perfect for me. The only shoes that were a little snug were the VM001 Canvas but they broke in after a bit. I've worn VM001 Suede, VM002 suede and I just bought the VM003 canvas size 12 and they're perfect, no break in time at all. Haven't skated the VM003 yet but I will at some point.

No problem. If the VM001 Canvas 13 were too big, a VM003 12 should be good. To be safe, try on a 12 in any of the leather/suede models and that sizing will be comparable to VM003.

have a question for anyone who has had the chance to skate vm01 with wide feet:
shoes seem great except that my fat foot hangs over the outside of the soles on either side a bit. worried about ankle rolls/instability as a result. any experience? do i have ankle anxiety or is there something there?

I have really short and wide feet and I feel you on the over-hang. But mostly on the vm02 where I felt that the sides had less support than the vm01.
And If you usually skate vulc, you will appreciate that it stay supportive and the over-hang doesn't increase unlike the classic vans or emerica I used to skate before.
I'm on my 5th pair now and it might be my favorite shoes to skate ever, big part for that reason

general consensus is vm002's fit half a size down, and that was true for my first pair. however, i ran through them in about three months which doesn't work for me mainly walking everywhere (they are my chillers). has anyone tried getting a true to size (which is really half a size up) and putting an insole in them? I wear the remind medics and these absolutely crushed my feet with those put in (without the originial insole). i not sure if going half a size up would give my foot more room on the height.

The local shop posted a photo of them to their insta but it was taken down almost immediately. I imagine nobody is allowed to post pics from the catalogue until they're released.
They were brown with a white sole if I remember correctly. I'm not sure it they were suede or canvas. Don't know what other colors are coming. They looked dope, I will def get a pair.

Thats how all the LR models are. Canvas versions have no padding and suede ones do.

I’ve never had insoles before, but if I cop some FP’s, can I just slip those bitches right in or do I have to do some surgery on the LRAB’s?

Thats how all the LR models are. Canvas versions have no padding and suede ones do.
I just popped some fp insoles in mine and they become my favorite skate shoes.
I just got some VM001 canvas lows and they have padding around the ankle. The VM001 canvas highs I have do not.
Oh, that's good to know. I only skate high tops so I haven't paid attention to the lows.

Can't speak for FPs but i've swapped in Nike Lunar insoles and Vans Popcush insoles no issue.

Fp makes a pu insole that’s pretty good , but if you go with the “Gamechangers” they are going to take up a lot of room in your shoe. Personally I’ve never had a pair of vulcs that they fit well in.
-
I imagine State Footwear's removable insole or Etnies' STI insoles would fit nicely in LRAB vulcs without raising your foot too much
-
Lakai’s vulc insole is the perfect fit although I can get gamechangers in mine too!
-
Can anyone measure the height of the stock insole in the heel and ball of the foot?
-
Look at those yellow suede vm003 :-*

Back for my weekly cupsole letdown. Though I must say, coming here regularly has made me want to get a pair of lows just to wear around. those dark green ones are right up my alley.

@IpathCats I have a pair of 001s and a pair of 002's I don't skate but just wear on the daily and I love em. I pretty much switch between those two and a pair of vans authentics
I will probably end up skating both pairs of LRAB in a few months when I burn through my current skate shoe quiver

how would you compare the fit of them both? which ones fit wider in the toes? looking at these my biggest concern is them being too narrow. the 1s look a bit wider than the 2s.

You're pretty much right, the VM001 suedes will have the most room in the toe box. Not the Canvas. Although I think the VM003s actually are the roomiest LRABs I've owned so far
-
I have been skating vm001 suede hi’s for a year and just got a pair of vm001 canvas lo’s to walk in and they are definitely tighter in the toe box; hopefully they loosen up.

Yep! You can only see the front half so it doesn’t reveal much more than the photo we already have, but at least we know people are skating them. It’s a nice white colourway with a black sole and laces.

i agree. That extra flap doesn't really add that much for me. VM003 is such a great silhouette, adding to it doesn't really make it better.

I really really really suggest trying them on in person at your local if possible. It’s gonna be hard to find a good return policy for a skate shop since there is going to be some money lost there for the retailer.
Your best bet will either be skate warehouse or tactics. Skate warehouse includes a return shipping label so that would be the most lenient. The next would be tactics. They don’t offer a return label if i remember right. Or if they do they deduct the cost from the return price. They do however give you a free shipping coupon for your next order of the same product, just have to email them. Hope this helps!
edit never mind they only do instore sales on skate warehouse and tactics

Place your foot on a paper with your heel against a wall, draw a line at the tip of your foot and measure in CM.
Compare your foot length with the chart below. We recommend you to choose a size corresponding to a size longer than your actual foot measurement. Approximately +5mm.
It seems that Pontus wants people to go TTS/size up. I go a half size up and swap the shorter insoles for footprints. I have wide feet and they fit great. Warning: I seem to be the only person on earth who does this.
Consensus, however, is the opposite of the official sizing: half size down, like Converse. On Slap, shop websites, Gifted Hater's reviews... In the new clip it seems that's what a lot of riders are doing - tied short and stubby like little footballs
-
I’ve been wearing size 10 last resorts. they are nice for wide feet and fit great with fp insoles. I will say that i thought i was a size 10 in vans, but after putting on a pair of vans my feet felt too wide for them. Now it makes me wonder if i’m actually a size 10.5 in other shoes

- since i'd like to swap stock LRAB insole with a popcush one, what would be your recommendation size wise?
I'm thinking about getting the LRAB high tops in suede (just in case sizing is different depending on the model)

A 9 should be safe. Generally, Suede models are half size down, canvas models mostly run TTS. Especially if you’re going to use the popcush which is fairly high volume, you should be fine with a 9.

Today I got my first two(!) pairs of Last Resorts. VM001 lows and VM003 in canvas.
I ordered both online and went half size down as suggested and as I figured based on testing the canvas VM001 highs earlier on in a shop. Both fit pretty much the same for me: very good.
I’m a size 10.5 in literally everything else I buy (no corpo shoes except Vans) and got size 10 on the LRABs.
So far only had a small cruise to buy a beer on the VM003s and worn them both inside just hanging out and they feel very nice. Time will tell how I like them skating.

Another look at the cupsoles...
Side note: from the pairs that he has worn in the photo, it seems like pontus has pretty wide feet himself. Funny that his company seem to make shoes geared towards skinnier footprints.

Those black ones in the back right look really nice.
-
the left bottom look like non slip work shoes

I think this is why the company's official size guide is the opposite of one most people tell you

Bought another pair of suede vm002 but ended up being out of stock.
Got a refund and bought the leather 001s instead. Worked out pretty decent! I went tts and they fit slightly tighter than the suede ones but not as tts as the canvas (if that helps anyone).

Grabbed my first pair of LRAB to try finally.
I got the canvas VM003 Dancer collabs.
Had to go a half size down for perfect fit.
Initial thoughts are that they are inferior to the
Cons CTAS Pro in almost every way; less padding,
less cushion, less reinforcement, thinner canvas,
and weaker construction. The laces are better than Cons
but certainly nothing to justify the higher price.

I've had both and I'd have to disagree on some aspects. Cons felt good at the beginning and blow up into giant bags once worn in. LR keeps its shape and the sole remains grippy and doesn't get floppy. Cons does have the superior insole tho.
For what its worth, the vm003 in canvas is supposed to be their most unstructured, minimal shoe. That being said, the sole should still have the same properties. I have the regular vm003 in canvas for chilling but have skated the vm001 suede in high and low.
Edit: you are probably referring to the ctas pro low in canvas, which I do not have any experience with. In that case, I can see that it is the superior model to vm003 canvas.

Funnily enough I'm actually on my second pair of the CTAS Pro Mids.
From conversations at the skate shop alone when I was buying them I realize
the mid profile is somewhat controversial or disliked haha
But they are definitely the most durable, padded and cushioned Chucks I've ever had.
Like fully reinforced with a puffy faux suede all along the inside and tongue.
I still really like how the Dancer LRABs look. I might just reserve them to wear on non-skate occasions.
-
borrowed a pair from a friend today, never skate lows normally but dang I might actually skate in lows after that session, great shoes. It’s also nice to have a skate brand making simple looking shoes that can go with anything
-
Canvas LRABs actually feel a bit floppy/ bagged out in the beginning but actually form to your foot once broken in if that’s any consolation?

skating the suede vm001s for the first time, was pricy here in canada compared to other options (like the state pacificas i was previously skating) but wanted to try them with the good reviews out there and the fact they are everything i look for in a skate shoe: simple, durable, and available in black with white rubber. I use custom prescribed orthotic insoles so was worried about reports of the stock insoles being hard to remove but it was super easy. my insoles make shoes fit tight so the fact they fit big was perfect.
gotta say now that they are broken in they skate like a dream. board feels great, the flick on kickflips might be the best feeling flick ive ever had, and after 10 ish hours of skating theres barely any wear. at this rate i might be a full convert and only skate these for years to come.
they are mid tier for comfort walking around town but thats not a huge deal, and i bike most places anyways.
my two cents, good shoes, early in but definitely worth the price premium. alv is a mad genius.

Just got my first pair of vm001s tonight. I was planning on skating them immediately but they look so good I think I’ll keep them as chillers for a bit. After reading this thread, I was shocked that I found the insole to be decent. I was wondering if perhaps I got a pair with the reworked insole perhaps. (Vm001 in “old blue” suede).
Either way I’m hyped and already looking at other pairs haha.
-
I just got my first pairs of the vm001s and the vm002s on sale at my local. They are definitely some of the best looking shoes out right now. The vm002s felt slightly bigger than the vm001s and a little more substantial. Had to swap out the stock insoles for the converse lunarlon ones, and they feel pretty solid now.
I do hate how long the laces are. They look mad sloppy so had to cut those shorter.

Usually I feel the same way about laces but something about these just works for me, I like to have a bit of bunny ear flopping feels very 90s I guess

They start off good for me but quickly get a sunken to the concrete feeling after awhile. This was from a few drops ago so I have no idea if the revamped ones are better.

For me the laces on the canvas VM001 lows and VM003s are perfect. I thought that for once the laces are the correct length instead of too short or too long as is way too common. Great attention to detail I figured but maybe that’s not the same for everyone then with lower volume feet and or not going down half size like I did.
Also the cupsole model looks terrible IMO. I thought the same of the VM001s initially too though and now I like them so I’ll have to see how they look once they’re available.

Yeah, I think the new ones are much better. I got a pair of VM003 and I’ve been surprised how much more comfortable they are. I’ve swapped insoles on a couple my
My VM001s but I don’t think I will for the VM003 Unless they just totally compress

That’s so funny, I had the same reaction the first time I saw the VM001. I thought they were so lame but they grew on me.
Definitely still wary of the new models, especially the version with the SAMBA toe but I’m staying open minded and looking forward to seeing more of the colorways.
-
Wish they’d stop releasing new colours to be honest. Finding it difficult not to buy a new pair each month.
I’ve put FP insoles in my current VM001 low’s now and it’s definitely improved them. Currently trying to decide which style to get next…

I love the 002s I have, I just wish they came with slightly shorter laces.
I've also found that the laces rip quicker on the 002 compared to the 001 I have. I still like the 001 His best, I would love to see a 002 Hi. I know the 003 Hi is coming but... when?

I was pretty stoked when I saw the first samples of 3-3-20 being transformed into Last Resort since I was already a fan of those, and was quick on them when Sami released the first collection. Skated a bunch trough the winter, and they have great board feeling and I love the look of them. But.. I have never had any shoes that the bottom sole wears out so quick - they become so flat and thin that it ended up hurting my feet.
Switched over to my first pair of NB#´s and damn - the difference for my feet is huge. Great board feel too. I really hope they get a better under sole for the shoes, paring that with an FP insole and I would easily go back. For now Last resort is chillers for me strictly. A shame though, almost everyone around me has the same experience and switched after a few pairs to something else.

I fully understand the sole part, as I find them to wear out quick but without losing their grip so I'm not that mad.
On the other hand, have you tried to replace the stock insole with FP for example? I was thinking to do that as my heels are hurting a bit after the last few sessions.

I have the same thing. It wears down fast but stays grippy all the way until there's a hole. I just bought some FP Kingfoam Elite mids for mine because they have a similar profile to the original insole. It takes them from an 8/10 to a 10/10 shoe imo because the boardfeel and fit is basically the same but the impact protection is obviously way better. I was using the flat FP Kingfoam 5mm before and they were nice but very slightly too low at the heel which made the shoe even roomier.
-
I also have had the same experience. The sole wearing down is quick but it stays grippy. In comparison to other shoes, the shoes overall tread lasted longer, but once it was gone the shoes felt like ice skates. Converse in particular were the worst offenders of this, followed by vans. I will say tho, the last resorts did lose some grip once the sole wore away, but they were still good enough. Also the wear on the tread was quick, but the bottoms still lasted me a month before they got too thin for me.

Just bought two pairs for the price of one, VM003 canvas and VM002 suede. Went half size down and they both fit really good. What's the deal with sizing for VM001? I've read here that the suede fit big (so should get half size down) and that canvas are tts? Are they really though? Thinking of ordering a pair online but I'm afraid they might be too big if I go tts or too small if I go half size down...

Whatever size you went for in VM002/003, do the same for VM001 suede. If you get canvas, go .5 up. You CAN go same same as the rest, but they’re definitely going to be snug/narrow.

I’d say half size down in everything no matter the material. They are very narrow though. The VM001s are the narrowest shoes I’ve had.

The toe cap isn’t my Favorite but I’m sure they'll grow on me. If the cupsole is as comfortable as it should be, why would anyone go back to the vulcs? The cup looks so low profile

Waiting to see the sole pattern. I can imagine a harder rubber not being too great if it's the same pattern as the vulcs. Could also be wrong tho, I'm willing to try. Toe cap looks a little like tony Hawks first airwalk (soz to everyone who hates shoe a looks a bit like shoe b talk)

No you're totally right. I was thinking Enigma or a more round Jason Lee, but the Tony Hawk comparison totally nails it. And I'm down for it. At least it looks different than what everyone else is doing. I'll try out the cupsoles for sure. I like Pontus and am stoked on LRAB but Vulcs aren't really my vibe any more for chilling or skating so I'll definitely get some.

Look up old pics of the etnies “intercity”
-
Yeah the Intercity was always a good one. Definitely think the oversized toe on the LRAB cupsole is inspired by 90s shoe styles and I like it. Also it's more functional than a lower toe piece.
-
Lower toe join is the biggest bullshit comeback. It sucked, we got one piece toecaps but life was too good so they brought back the way to fuck up shoes. These lrab is the one way it can work. Altho looks almost nothing alike it's sort of similar to why a halfcab toe panel works. Blazer and Bruin style toes are sort of ok.
-
I don't follow this thread closely but had a few questions since LRAB are on sale at all the shops by me and I do like the look:
1. Are the new insoles easily removable?
2. Has anyone tried a more support insole like the thinner Superfeet?

The insoles are fairly easy to remove, they're very lightly glued in so you just have to be a little careful/go slowly, but it really isn't a big deal.
I haven't used superfeet but I've swapped in Vans Ultracush and Nike Lunarlon insoles, and it's worked fine. The LRAB insoles are super thin so you can't replace with anything super high volume, but a thin Superfeet insole would likely work great.
-
Getting some HUF soto vibes off the cupsole LRABs. Not a bad thing. More excited about the new insoles though
-
Def excited for the new insoles. Even if they’re trash, just knowing that you can effortlessly swap them out is a big improvement

1. I don't know about the new ones, but the glued-down ones come out very easily. Much easier than a Vans Classic insole, for example. The glue isn't very strong, but you should probably pull the insoles before you wear them much if you're planning to do that.
2. If you get the high tops, there's room for flexibility with your insoles. I got a pair just as chillers (can't skate in vulcs), and I wear them with my orthotics on top of the stock insole. They're a little squeezy in the toebox like that, but not painful or anything. If you got lows, you could probably remove the stock insole and run Superfeet green, but you'd have basically no cushioning under you.

Got the vm003 black canvas on a whim because the uppers on my shoes were tearing on the way to work. They feel a bit too floppy and sloppy for my liking. Went tts and laced up semi tight they fit well but probably won't get em again.

they actually get less floppy as they mold to your foot in my experience (at least with the canvas models)

Good to hear. I'm curious to see how it pans out. Probably won't skate them as it's good to have shoes that aren't fucked up that go with almost anything.

I've been rocking the white ones for a couple of months and they're holding up pretty well. I think the other poster is right that they sort of gain a bit of structure as they get worn.
-
yup you just gotta be stearn with them and eventually they mold into the shoe that you want them to be
-
I dunno, my 003s are chillers-only for all the reasons listed above, and they only continue to get floppier. And I say this as someone who really enjoyed skating in multiple pairs of canvas CTAS lows.
-
It may just be that mine are so filthy now all the dirt and stains are making them crusty and stiff
-
Ive been skating the canvas low vm003s and they are definitely molding to my feet and feeling stiff. The rubber backing did absolutely nothing for me tho and are quickly blowing out. I do like how they look absolutely wrecked tho.

Those look great. Perfectly seasoned
My ollie hole on the VM001 canvas highs was right at the edge of the rubber shield, so I had to shoe goo pretty aggressively to keep them going.

Same thing happened with this one for me. And the rubber that did make contact immediately wore through too. Luckily, there is a layer of canvas lining after that that I layered some shoe goo on. Now that I think of it, the duracap in vans also doesn't line up with where my holes show up. Wish companies would extend the rubber to the side more and also use better rubber. I also have a toe joint at the side of my feet that poke out a bit so it might be a unique problem I have with ollie holes.

The rubber backing did nothing for me either, next time I'll definitely be putting a layer of shoe goo on before I skate them. Here are mine after 60 hours of skating. I reckon I can get a couple more sessions out of them!

These 5mm ones. They have an firm arch area but aren't the ones you put in the oven. I think those would be too thick for these shoes/my feet.

How well do the tongues stay up in LRAB shoes. Can’t stand having them fall to the side of my foot.

I've never had an issue with my tongue sliding to the side in any of my LRABs. Now, the tongue does have the lace loop in the center of the tongue, and they come from LRAB with just one lace through it, but I re-lace mine and run both sides through it. Not sure if this makes a huge difference or not. For me, they're totally solid and stay in place

I was really hoping this would be the drop where we get the vegan suede 002s, but those ones look a lot like animal suede

Stoked on all the 003 color ways. Might be my fav over the 001 tbh

Huge fan of skating the 002s but those 003 highs will most definitely be purchased! Hopefully they're released in Europe soon

Dammit. Those VM003 highs in the red/orange look so good. Must buy

VM003 highs basically look like blazers without the swoosh, which i was dreaming about for years.

Really like those brown hi tops.

Idk why but when I wear other high tops I lose my flick but with last resorts it stayed the same.

I do like the puigs though. I also just bought a pair of non LRABs to skate in and i felt similarly

does anyone know if those aligator/snakeskin lookin last resorts fit tighter than the suede models? was thinking about buying a pair online and not sure if they fit bigger or smaller than normal.

got the vm001 his in black canvas today. wore them on my way home. they feel pretty good. insoles are pretty comfy, they are kind of stiff tho, but they are also new. so i guess that will wear out. i love how they look. one of the prettiest shoes i own. these probably won't be skated, i bought them to have one pair of simple black shoes as chillers that aren't trashed. i might buy in for a pair strictly for skating when they come with the new insoles or when the cup models have come out. went tts.

Saw Chris wearing his shoe... It's a simple silhouette like the rest of the line. The toe is similar to a Gazelle. As seen in a recent clip, there is a peach-ish pink suede with gum sole. Really dope.

The quality is really nothing to write home about. I've worn mine about three times, just walking, and the foxing is already splitting down the side in one spot and seperating from the canvas.

My vmoo1s have run the same. I’d say your best bet is to loosen them up by counteracting the low electromagnetic frequency of the red colored suede by sprinkling them with freshly cracked geode dust.

this tbh seems the only downside to them, soles are looking like that after 2/3 weeks depending on how much you'll skate.
But for the rest, best shoes so far. I've ended up getting 3 pairs of the VM001 Hi while waiting to trying the 003 HI.

totally different experience for me. although mine already look pretty dirty from work. the shiny coating on the outsole is flaking off kind of weird, but looks normal underneath. no foxing splits yet. i've skated them once out of curiosity, but you can't really see that.

My soles definitely don’t go that quickly, but they wear well before the rest of the shoe, especially the suede. I haven’t torn a toe or anything before the soles been worn pretty bare. I got a ton of life out of these though and my ollie hole actually went all the way through the suede

It happened to a pair from the 2nd or 3rd run, it was actually sick for me, bc as I was skating more and getting them dirty, the outsole would flake and give me a nice new layer.

Word is the outsole compound is getting updated for future drops. Will still be grippy but firmer so it is longer lasting.

TTS for canvas and half size down for suede has worked for me pretty well.

I just got a VM001, shoe looks amazing. Unfortunately, the left one feels weird at the ankle, like it's a bit loose and scratchy (initially tried a 9, but it was a tad tight, so went with 9.5). I had this issue with Vans as well. I compared left to right and noticed the left one has the white patch a bit lower than the right one, which I think is the culprit. I'm going to check with the local shop for a replacement, but I'm wondering, maybe there's an easy fix for it? shoes are great other than that.

No magical cures besides the fact that LRABs break-in and stretch pretty significantly, so you might work it out. If it's an obvious construction flaw, and you're not just in denial about your differently sized feet, then hit up keen.
-
I was at the store today and tried the exact same shoe on my left foot again and it was even worse, despite the white patch being higher this time. I guess it isn't that or the shoe. Something about my foot. Tried a 10 and no issue other than being a bit too big.

yeah that's the way to go. unless you bought them directly from them, i'd contact the seller/shop you bought from first. they will have a protocol for defects like this. companies aren't really going through their social media to settle complaints. i know dlx does, but i wouldn't expect it to work. they also can't possibly answer to all dms. the shop will also have more leverage then you to get a quick refund. contact the shop before you contact lrab.
EDIT:
fwiw i've worn my canvas pair to work and skated it lightly a few times, there's something wrong with your pair for sure. mine are dirty and do the hard edges flaking off thing still, but foxing and canvas are still very intact, you can't even really see i skated a few hours in them.
-
I ended up getting VM002 as well and they didn't have the previous issue, but I picked up some ripndip thick socks, and it made a significant difference in how sung the fit is. I did give the left shoe from the first pair to the local shoemaker and he will place a suede patch at the back of it, to make the scratchiness go away and more sung.

I already got the dark brown 003 hi's since my local had them for a week now instore. Dunno why they got shipped earlier than the rest of drop 8.
The insole is still glued in but its definitely much easier to pull them out now. I didnt had any residues in the shoe and the insole came out without being destroyed.
Don't know if the insole is "updated".
It's still a bad insole so i switch it out for my reminds.
-
Do the suede VM003 have a pretty similar feel to the VM001?
Idk why but the flick on my 003 feels better than my 001. At least right out of the box. The 001 midsole is so fucking grippy. might have to do with the higher foxing tape
-
For those wondering the difference between new insole/updated insole etc, they posted quite a bit about this and other updates in a recent email…
“However...if you're interested to hear what improvements we've done, here goes:
• INSOLE - A comment we hear is that the cushioning could be better. Starting from Drop 8 we will change the foam density in our existing models to a stiffer, more cushioned version, twice as dense as the original insole. We feel it still qualifies within the "feel great straight out the box" category, without losing the close-to-the-board sensation we're fond of. Starting from Drop 10 we will change all insoles throughout the collection to a brand new version.
• GLUE - Many people prefer to use their own insoles, so as a compromise we've changed the method of fastening the insoles in our shoes to using a softer glue, which makes it easier to rip out (still at your own risk!)
• OUTSOLE - Our shoe uppers are banging! which makes it a bit unfair to our outsole since it wears out faster. To even out this equation we've changed the compound in our outsoles to better withstand abrasion, carefully not to lose the flex and grip we need. Effective on all models.”

pretty neat to see that they listen/respond to feedback and make improvements. haven't skated my VM001's yet as I have other shoes to burn through, but I do have high hopes for them and looking forward to the future drops. especially those VM003 highs

Its good to hear they're making positive changes, but we'll have to see how these work out. The only aspect that is somewhat annoying is the insole still being glued. It's not a huge issue, but I don't exactly understand why it's necessary to glue them down still. Maybe there is good reasoning, but Nike, Adidas, Vans Skate line (among others) all have a removable insole typically as standard.

Well they are changing to a removable in drop 10. My guess is they already went into production on 8 and 9 months ago and it was easier to change the glue they used and density of the same insole than to go without the glue on their current insole (which seems to be similar shape even with minor foam adjustment). The type of insole they have now (floppy and thin) I imagine wouldn't stay in place too well if not glued in. I think this is a pretty good half way meeting place until they roll out the removable revamped insoles.

“However...if you're interested to hear what improvements we've done, here goes:
• INSOLE - A comment we hear is that the cushioning could be better. Starting from Drop 8 we will change the foam density in our existing models to a stiffer, more cushioned version, twice as dense as the original insole. We feel it still qualifies within the "feel great straight out the box" category, without losing the close-to-the-board sensation we're fond of. Starting from Drop 10 we will change all insoles throughout the collection to a brand new version.
• GLUE - Many people prefer to use their own insoles, so as a compromise we've changed the method of fastening the insoles in our shoes to using a softer glue, which makes it easier to rip out (still at your own risk!)
• OUTSOLE - Our shoe uppers are banging! which makes it a bit unfair to our outsole since it wears out faster. To even out this equation we've changed the compound in our outsoles to better withstand abrasion, carefully not to lose the flex and grip we need. Effective on all models.”
From what my local shop told me, I was under the impression this was supposed to be the removable insole drop. Kind of odd but who knows.

I'd say that Pontus, the guy who wrote out all that info above and owns LRAB, knows.

Hours Is Yours punching the air right now lol
I wonder if this means LRAB is going to make a lifestyle line. I'm sure those tassel loafers are skateable but they'll look horrible when you do.

I'm hoping those loafers are just a one-off for Pontus to wear to orgies as no company ever needs to make a skate loafer ever again please.

This has probably been asked/answered but do we know if the VM003s fit like the 001s? I normally wear 11.5 in Vans and such, but size down to 11 in LRAB and Cons vulc models thus far.

I was thinking the same about the glue stains, but it also kind of looks like it could be on a VM002 sole and the light is just reflecting off the edges weirdly. I just find it hilarious that Pontus keeps saying that he'll never make a slip-on and then posts a picture of this thing. I love slip-ons so I'd probably get these just to see how they skate.

While loafers are whatevs it is one step closer to an ipath cat which I see as a positive. Combine it with their cupsole and we're starting to get somewhere.

I always get them tts and I think the fit is fine so I think there's a lot of personal preference involved. They feel like they might be too big out the box, but after they break in they feel only slightly more roomy than vans and skate great in my opinion.
I just got the VM003 Canvas Hi too and the updated insole definitely feels a little more firm, but my bet is on most people still ripping it out. I'm going to put a few hours into them this weekend to see if the insole update is a placebo or not.

Maybe youre the lucky one but im pretty sure youll be disappointed.
They were so roomy in the front that i wouldve lost my flick and could hide a little session bag of weed in front of my toes.
And no the fit is definitely not fine. All those "Canvas tts" maybe true for the 001 but definitely not the 003.

I had to go half size down on both and they’re still no exactly hugging my feet even though they really are too narrow ( but doable) for me. The sole seems to be true to size as it is shorter than all my other shoes. I think it’s the complete lack of padding and any support structure, the narrow toe box and wide ankle opening that make these shoes fit so strange for a lot people.

Why do these shoes feel so good on foot I don’t get it. They feel so much more cozy than cons and vans
-

Better quality. I think it’s because they are producing shoes in smaller volumes compared to the big corporate shoes, so each unit gets a lil bit more attention in production. They can also probably roll out changes in product quicker than a vans or cons. Better materials too.
Also I just have to say that Vans quality is just utter mass produced trash. If my sole and sidewall separate on the shoe, that is just bad quality. It’s happened on almost all the Vans i’ve owned. Mass produced crap.

For me it's the fit along the inside arch of the sidewalls. I remember a pontus interview when the shoes rolled out and he made a point of saying that he wanted a vulc that didn't bag out in that area (the "potato" portion of the foot he called it). Most thinner shoes I've had always bag out there and leave the foot pretty unstable over time.

Update on my VM003 saga: the shop I ordered them from was able to switch them out for half a size smaller before they shipped them (shoutout Holistic) and I’ve been skating them for the past few days. The VM003 canvas hi’s are great. They somehow have even less break-in period than the VM001 canvas hi’s (my previous favorite Last Resorts) and the slightly wider toebox eliminates my pinky toes bleeding for the first couple days of skating them.

i wear us13 most of the time. 12 in cons.
i went 13s on vm001 canvas on the first drop and never liked the fit. just got 12s in vm001 canvas and they fit amazing out the box. everyones feet are different but i hope this helps someone :)

I just started skating my VM003 lows and aside from immediately ollieing through the rubber underlay, they feel great. I did switch out the insole and I did a pretty major shoe goo patch over my ollie hole but I'm hopeful they'll last a while. I had a similar experience on my VM001 canvas highs where they took a while to break in (and I bought my suede size so they were a bit snug), but they lasted forever. Had a similar ollie hole on those but once shoe goo'd it held up really well.

All this swapping insole talk made me think that Last Resorts were mad uncomfortable. I used to skate cupsoles only, but after really liking my Cons One Stars I decided to give the suede VM003s a try and I find them more comfortable than those. I haven't skated them as my Cons still have some life left in them but so far I really the 003s. If the sole holds up comparably to them then I have definitely found my favorite vulc.

I found my insole on my drop 5 vm001s to be great at first but slowly get that sinking to concrete feeling. Some people do fine on stock insoles tho so results will vary.

Just skated the VM003s, but my heel keeps slipping in them, even when the laces are fully tightened. I think it's due to to smooth leather around the ankle that doesn't really grip a lot. Think I'm just gonna keep 'em as chillers, although I really liked everything else about the shoes.

Not sure if it was this drop but Pontus in an interview did say they were experimenting with a harder rubber that still had a good grip
-

Yeah, someone posted a quote from a mailing list a couple of pages back about this drop having harder-wearing rubber and slightly denser foam insoles.
I've only put 10 hours of skating into them, but so far the insoles feel much better too. Usually by this point they'd be getting a bit concretey and I'd be thinking about swapping them out for some footprints.

They're essentially the same size, so if there's room in your VM002s then sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.
-

Not a shoe guy (nor a foot guy, for that matter), so I could be way off here, but maybe to allow better tightening around the front foot for people with narrow toes?

this is how i see it too. the lower laces give you room to torque and loosen where you need to give you a pretty form fitting shoe

Been skating my first pair of last resorts for about a month and I really love them. I previously mostly skated cons so wasn’t a huge change to VM003 Hi Canvas but they’re def my new fav skate shoe. Basically exactly like a converse except better construction and better materials. For those still curious about sizing, I’m a 9.5 in cons, a 10.5 in Nike and a 10 in last resort.

No, I think that person got confused because they mentioned both shoes. That Chris Milic shoe looks to be vulcanized and like it was said in the video basically the VM001 with a t-toe. The CM001 was posted a few pages back and looks like this...

I was glad to see them acknowledge the short toebox on these shoes, because I tried a pair it was like having my feet bound, and I had to quit mid-session because my feet were going numb. My friend who loves Last Resort kept insisting that I wasn't somehow wrong or not giving them enough time, so I am vindicated.

For the VM001 suede is the consensus still 1/2 size down like Cons? I had a pair when they first came out and remember them still being really loose and I had to crank the laces.

@LebowskisRug i have half sized down with multiple pairs of vm001s and a pair of 002s and the sizing has been perfect. some crazy folk will say tts for suede but I wouldn’t do it imo
Edit: if you went down 1/2 size before and they were already loose - then I’d personally probably go a full size down but that’s just me

Piggybacking on that question- how do you know if you're getting an improved shoe? Especially if your local doesn't carry them?

Hopefully it's just the shorts,pads, socks combo that's hard to make anything look good but something about these doesn't look quite right. Like theyre too tall or something. Not a tight upper like the vulcs.

I think it’s the way it’s cut by the ankles and the socks accentuate it. The back does look a bit tall but again I think it’s more so the collar is cut low.

CM001 spotted in white, the back of the shoe looks like the Stan Smith's
I think it’s the way it’s cut by the ankles and the socks accentuate it. The back does look a bit tall but again I think it’s more so the collar is cut low.
they look very orthopedic but ill wait to see em in person
the on foot test proved me wrong for the 002s and 003s

Piggybacking on that question- how do you know if you're getting an improved shoe? Especially if your local doesn't carry them?
didn’t they change the insole too? that could be a way to tell them apart. keen has D8 written next to the shoe model on their b2b website if it’s from that drop but i didn’t see any visual differences and we don’t have any shoes from that delivery in the shop yet.

I recently got a pair of the VM001 hi and I was able to easily remove the insoles. They definitely put less glue at the bottom of them. That was probably the most notable difference from previous last resorts I had.

On the inside around the arch area they have the drop number printed. The first few had a date but the later ones say “Drop x”. When I get my local to order a pair in for me I just make sure to get a new colour way so I know that I’m not getting old stock.
-
The white CM001’s do like kind of orthopedic there, and the black ones look a bit like generic ‘fancy’ sneakers like Cole Haan or whoever would make. In the on-foot picture from Ludvig, it looks like your foot sits pretty high on the sole, like on the brick-like sole on the Cons Pro Leather. I’m talking a lot of shit, but if they’re comfortable and fit me well, I will still definitely buy them. Prayers up for a cushioned/foam midsole, and not just crating and an insole.
-
For the VM001 suede is the consensus still 1/2 size down like Cons? I had a pair when they first came out and remember them still being really loose and I had to crank the laces.
I skated a pair of vm002's and I had to get them a full size down. Something to consider. Not sure how different it would be for the 001's.

I have the vm001 and vm002. The 1s fit perfect, but the 2s are loose and feel pretty floppy.

does anybody else think these shoes just look like overpriced walmart shoes?
i cant justify them
a lotta people saying theyre the pinnacle of simplicity, but i just dont see it
the wavy stitching just looks stupid to me
the shoe also looks like it only fits a narrow foot well
-
i went half size down in suede vm001s and they feel pretty good to me for chillers. comfortable with some very slight heel slippage. i think i could go full size down for skating. for anyone interested in last resort ab, try them on in-person, if possible, to find what works best for you

I’ve got a 9.5 in the dancer collab vm003 low white I’m looking to sell. No box but brand new and unworn. I ordered them before learning I’m a size 10 in this shoe.

he took quite a bit of influence from keds so you're not entirely wrong. to me, they remind me of dukes (minus) the cupsole; sure the look of them is very simple but the little tweaks and quality are apparent when you see them in person/ try them on. I'm not sure about the models with no padding around the collar, but many our vouching for those ones too. I have wide feet (aka I love NB #420s) and in tts the canvas ones have enough room in the toe box imho, I think the skinnyness of them is an optical illusion. Anyway, I'm not skating vulcs anymore but if do, they are worth trying!!

I don't love the move to nearly black foxing tape on all the models, but maybe that's what people are buying. However, those mocha/white suede joints have my name all over them
-
Those brown suede/orange label are so, so nice.
-
I haven't tried LRABs since they first dropped.
Has the insole been changed? Wasn't feeling the original insole design
-
I have a new pair of all black leather joints and I'm still undecided if I should skate them or not
anybody skate the leather ones yet?

It's essentially the same. Slightly more cushioned and not as much glue, but if you didn't like it before, you probably won't like it any more now.
-
Obvs a million shoes look like a million other shoes but these came up while scrolling and look like their cupsole uppers. Would be cool if they can get them kinda tighter looking like these

Skated mine. Loved them. So durable. Leather is soft and skates great. Unsure if I prefer them over the suede 001s but they've lasted longer (might have been the drop with the more durable grip but unsure).
-
Thanks! I'm going for it. You guys can't stop me.
-
I've been wanting a pair of suede low top vm001 for chillers for a while, and man, I sure am glad i waited until i could try them on in person. Everyone was saying halfsize down, I went TTS just fine.
edit:
Also, I was super worried about my toes being crunched together since they look pretty narrow. But they're honestly not too bad. The high foxing tape makes them look more narrow than they are. Blazers feel more narrow imo

Let's just compare some popular competitors:
Vans Authentic/Era/Slip On: The Lo have a bit thicker/better collar padding and are more form fitting in the heel. My heel lock is perfect in them, but it moves around a decent amount in newer Vans. Thinner insoles, but slightly thicker sole if you look at the Wear Tested cutaway. Doesn't have insane amount of foxing rubber yet it seems from wear tests that they are really durable and don't have Vans QC issues.
Cons CTAS- Thicker suede, have an actual heel and collar. Same points as above.
Cons One Star- Maybe the closest model, but seem to be preferred for durability by user reports.
Blazer- Not a Nike. Inferior insole, less foxing tape. For the VM001 probably the closest competitor. GT Blazers are too narrow for me yet LR don't have foot spillover.

Do you guys find that the sole wears really quickly on these? Ive skated mine for less than 10 days and walked in them a fair amount, but I feel like the sole is wearing way faster than the soles on my blazers did

Yeah LR's are notorious for soles burning out quick. Supposedly their newer drops have a harder compound but I can't vouch for it since I haven't tried.

They could use some more tread depth/thicker soles
-
As stated a bunch in this thread previously, the tread wears down on the quicker side but the grip remains. Also they’re specifically designed with shallow tread so nothing gets stuck in them.

I def appreciate that aspect of their design, a thoughtful touch.
But im sure they could improve it.

I had a pair which I skated for half a session before I couldn't handle the toe box any longer, and in that time the right shoe (my leading foot, I am goofy) developed noticeable wear. I thought maybe it was just breaking in, but you're not the first person to mention how quickly the soles wear down, and for me, this matter much more than the sides, because the sole is the one piece I cannot repair with suede, ShoeGoo or super glue.

Yea thats pretty much what I'm thinking. I've got a set of blazers on ice rn so I'll probably be returning to those pretty soon.
-
the soles do wear fairly quick but I do think it's gotten better on later drops, and it hasn't affected me too much except at suuuuuper slick skateparks like westchester skate plaza. It's pretty funny going to push and having your foot completely slip as if you're on ice.
-
Do the crocodile VM001s fit the same as suede?
-
Can't answer on crocodile. I'd say though that I'm half size down in suede, but went true to size leather and they're fine. Maybe could have gone half size down, but they are slightly more snug.
Also sole on black leather 001s (drop 7 or 8 maybe) lasted much better than the earlier drops. Looking forward to the new changes and the Milic pro model.

Does vm003s hi's fit like 001 hi's? think i read that 003 was slimmer but cant remember..
Also anyone tried to stretch out suade shoes? My friend told me to try shoes half a size down for better flips.. But I busted my toe instead cause they were too small lol. Left foot fits perfect, right one is too tight.

Can’t comment on the highs but on the lows the 003 are slightly wider than the 001. I would assume the same for the highs.

I had a pair of 001 in my usual 11 and just got the 003 in a 10.5 both in suede/low top. I've only worn the 003 around the house since I got several shoes to go through first but it seems like the toe box is slightly wider. I didn't care for the extra length on the 001 and the width made me nervous on sizing down but it worked out on the 003. The 003 in suede half size down might give you just enough space you need. If you're busting your toes up though you might want to try some on first since it may not be enough extra space.

Had mine for just under a week now, got a size 11.5 usually wear 12 and they're good looking shoes, but mine are slightly "baggy" already. Skated them twice just an hour on a mini ramp nothing crazy, so can't really tell you about flick or impact but the board feel is nice. The squishy bagginess isn't too rough, reminds me of the feel of slip-ons kinda. They are nice enough that I ordered some vm003's.

I'm on my second pair only because I had the last pair replaced on warranty due to canvas tearing in odd places. The distro sent me a suede pair and I can't be bothered dealing with them again to get canvas. The quality is only slightly better and the shoes have bagged out in only five days of casual walking here and there. I feel like people are forcing these shoes to be good. The presentation and clean look is there and that's about all.
-
wanted to try some for a long time and now used the sale opportunity to get some mustard suede vm001 and some white suede vm001. i am really curious how they skate and how i will like them. i've been on various nike sb models in the last five years plus such as koston2 and 3, allcourts, bruins, gt blazers so some switching up is cool and i wonder how they compare.

I don't think it is. Post above seems to think it is.

I don’t think the drawing is anti semetic but it does look like the old WWII anti semetic propaganda posters google them. It’s usually just a huge pointy nose like that. Google WWII anti semetic propaganda and a lot of charactures like that will pop up.
After thought edit. I would say this is about anti-semetic as the Indy cross is pro nazi/racist. Could be interpreted that way but I don’t think the goal of either was to be malicious to anyone. But treads a fine line. If you consider one the other is aswell. I wouldn’t wear either in public. Because I don’t want to offend someone or someone get the wrong idea of me and think I’m okay or side with racist images

That’s a bummer for you but no one is forcing anything. I’ve been skating for thirty years and am on my sixth pair for skating and third for chilling and they’re far and wide the most comfortable and durable skate shoes I’ve ever owned aside from maybe like, the OG leather accel’s in ‘03, and even that may be nostalgia.
-
while the shirt itself might not be antisemitic, the imagery it uses sure is. you can read up on stereotypical depictions of jews here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_Jews#Nose
i don't know if it is meant to be interpreted that way, but to me the usage of antisemitic stereotypes seems to be pretty obvious here. anybody who wants to wear something like that should know what it represents and/or might be interpreted as by others (same with iron cross logos)
-
Wouldn’t be caught dead in that shirt.
-
Not trying to gaslight or anything, but Mike Gigliotti is Jewish. That was the first thing he said when people were upset about Two Felons being included on that skateshop shirt/list thing that he made a few years ago. So while the art may be reminiscent of WWII propaganda I’m fairly certain there was no intent of it being antisemitic.

Yeah. I’m sure it wasn’t meant that way but when you’re out and about in your daily life no one’s gonna ask you if Mike lottie himself is Jewish. They’re just gonna assume your anti semetic. I’m not arguing with what you’re saying just saying if someone wears that shirt every Tom dick and Harry out in the world isn’t gonna care about if lottie is Jewish. They’re just gonna assume you are an anti semite.

I had the exact same reaction when I was the short when it first came out- very reminiscent of Nazi propaganda.
For me, unless you know the details about the ethnicity of the artist, it looks way too close, and easily mistaken for Jewish stereotypes.
We live in an era where fascism is on the rise, and public figures are talking about ‘going deathcon 5’ on Jews. This is not the time for ambivalent, easily midtaken imagery.
Should be done a lot better.
-
big yikes about that shirt.
-
I mean it's just a draw of a man with a big nose. There's no context or éléments about his religion or origins that would make it antisemitic. For me it's like saying the simpsons is antisemitic because of how Montgomery Burns is drawn.

i guess it depends a bit on where you live and how much history there is with stuff like this. in my country the apparence of a hooknosed scheming and kniving figure was the traditional anti semitic depiction of a jew.
i find it at least very ambiguos, but overall very sus to put that shirt out, especially as a european company. there's no way no one in the management didn't think about it twice. it must have been a calculated move. it's nearly impossible they are unaware of the fact this at least might be seen as a riff on antisemitic cliches.
even if they are not anti-semitic it's still a fucked up and tasteless business move to bring out a shirt like this.

monty burns has a long nose, but per series lore he's definitely not jewish. the series provides enough context to make that clear. at one point it's insinuated he might even have collaborated with nazis or was part of the ss at one point. there's much more to drive the point home he's absolutely clearly not jewish, but this is not a simpsons lore thread. the point is the simpsons provides plenty context to figure it out. without context like this like with the lrab shirt i'm left wondering who the hooknosed guy represents. historically there are only so many groups that were depicted like that and likened to the devil or demons.
to me this shirt borderlines on dogwhisteling to antisemites. i think it's really fucked up. i wouldn't want to be caught dead in it tbh.

it would still look like the malicious caricature of a jew to me as in how they were done around here around 100 years ago. i guess that sentiment also comes down to history of the country you grew up in and how taboo these things are in your respective country nowadays. i would be surprised if any shop is going to sell this in my country tbh. but you never know, some people are very tone deaf.
mike lotties might be jewish, but imagine someone asking you about this shirt you're wearing and you're going on a 10 min "akshually, mike lotties is jewish and a well respected artist bla bla" rant. that's absolutely not weird.
i always liked what mike has done and i respect lrabs hustle, but this is major l for both in my book. stuff like this doesn't just get greenlit. so much history in middle and northern europe when it comes to that stuff should have rang someone's alarm bell. the intention is not so much the problem. if mike didn't want to make a stereotypic depiction of a jew he still ended up with one that was put into a graphical context sort of equating it to the devil. or rather vice versa. even if mike just wanted to draw a random bureaucrat and ended up using anti semitic characteristics by coincidence at some point he should have thought "whoops, that's a bit close to some hot cliches...".
i don't necessarily think mike or lrab are rabid antisemites, but them having no regard for this cultural taboo and riffing on these stereotypes to sell shirts that only serve as tasteless billboards for their brand to sell more and also building your brand on imagery such as this this early in your inception is fucking wack. i don't know if this is because pontus nearly pees his pants giggling when he looks through old world catalogs and sees shit like the napping negro graphic and then desperately wants to edge or troll the shit out of his fans and see how far they go along with him.
i promise i'm done ranting now, but i want to close off with another question to discuss:
in the eyes of all you guys who say it's just a random dude, do you think this graphic means something at all or not? if it is some sort of totally not anti-semitic joke maybe you can explain it.

Wasn't trying to excuse the shirt just was seeing If it's only the entire graphic together or the elements seperated are still as bad. The answer seems to be the second option.

I mean it's just a draw of a man with a big nose. There's no context or éléments about his religion or origins that would make it antisemitic. For me it's like saying the simpsons is antisemitic because of how Montgomery Burns is drawn.
i guess it depends a bit on where you live and how much history there is with stuff like this. in my country the apparence of a hooknosed scheming and kniving figure was the traditional anti semitic depiction of a jew.
i find it at least very ambiguos, but overall very sus to put that shirt out, especially as a european company. there's no way no one in the management didn't think about it twice. it must have been a calculated move. it's nearly impossible they are unaware of the fact this at least might be seen as a riff on antisemitic cliches.
even if they are not anti-semitic it's still a fucked up and tasteless business move to bring out a shirt like this.

monty burns has a long nose, but per series lore he's definitely not jewish. the series provides enough context to make that clear. at one point it's insinuated he might even have collaborated with nazis or was part of the ss at one point. there's much more to drive the point home he's absolutely clearly not jewish, but this is not a simpsons lore thread. the point is the simpsons provides plenty context to figure it out. without context like this like with the lrab shirt i'm left wondering who the hooknosed guy represents. historically there are only so many groups that were depicted like that and likened to the devil or demons.
to me this shirt borderlines on dogwhisteling to antisemites. i think it's really fucked up. i wouldn't want to be caught dead in it tbh.
I understand your point way better. Thanks. TBH I don't even like that graphic or most oh his art and I wondered if there was something I didn't get.

@Frank Very well said. The one thing I'd like to add is that it's absolutely possible for a Jewish persion to be antisemitic, so the "Mike Lottie is Jewish, so the shirt can't be antisemitic" argument doesn't hold much water. If art features imagery that has been used for antisemitic purposes for hundreds of years, it's antisemitic, regardless of the artist's intent or whether they knew about the connotations - which any artist worth their salt absolutely should. We're not talking about some kid drawing something for the fridge here, this is a for-profit design that passed some kind of screening process before it was greenlit. It's very improbable that nobody involved in that process realized how probematic the imagery is.
I really liked both the idea and the exection of LRAB before I stumbled across these graphics, but I won't be caught dead in any of their gear anymore. Antisemitism can't be tolerated in any form.

Not trying to gaslight or anything, but Mike Gigliotti is Jewish. That was the first thing he said when people were upset about Two Felons being included on that skateshop shirt/list thing that he made a few years ago. So while the art may be reminiscent of WWII propaganda I’m fairly certain there was no intent of it being antisemitic.
Yeah. I’m sure it wasn’t meant that way but when you’re out and about in your daily life no one’s gonna ask you if Mike lottie himself is Jewish. They’re just gonna assume your anti semetic. I’m not arguing with what you’re saying just saying if someone wears that shirt every Tom dick and Harry out in the world isn’t gonna care about if lottie is Jewish. They’re just gonna assume you are an anti semite.
Just to add, I have this Polar jacket (https://www.nativeskatestore.co.uk/skate-clothing-c9/jackets-c22/alv-doodle-coach-jacket-black-p32888) and I’ve been asked what it means by offended christians quite a few times. When you explain that it’s a reference to an old skate video they understand, but I’m surprised how much attention it gets off randos. If that jacket pisses people off there’s no way I’d feel comfortable wearing that LRAB shirt.
That said I do think the design is probably just down to Pontus being a goofy guy and I love the shoes so I’ll keep buying them. Shirt is whack though.

Finally got a pair of the vm003's and they're my new fav skate shoe. Loved my VM001's but the 11.5's were a tad big, 11's felt a little tight — thought I just wouldn't be able to consistently skate LRABs. For me vm003's in size 11 are absolutely perfect, with a little more room in the toebox compared to vm001 and vm002. (For context I'm a true 11.5 in Vans Slip-ons or Nike Blazers, 11 in Cons CTAs highs — narrow foot, but I've had forefoot surgery so I need a little more room there)

i have some low suede vm001 and vm002 and i think they fit too big and i should have gotten them one half size down, 11.5 instead of the usual us 12. what gives. it's winter and i wear thicker socks now. they skate good and have solid grip. they are a tad too low at the ankles for my liking and i have to get used to the heel lock, but i may be still biased coming from a nike sb koston 3 haha.

Too snug for me. Length went down one size. I suspect they use UK sizing? Did a very quick look and couldn’t confirm it though.

how’s the vm003 fit compared to fastbreaks or crocketts? ive heard to size down with lr’s
If they’re canvas, go with your Fastbreak size. I went down 0.5 (US) for the Dancer collab but it was too tight. The general consensus is to go down if they’re suede, in regards to VM003, but hopefully someone else can verify this soon.
I’ve wasted way too much money buying and then having to resell shoes because they don’t fit, based on other people’s recommendations to size up or down. What I found to work is using the cm size as TTS. US/EUR/U.K. sizing varies by brand. Other than CONS CTAS, I’m able to get the perfect fit by using socks of varying thickness, from thinnest to thickest: Stance, Gildan, Dickies, HUF.
TLDR: Using the centimeter size and adjusting for size discrepancy with socks works better for 95% of shoes than trying to size up or down, unless the sizing is truly messed up.

I agree with you. They’re all the same size: too big. Half size down on all. They are narrow and suede/leather is easier to break in than canvas but canvas will stretch as well. Going with my true size is huge on all the models I have tried on.

Yeah i didnt listen either and size down from 10 cuz 9.5 felt way too tight, but once they broke in it feels like im wearing clown shoes lol. the suedes stretch a good amount

I know the Milic shoe is basically the VM001 with one extra panel added, but that extra panel does open it up for some cool colour combinations. I'd like to see light blue/dark blue like the classic Vans Old Skool colourway, or green and brown with a black sole (Airwalk Enigma style).
Edit: If they do the Airwalk Enigma colourway on the cupsole, I'm probably hoarding pairs like they were apocalypse supplies.

I wear a 10 in dunks, 9.5 in LRABs (I had canvas, vm03, I think). I went tts, and they are a bit big. I prefer to wear the shoes a little big, but these were real low cut…good shoe tho.

They've had the new rubber since D8 according to an email he put out a while ago that's screenshotted a few pages back. The Drop 8 pair I've been skating since October have lasted longer than any of my others and still have a few weeks to a month left in them. it feels like maybe a 15-20% improvement on the old formula I'd say. Hopefully they've fine-tuned it even more though!

No, i think the Cupsole CM001 model is in the drop after this. Pretty sure this is a vulc and yes, is the VM001 with the little samba toe cap. It should have the updated insole and the more wear resistant sole as well though.

confirming what was already suspected, but it looks like all the models (even carry-overs) are getting the new insoles. You can see here that the white canvas VM003s (which originally came out a few drops ago) now have the removable insole

Big, not 1/2 size but if you are in between sizes I would go 1/2 down. But if always the same size then tts. But they have a new drop in sole and not sure how they fit now.

Half size down would be my choice too, I love them because I wear 13US and they feel like a 13,5US, unfortunately this size doesn't exist in any skate brand and sometimes 13 is too tight.
In my opinion the canvas version has more a tight fit and the suede ones feel more loose.

I'm in between 8.5 and 9 in LRAB. Last year I skated the 8.5 vm001s and they were dope, like a sock but not a lotta protection, and the sz 9 vm001's w/ a superfeet flexthin footbed on top of the insole, which has dat squish but still amazing board feel.
Just got some size 9 vm001s hi again, in a powdery blue color, for snowskating. I have room for a winter weight sealskinz waterproof sock in there comfortably with just the stock insole, and if I wanna use em in the spring I can just add the superfeet footbeds right on top . I just used a heat gun to bake a buncha sno-seal wax into em and it darkened em up to a more navy blue and they feel more robust and will certainly be more water resistant, I've only done the left shoe so far but I'll get some before after pics and stuff, it turned out great. I feel like dunk highs a half size up might be the best shoe for snowskating but they're $$$ and often wacky colors. I would love to impregnate some of those green decons or something with snow seal hahah

Nah they're a vulc samba minus any detail about the samba that would make it appealing to look at and structured while skating.
I like the other LR, but the blank side panel looks weird. Like a Wal Mart Samba knock off. I would be called Strikerz or some vaguely soccer related term and the dude that works the frier at Mc Donalds that just got out of prison wears them.

They fact that they are described as the softest insoles got me worried. I need it to be 30 percent cushy and 70 percent firm and supportive. Oh well, at least it not being glued in at all makes a switch that much easier.
-
I would be very surprised if the insoles remain soft over time. Unless they are some fancy expensive material, theyre just gonna flatten out and provide little to no impact protection sooner or later.
I dont own them though so I dont know personally.
But most stock insoles just suck, i have no reason to believe these are any different.

Foam doesn't firm up over time in lots of applications. A friend of mine makes custom mattresses for RVs and camper vans and helped me build mine, but his number one piece of feedback is that even memory foams won't get firmer over time.
Still a good move for LR. Their demographic isn't wanting a super structured firm insole and/or might be keen to swapping it anyways. It's better than it was and they can always sell a firmer or different version.

I skated a pair of VM001 lows in the black suede when LRAB first dropped. Had that weird peeling foxing tape thing. Had to pry out the glued insoles and use Vans ones so I could at least have some decent impact protection. After they wore out I never really cared to try them again but they weren’t bad.
Saw the new “dusty green” colorway of the VM001 and my local got them in, so I impulsively drove up and got them today. Haven’t skated them or anything but they still fit the same (tts) and the insole is pretty damn comfy. Not as thick in the heel like Vans which is a little too much until they start to kinda pack down. These ones don’t feel too stiff or too soft. Just a nice middle ground. I’ve never tried footprint or any of those aftermarket insoles to compare them to, but I’d say they offer at least the same protection as Vans, just less dramatic heel lift.

This was the promo pic I got from a shop about them.
I hadn't seen this pic posted here yet, even though at least others have posted other pics of it.

I wonder how long until Vans files a lawsuit because the name is too close to ComfyCush :v

gonna have to change it to piss plush next drop.

Has anyone been able to try any pairs from drop 10 yet with the new insoles?
If so, is it still recommend to go 1/2 size down or TTS now re the Gifted Hater video?

I skated the canvas highs for an hour yesterday and Gifted’s review is pretty spot on. I wore them TTS with the OG insoles before and they were a tiny bit loose, D10 are a tiny a bit tight on me. The experience of skating them was he describes too. They feel much more like a pro Vans shoe and it took a little getting used to. Also my feet got hotter than in my other canvas pairs. I don’t know if that’s down to the insole, print or some other change I don’t know about.
Edit: It sounds like a load of negatives but they are definitely a huge upgrade and worth the wait. Photos don’t do the cracked colourway justice either. I got tons of compliments for them at the skatepark and from randos in the pub.

I got tts and they feel perfect, I tried on the .5 down too and they felt too tight so I’d agree tts is a safe bet
-
Got the Milics in a .5 size down like I usually have in the suede shoes and they feel a smidge tight I reckon. I guess I should've listened and gone TTS.

The soles do not look good on loafers but maybe they look better in person. Also, they would be better without the tassels.

Got my new canvas high tops today (black crackle ones) they fit snug a size down but feel good, the canvas will stretch some. The new insoles feel nice.
-
Just picked up vm001 from the latest drop, went with size 9 (was wearing 9.5 in the crockets if that helps anyone. They’re a bit skinny but I think they’ll be pretty perfect when they stretch a bit. I’m hoping these skate as well as I think they will and I can finally move away from vans-too many issues with the foxing separating from the sole or suede upper. Anyone have issues with separating? I’d really like these to be my go to, and I think the new insole is gonna finally make LR’s a shoe I wanna skate
-
I can say after a week of skating the milics I’m a huge fan, best vulc I’ve skated in a while and I haven’t skated lows this comfortably in years. My local shop has the green pair in my size so I’ll probably get another pair before they’re gone.
-
I ended up hating the suede vm001 highs because they just fit like shit and make my feet and back hurt. I had the canvas lows and highs previously and the highs were a little too snug and never broke in. I loved the lows, though. Would like to try the vm003 or milics, they seem like a roomier fit than vm001.
-
Are they phasing out the VM002? That was my favorite of their shoes. My local doesn’t carry that model, as they said no one bought them.

Hopefully not. I love the 002's but I've been skating 003 high alot more lately. Maybe since they released that, plus the cupsole coming out they've decided to slow down the 002?
-
I'll say out of the 001 and 003 (haven't skated the 004 yet), the 002 have no appeal to me. Mainly because the both the ones I listed skated so good. Idk the 002 don't have the "it" factor for me but maybe i'll skate some

Same here, the 002 is the only one I stopped skating before they were completely wrecked so I could use them as my beater shoes. something about the way they fit feels a little less secure than the 001 and 003 and I love the way the canvas highs skate.

Where can i get some white replacement laces for my VM001's? (low top)
I've seen LARB replacement laces online but i havent seen them specify what models they're for. I don't want to purchase the wrong length laces.

Shoe sizing in general is so weird to me. I've had about 5 pairs of Crocketts and 5 pairs of lrab suede high. I do 9 in Crockett and 9.5 in lr. In all shoes I pull the insoles and use fp. Overall I like the lr more, i don't like multiple layers and stiching on the toe like Crockett have.
Would try the loafers (especially in a different colorway) for when I have to work in office.
If they make the suede high in a cup that might be my shoe for the foreseeable future.

They have them on the LRAB site, I believe the lows are the 120 cm cause they only come in 120 or 130
-
are their laces any good, they look kinda crappy to me? i would look at aftermarkets of the same lenght.
-
in general the laces are good, pretty thick and 100% cotton. they hold up quite well.
if you put some superglue on them in the affected areas they hold up perfectly well too.
-
I got the lastest version of the VM001 Hi suede.
I understand why some people are saying go TTS, the fit is slightly different to where it doesn't feel super roomy. However, I tried a half size down and the shoe fit way better and more snug. Even if it feels a hair too snug, I know the shoe will eventually stretch out. I ended up going half size down; definitely try on multiple sizes before purchasing.
So far these shoes are a definite upgrade from the previous versions. They really remind me of Converse CONS back when they used Lunarlon (although I'm not going to claim CloudyCush performs 1:1 to Lunarlon, it's just the closest comparison I could make).
I'm still weary about the sole longevity, but time will tell.

Been skating Vans since the checkered tag ones came out three years ago. I really like the way they skate. Especially fond of the slip ons. Am I going to be bummed if I get a pair of 001s? How comparable are the two brands now that they use similar Vulc with a drop in insole designs?
is the last resort insole more or less supportive?
I only ask because money sux.
Thanks.

Vans Slip-Ons have a quite wide toebox. Last Resorts are the polar opposite. They’re very narrow.

The grip wears really fast on last resorts and the insole is a lot thinner. They're generally not very durable and the suede bags out a lot too.

I used to skate Slip-on pros, then moved to skating LRAB when D1 came out. I'd describe them as beating Vans at their own game, so more boardfeel, grippier rubber, a little narrower and more pointy. I've never had the foxing peel away from the outsole either like it did on half my Vans. Before D10 they were very hardcore in terms of boardfeel to cushioning ratio, but the new insole makes them more in-line with Vans and I've been jumping out of things with no problem. Maybe marginally less arch support than Vans but I think I prefer that. As loads of other people say, the tread pattern wears off fast, but I don't think it makes them any less grippy since you have more griptape contact on a bald sole.
Edit: The suede ones do get a little floppy. If you're willing to do a little bit of Shoe-gooing the canvas ones are way better imo.

I'm not satisfied with the quality of the shoe, especially since I had to pay $100 for them (some of the good vulcs and cupsoles on the market cost much less than this).
Sole still wears out fast, albeit not as fast as the old versions but still isn't long lasting. I've had my pair for about 2 weeks and the sole is nearly bald and I found my feet slipping off my board half the time.
Insole is alright. Definitely meant for low impact skaters, but they aren't glued to the shoe anymore so you can easily replace them with whatever.
Suede quality is fine, but the dye isn't. The color is already extremely faded to where it looks like I've been skating the shoe for months.
The toebox is much narrower than Vans and won't give you much wiggle room, if at all.
Since you really like the current skate Vans, I think you'll be really disappointed with Last Resort. My pair felt really nice for first few days and then went to shit afterwards. I put on my old Half Cabs today and was instantly reminded why I used to wear Vans a lot prior to looking at other shoe brands.
-
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.
-
Really appreciate it.
-
Really appreciate it.
with the new insoles and for a discount, i would give these still a shot if you like them. they seem to skate well for most people that are into vulcs like that. just don't expect to get a premium experience compared to a vans skate line model. i think they are overpriced for what they deliver on the performance front, i'm still happy i have mine. they are reasonably comfy enough to be worn as chillers and it's just a good looking pair of shoes. i think the price is more justified if you are a lot into the looks and just want to support a smaller company.
i feel like my first comment sounded more bitter on them than i actually feel, but that is because in europe these are cheaper and often go on sale, but i judged it as a hypothetical 100+ bucks shoe. i feel like they belong in the 70-90 price range, maybe 100 for the cupsole model. i got my pair for around 50 euros. and for that price, even with the weird sole peeling, they are totally fine. they feel like upgraded chucks to me.
-
If people didn't talk them up so much I wouldn't be as vocal about their weak points, of which there are many. Seriously the best thing going for them is how they look, you can wear them with almost anything. The two pairs I had felt horrible after only a few days of walking, I didn't even skate them. The canvas on my pair tore after a week, once again not skated. The suede was really floppy after a week aswell. The grip is so shallow I couldn't walk over metal on the the ground as the shoes slip and skid over that material. I don't have the same problem in other vulcs. I'm still very keen to support them in the future if they can get the durability issues sorted out.
-
i'm in a couple of months of skating my vm001 suedes in mustard and i have zero complaints so far.
the sole and the suede both hold up really well, the grip and flick both are still very good.
my only complaint is the sizing issue which they seem to be taking care of and maybe a tad bit the weak heel lock.
but i also bought mine for 40 bucks, so there's that. i would definitely buy them again, especially for this nice price.
-
i wear size 12 in vm002 suedes
do i go with 12 or 13 for the leather vm004s?
dont think i get a chance to try both sizes so any help helps
-
I'll also add that here in the UK they're a similar price to Vans so that's what I'm comparing them to when I big them up. If I was paying US prices I'd probably just get Vans. They're definitely not a $100 shoe or whatever you pay.

NgL I bought the vm003 dancer model as chillers and was surprised at the canvas tearing and sole peeling from just walking. Retired them after a few months of just wearing, never skated.
-
I’ve skated the newest drop of the vm001’s casually a handful of times and the foxing tape is already separating from the suede at the flex point in the toe area, and the outsoles feel so slippery compared to my spanky ksl g6’s I’ve mainly been skating in. Pretty disappointed in last resort now. $90 full price at the local ain’t worth it when these are lasting like some shitty Vans quality from a decade ago :/
-
Doesn’t seem like something they would make, but with that said I would prob cop anyways. Perhaps a custom 1 of 1 for Pontus, or they’re working on a slip-on, or it’s a late April Fools joke?

Do we know any details on the cupsoles other than what you can see in the pictures? Like what the midsole/insole setup is like? I’d love some kind of cushioned midsole in there, but I’d be surprised to see it. Hoping it’s at least not too thin in the sole.
They must be coming out soon now - have any skate shop pals gotten to see them in person yet? Would love to know what the first round of colours will be if anyone knows that (we’ve seen olive/black and black/black so far, but I’m hoping for white ones for summer).

Cup sole has been needed for over a year, but from what I am led to believe the cup sole won't probably be out until FW23.
I still haven't bought a pair of LR but I haven't been hearing hot things lately. Unsure where the brand is really going at the moment.

Has anyone here wore all the way through the sole? I have a pair that have worn the tread pattern away down to some wavy horizontal lines but still not all the way through. Still skate fine like this for me.

Jim Greco is gonna sue, or get on the team.

I like their team and I like Polar, but I really can't get behind LR. Had a pair of suede VM001s and they were honestly one of the worst pair of skate shoes I've ever owned. Sole was barely staying glued and like clear coat was flaking off, and the insole was so so so bad (I know they have insoles now), along with the fit and finish being suspect. For the prices they sell for I was massively underwhelmed.
Also, in what context do you wear a loafer with a vulc shoe? a bit weird to me for a shoe brand that prides itself on simplicity and basic silhouettes to do a gimmicky, ornamental loafer mashup. idk
/rant. Def buy them if you like them, but I can't get into them. I respect a skater-owned brand, but even still I think I'd rather just skate some emericas or something if I wanted a simple shoe

100% agree. I want to like the shoes but I just can't, they're just not worth the money.
As for the loafers, I assume it's more of a lifestyle shoe instead of a skate shoe (but it's still skateable). I'm interested in it for that, but I assume they're going to use the same sole which I hate.
-
I skated a few pairs of VM001 before and liked them but now that I've been on some better structured cupsoles, I really dont see going back. I put my old LR highs on foot and they felt very flimsy compared to something like 440s.

I get the impression that the people complaining don't skate thin vulcs very often. The fundamental idea isn't "be indestructible foot pillows" like some people seem to be upset about them not being...it's to have a shoe with good boardfeel that skates well and looks good and I think LRs definitely do that and do it pretty well. The 3 pairs I've had have all had great flick and held up really well, and not just for a vulc. They take a while to break in because the suede is thick but once they do they're comfortable enough that I wear a pair to work every day and have been doing so for 3 months. They replaced numeric 272s for me and I prefer the LRABs in every area except stock insole, but I replace those in every shoe anyways.

This is about right, some of my friends are surprised I daily wear LRABs without swapping the insoles, but coming from a lifetime of Vans Authentics they're actually fairly comfortable. If I skate a pair, I usually swap in a Vans Ultracush insole but I'm excited to try the new LRAB Cloudcush (Just waiting for a good colorway).
I just bought some DC Kalis Vulcs and i was blown away that they're SIGNIFICANTLY thinner than my LRABs, both in the sole and in the toe. Really surprised me, you feel everything. Will probably do an insole swap in them at some point.

not sure if brought up but i picked up a pair of the Milic's and realized the size 12 actually fits a bit better than the VM001. anyone notice a slight difference with these? normally i would get a size 11 or 11.5 but not a lot of extra toe room here compared to the VM001 12

It's because the insole is thicker. The actual shoe should fit around the same as the vm001

i'm in a couple of months of skating my vm001 suedes in mustard and i have zero complaints so far.
the sole and the suede both hold up really well, the grip and flick both are still very good.
my only complaint is the sizing issue which they seem to be taking care of and maybe a tad bit the weak heel lock.
but i also bought mine for 40 bucks, so there's that. i would definitely buy them again, especially for this nice price.
I get the impression that the people complaining don't skate thin vulcs very often. The fundamental idea isn't "be indestructible foot pillows" like some people seem to be upset about them not being...it's to have a shoe with good boardfeel that skates well and looks good and I think LRs definitely do that and do it pretty well. The 3 pairs I've had have all had great flick and held up really well, and not just for a vulc. They take a while to break in because the suede is thick but once they do they're comfortable enough that I wear a pair to work every day and have been doing so for 3 months. They replaced numeric 272s for me and I prefer the LRABs in every area except stock insole, but I replace those in every shoe anyways.
Absolutely. The way I see it there's a slider with "Big chunky protective cup sole" at one end and "Thin vulc with a ton of boardfeel" at the other. You can't have one without sacrificing the other and Last Resort have basically gone off the edge of the chart in the "Thin vulc" direction so they're obviously not for everyone. Personally, I have a way better time skating a thin shoe because I'm more consistent and a lot more confident that I'm actually going to land what I'm trying, whereas with a chunky shoe everything is a little less predictable and I eat shit way more often. It's the equivalent of me getting a pair of dunks and being upset that they don't have enough boardfeel.

My goodness, those look kinda ugly to me. Where the heck should my toes fit in those? ;D
-
Heel lock looks promising
But man those things are ugly.
I get they're doing the whole plain look and all, but I'm really just not a fan.
I may still try them out of curiosity and want to support a cool company.
Really hope they make another cup
-
Yeah for me the proportions look way off, I was looking forward to see what they did for the cupsole, but that’s just not for me

shoulda just done a vm001 with that cupsole tbh

-

100%
Anyway I think they will look miles better with a full suede option in the same colour. Also no white outsole on the first drop is kinda weird...
-
Not really feeling the cups. They remind me of Duffs but worse. I agree they would probably look a lot better in all suede.
-
I think y'all are being quite harsh on the cups, it's not like the toe on the vulcs is any better!
If they bring out the all blacks in vegan, I'll probably cop, but I'd also like to know a bit more about the construction of the cupsole itself
-
The way the upper attaches to the sole looks pretty bad, seems cheap even. My gut is that I don’t like them but maybe they look better on foot.
-
I’m excited for the cups but the colorways lately are killing me. First the milic shoes and now these three. Give me something I can wear…

kinda airwalkish? at least the green colorway?

Yes pretty sure it's the same first colours as the og enigma (but with suede and leather reversed) and very similar looking sole. The toe is a bit similar to Tony hawk's first Airwalk model (which itself is similar to the enigma just lower) so maybe they had Airwalk on the mind when designing

They replaced numeric 272s for me and I prefer the LRABs in every area except stock insole, but I replace those in every shoe anyways.
This is about right, some of my friends are surprised I daily wear LRABs without swapping the insoles, but coming from a lifetime of Vans Authentics they're actually fairly comfortable. If I skate a pair, I usually swap in a Vans Ultracush insole but I'm excited to try the new LRAB Cloudcush (Just waiting for a good colorway).
I just bought some DC Kalis Vulcs and i was blown away that they're SIGNIFICANTLY thinner than my LRABs, both in the sole and in the toe. Really surprised me, you feel everything. Will probably do an insole swap in them at some point.
i’m not into polar/pontus everything, it’s been a bit much over the last 10 years.
but i really like the logo, and the lack of branding. the shoes tend to look nice.
i have the 3’s, and i’ve never skated them, soles started to pucker and separate from the upper, after i had to (unexpectedly) walk/jog almost 10 miles in them. the shoes are still functional and comfortable.
i’ll most get another pair of their shoes, they go with what i wear (501s, t shirt), and look age appropriate, or rather i don’t feel like i look like i’m trying to dress overly youthful.
those cups are different, and i’ll take it. i’m tired of the options we get, these are something new.
i too have concerns about the construction, and would prefer vegan.but i’ll give those a try when possible

You guys are really that bummed on the cupsole? I think they're sick. Very early/mid-90s inspired which shouldn't be a surprise if you're a fan of Pontus' aesthetic. Spot on with the Enigma/Etnies Intercity comparisons. I don't know, maybe it's just because I also like that era but I think they're dope and also a nice change from what else is available out there.
Also a toe cap like this is far more functional than smaller toe caps where the seam is at the exact spot where ripping occurs.
And for everyone saying the proportions are way off or that they should have done a cup VM001, this actually has the exact lacing proportions as a VM001, but it has a toe cap.
Fair enough if you're not really into the looks of them, but I mean what did you expect from LRAB?

For me it's the color blocking and the leather. I feel like if it were suede or canvas it would look a lot more solid. The black ones look great, remind me of overpriced designer sneakers.

I like them too, but I think the leather looks really shiny on the most recent photos, which makes it look kind of low quality/cheap. I haven't seen anyone else say that, but I wonder if that isn't hurting the initial response on Slap. If they do an all suede version or even suede and canvas, it'll probably look like a higher quality shoe, and more like their other shoes. The LRAB cupsole in navy or brown suede with white stitching and a white sole would be the exact right kind of 90's nostalgia.

dammit i was getting hyped to be THE one who mentioned that i liked these, whilst everyone else whinged on.
lrab’s look great to me. i haven’t skated them much, usually just skate dunks, but that’s more for my foot shape/health, than the look. dunks are really tired, and look worse on someone of my advanced age. so i’m hyped for these. their shoes, with what i think is a cool logo, almost no visible branding (fuck you lakai take a note), just look nice. and these cups are funky enough that they don’t look like some shoes that some rich dickhead would wear.
just went to the park early, so then there is other old guys there, and dude rolls up with conservative/privileged comments, (did clean the park), brand new vans and a weak ollie. vans are so sick if you used to skate.
my vm003s, canvas, the sole started separating from the upper, just little puckers, from walking around. they still look better than vans/dunks tho.
-
Me fucking with LRAB was kinda short. Loved how the VM003 looked, but after wearing them for a couple of weeks my heel Spur is flaring up again. Haven’t had trouble with it the last two years. So I’m going back to more cushy shoes.

I was surprised how great the cups look top down as I thought they look like complete ass.
Funny how they’re still claiming non-pebble collecting soles with the cups. The groove in the outside perimeter of the sole is bound to collect a bunch of pebbles. This is what happens to me with all cupsoles that have the same design at least.

idk but I don't think that's suede all over. I believe that's the grey from a few posts back with off white-ish leather. Maybe the lighting of the picture makes it look closer in color or they look better once worn in a little.

The cups just showed up at our store, I got hooked up with a promo pair. Been wearing them around for about an hour or so.
They definitely fit a half size small. I had to half size up (8.5 to 9) and they still feel a little short on my bigger foot, but that might just be the shape. I tried a full size big and they were definitely too big. My homie had to half size up as well (10 to 10.5) so that's probably consistent across the size range.
Besides that, they feel really good. I thought it was going to be an ultra thin cup like an Accell Slim but it's thicker than that. Not too thick. Actually feels in the perfect range of a cupsole thickness to me. Proportions are good. Not too slim to wear with baggy pants, not too bulky. Lots of people have been wondering about the heel lock, I feel locked in. They're also fairly wide. I have thick feet in height so across the thickest part of my foot lots of shoes dig in weird. These don't.
The leather in the on-foot pic looks shinier than it does when you're actually holding them and looking at them.

For sure. I tried on the VM001s and the Millics at the shop here to be sure (I thought you said you had Millics) and 8.5 fit me good in them. Actually felt like both 8.5s in those had a bit more room than the 9s in the cups. To be honest after a couple more hours in the cups a half size up is even feeling tight for toe room. I think they'll break in fine though and another half a size was for sure too big.

Like butter baby. Not stiff at all.

Has anyone had issues with soles coming completely separating from the vulc wrap? Was skating a pair of vm001s from drop 10 today and noticed my sole flopping around.

I'm an 8.5 in all three VM’s (haven’t tried millics), so you’re saying I should prob go with a 9 then @Watson ?
For sure. I tried on the VM001s and the Millics at the shop here to be sure (I thought you said you had Millics) and 8.5 fit me good in them. Actually felt like both 8.5s in those had a bit more room than the 9s in the cups. To be honest after a couple more hours in the cups a half size up is even feeling tight for toe room. I think they'll break in fine though and another half a size was for sure too big.

thanks for the write up, one q for u - how stiff is the leather?
Like butter baby. Not stiff at all.
great news, very stoked

does anybody else think these shoes just look like overpriced walmart shoes?
i cant justify them
a lotta people saying theyre the pinnacle of simplicity, but i just dont see it
the wavy stitching just looks stupid to me
the shoe also looks like it only fits a narrow foot well
Dude it’s super hard for me to make a decision on if they’re dope or not I see on foots and like em tho so shiiiii

I agree, for me makes no sense to spend that much on a sock with laces. Sure they look good in general but those cups look like a toddler shoe.

i wear a 10 in vm003s and got a 10.5 in the milic and it's still a bit snug, fits lengthwise though so i don't know if i would have sized up. ftr, 10.5 is my all around size in most shoes these days
-
After seeing the cupsoles in person and trying them on (needed a full size up) I just wasn’t feeling them. I skate the VM001 all day every day so maybe I’m just not the target for the CM001?
-
LRAB should pay you for those pics Watson because they look a lot better than some of their official promo stuff.
Yeah fo sho, definitely look a lot better presented in those photos. Especially as someone who wears baggier stuff I thought they might be a bit too slim. I dig the Enigma sort of ode with the colour way.
Okay, I’m down like a clown as soon as they drop a vegan cup
I'm used to skating bulkier cupsoles but usually find any cupsoles with a decent insole are fine enough. So might give them a whirl down the line if they drop a decent vegan option, then.

I have been dreaming of a more "foot shaped" skate shoe (i.e. wide) for some time and I'm wondering if the cup model is that shoe. I always struggled flicking with popular super pointy skate shoes that everyone else seemed to love.
Can anyone with the cup model do a good top - down view or attest to the width of the toe box?

Just picked up the new LRAB cups, shout out to Kingswell. Crazy how comfortable they are. Ugly as fucking hell.
These are size 12 which is what I wear in VM001-2-3 so it's been relatively consistent for me. However, they're definitely slightly snugger than the rest of the line, so some of y'all may need to size up if you're borderline. Visually they look a little funky on foot like they're a little puffier? Haven't placed it yet. To the earlier question, I think visually they look like a wider toe box, but I don't know if that's actually true, the proportions just make it seem that way. Tbh I think the VM003 has the most space in the toe/widest toe box.
Excited to skate them for sure.

i have the blue suede two toned high tops and love them, but i saw the black milics in the wild and they looked bizarre imo
the contrast between the two materials is too much, like the suede part is very matte and dull (in a good way) and the leather part is so shiny it looks weird together

That's the one thing that's kind of bothered me with the cupsole, it's at the pricepoint of the sambas but the shape of the toe cap seems like it drive me crazy.

Update: after the first session the toe cap is tearing on me pretty bad. It ends right where I ollie and the suede is super soft so I’m worried they may not make it through the month which is a bit of a bummer. I’m going to superglue the stitching and maybe reinforce with some shoe goo right where my Ollie’s hit. I’ve had this issue with other shoes like accells so I’m not totally surprised but I’ll probably just stick with VM001/VM003 after this. The benefit of VM001 to me is that the toe is just all suede and is super durable. No stitching or layers to tear. I’m going to put another session on them today so I’ll post some update photos.

Yeah if you put a little bit of super glue on the stitching before it’s gone it’ll make them last 10x longer.
The toe cap ripping has been the only flaw with this shoe for me.
they need to make a vm001 with the cupsole. Would be the perfect skate shoe imo

Yea, aside from jumping around topics, good lengthy read. Still want to try the. We insoles/cushioning.

Haven't ventured to far into the world of vulc in the past couple of years. I figured since its summer and I'm skating more transition this season it would be ok to dabble. I've been getting a lot of shark bite so i wanted some mid/hi tops to help with that. Pulled the trigger during that Orchard sale and got a pair of Vm001 His in the old red color.
hyped to see whats up with them. They should show up tomorrow...

Fresh grip? Maybe. But their quality is often questionable

i'm abroad right now, and i went into a local shop to see what kind of products they carry out here. i saw these on the shelf and decided to throw them on for shits and giggles.
i wasn't even trying to cop anything, but these shoes felt well-made and were mad comfortable. just walking around, they're some of the most comfortable skate shoes i've tried. so i ended up grabbing these.
sizing was weird though. i've had pairs of the vm001s and 002s, and i do a 1/2 size down from my normal size, and they fit good, albeit a little bit snug in the toe box.
for these cups, i went a full size up from my vm001 and 002 size. tts runs short lengthwise for me, didn't even try 1/2 size down. i could feel my toe just jamming into the front of the shoes when walking around. full size up fits well, a hair roomy in the toe box but pretty neligible. im gonna chill in these until i'm done skating my louies. these were priced lower than the milics here for some reason.

Trying to figure out the drop/upgrade situation with LR. I have a pair of VM001s from drop 8, I sized down more than any other shoe (US 8 in LR vs US 9 in Adidas / 9.5 in New Balance) and while they are snug, I really like them to skate in. However, the soles are going bald super fast. I'm very down for what the brand is doing so I'd like to stick with them, but trying to figure out several things.
- From which drop did they upgrade the rubber compound?
- From drop 10 they have the new insole, is the consensus half a size up from what you previously had for a similar fit?
- WTF is the sizing situation with the CM001? I'd like to them to homefully get some more sole durability, I would say my 'regular' size is probably US 9 but I have fairly narrow feet...

Drop 8 is when the rubber compound was upgraded. Someone told me that previously it was size down for LR, after the 10th drop it went TTS, and now the cupsoles are half up. Honestly if you dip back a few pages you'll see the same issue with sole wear, and I've heard non-skaters are having similar issues with separation.

Hows the grippiness of the outsole of the cupsole compared the vulc?

Appreciate it, thanks for the info. I would probably half-size up in my next pair then or go straight for cups, but I have nowhere local to try them on. I still really like the ones I have but the insoles are pretty horrible. They still seem to grip ok when they start going bald, it's not ideal, but they work for now. What do people mostly use to replace the old stock insoles that isn't too thick? Looking at grabbing a pair of G6 or something but then again, these might not last long enough to make that worthwhile.

I had two pairs of VM001 from the very first drops and they felt good in my normal size. Now I cant wear my pair of VM001 from drop 6. I love the hi tops but the sizing sucks for me.

Honestly you could have an entire thread dedicated to insoles, it's really a matter of personal taste + daily necessity. If you're like me and work on concrete all day, you need something thicker. If you're just walking around for a few hours, you can probably get away with something thinner. I don't see G6 insoles as being any better or worse than something you can buy off the shelf at the grocery store.

Sizing is a bit weird on the CM001 for sure. I tried US8.5 and US9. My true size is probably 8.5 (Vans/Nike) but the 8.5 felt like it would need to stretch a decent amount to fit but the 9 feels too big. The difference should be minimal but the 9 feels very roomy in the toebox, overall volume wise (though the length is correct). I actually think the cups probably fit a slightly wider foot better than narrow feet and there seems to be a big size jump (US8.5->9/EU41->42). Might see if an 8.5 will stretch because I'd like to have some cups. FWIW I use a US8 in the pre-cloudy cush vulcs, so half to a full size up from those seems about right.
-
(https://i.imgur.com/cuo4GD1.jpg)
Sold enough old shoes to snag a pair of these. I went .5 size up and I can definitely see why people want to go a full size up. 1/2 a size up fit me quite nicely. I think a full size up would have led to some heel slip.
Got my eyes on a tan pair next…

What’s the sizing on the new VM003? I’m normally a size 10 in Vans etc.

What’s the sizing on the new VM003? I’m normally a size 10 in Vans etc.
This isn't a perfect answer because I've only skated the newer VM001/VM002 but since they changed up the insole, I am now the same Vans/Last Resort size (US 8.5). I was going half a size down in the same shoes previously. For added context, I usually skate a US 9 in New Balance/Adidas.
-
Yerr. Noticed that people are pretty confused with the sizing so wanted share my thoughts on it.
I'm now skating my second pair of the CM001 and they fit perfectly for my feet. I have a pretty wide foot especially in the middle but my heel and top of the foot are pretty slim so the snug fit of the shoe works perfect.
Also I have pretty delicate heels, which is why I only skate cupsoles, and the new insoles are working pretty fucking great. I've had a couple of vulc ones with the old insoles and the new ones are definitely better and I haven't even considered changing them to something else. I have US9.5 on basically every shoe on the market and the same size in the CM001's. If you wear them for a couple days prior to skating them, they'll be alright if you don't want any unnecessary room when skating them. The shoes are also pretty fucking durable and hold the proper level of stiffness through their life-cycle. I usually have to change shoes every 3 weeks and these lasted for a good month and half.
Thanks, that's enough rambling. I def recommend them. Best shoe to come in years. Peace.

Super pleased with the way these are holding up. I was worried about the toe cap initially but aside from the initial tearing around the stitching it's been super durable and hasn't torn much further or pulled up. Cloudcush insole is a huge improvement and the sole even seems to be a bit more durable as well without any loss of grip.
I wear 12 in ALL LRAB models. Some run tighter (VM001 Canvas, CM001), some are roomier (VM003), VM001 Suede is pretty much perfect. I'm loving the CM001 though and will probably buy another pair

You're under no obligation to give these details, but:
- Do any of them not have a black sole? (I don't personally care, but I know that's a hot topic on Slap)
- If there are any with a non-black sole, is the outsole a different colour (i.e. white with a gum outsole)?
- Is there a primarily white pair?
- Is there a pair that is entirely white suede with a gum sole? (Jason Lee's signature doesn't have to be on the tongue, but it's fine if it is)

if it is one of the newer drops that came with the new "cloudy cush" insoles, then you should be fine.
the older models which I own 2 pairs, I went 1/2 size down. I've swapped insoles which made the shoes more snug so that's always an option if you're worried about them being too big

Ive only skated my green pair twice, so far they skate very nicely, I think they are worth giving a shot especially if you are in the arena for a cupsole thats a bit of a different vibe than most of the others.

Question for the LRAB regulars. Do the new models with the insole have worse heel lock than the OGs? I ask because the milic was too loose off my heel to skate in (but tight everywhere else) but I just tried the old gator skin VM001 and heel lock and width felt perfect. Not sure if it’s just a depth thing.

Question for the LRAB regulars. Do the new models with the insole have worse heel lock than the OGs? I ask because the milic was too loose off my heel to skate in (but tight everywhere else) but I just tried the old gator skin VM001 and heel lock and width felt perfect. Not sure if it’s just a depth thing.
I definitely liked the fit of the shoe with the original insole better. With the new insoles they are a bit too snug, and my foot is too high in the shoe.
but they do eventually pack out and feel pretty good once they break in.
I’ve just been re using my broken in insoles in new pairs and they are pretty much perfect. Or put the insoles from CM in the VM since they are slightly thinner.

I'm have just tried some (suede) VM002s with the new insole. I like them but they are a little bit too snug despite being half a size bigger than I wore with the old insole (8.5 with new insole, 8 with the old one) Edit: If someone is in the UK/EU and wants to take them off my hands, I'll do a pal a good deal.
I wanna try some canvas VM003s but not sure whether to go 8.5 or 9. Does the canvas 003 fit any wider or different from the suede 2 or 1?

the only lrab’s i’ve had, are the VM003, canvas, lows. good shoe. went tts, a little loose in the heel. very good shoe. i never feel loud and annoying wearing them. the sole has puckered away from the upper, very early in my owning them. i only wear them for walking around and such, haven’t skated.
actually i did have a pair of the first models, suede hi’s, and tts they were too sloppy. not sure if that’s helpful.

This color is my favorite so far.

I'd love to know how these things compare to dunks. I'd been skating LRABs since they came out and exclusively thin vulcs for well over 10 years, but I impulse bought some dunks recently and I'm really surprised at how much I like the way they skate. I'm compltely out of the loop when it comes to cupsoles, but if these have similar boardfeel/flexibility/support to dunks then I'm interested.

They have the old white and black canvas vm003 in 10.5, but they don’t have have any of the new colors of the canvas 003 in half sizes. Neither hi or low.

I have vm003's but but from an early drop with the shitty insole...Till I get new ones I customized them with a vans supercush sole from an old pair of halfcabs I had.It now feels awesome.Thx to Gifted Hate who dropped the tip on YT a while back.
-
For anyone on the fence about the CM001s, I really can’t say enough positive things about them. It’s only been a few sessions so I can’t speak to durability yet, but they have a great balance between support and boardfeel (and at least for me, they didn’t need to be broken in at all and were skateable right out of the box). They remind me of NB#440s in a lot of ways, but imo they have a superior flick.

I’ve only tried my pair on, but I’m an 8.5 in the VM’s and went up to 9 for CM but honestly wish I went with 9.5. I’m sure it’ll be fine once they’re broken in but I really think a whole size up in CM from VM is the right move.

did some digging and i'm finding the canvas hi full spray greens on other sites in 10.5 so maybe it's the sold out situation hopefully

If anything, I’d say they are (unfortunately) more arched… I have super high arches so this works well for me, but yeah, not for everyone…
And I’m a 9.5 and imo they fit TTS, but maybe I like my shoes to fit more snugly than most people.
-
Seems like I should have bought these instead of these shitty VM3's that hurt my feet and squeak all the time...
-
Just had some CM001 show up in the mail the other day. I usually skate an 11 in Vans and most other skate shoes but went to an 11,5 for the CM001s after hearing they run small. The 11,5 fits my foot perfect. Won't skate them until my current shoes are done, but keen to give them a try.
Got the all-black colourway, then the next day a new drop had classic black with white sole. I kinda wish I'd waited a day.
-
someone tell pontus to stop making these idiotic bastardizations of the vm001
-
My cm001 finally came in and I have to say definitely most definitely size up the padded tounge and different toe box shape makes this shoe feel more narrow and super snug I'm a 9.5 definitely should have got 10.5 maybe it's just me but if i would go up just half size i would have to wear without the insoles to make them comfortably fit just a fyi
I also noticed that the insoles are different from the milics there yellow and a bit thicker with some squish while the cup is blue and a bit firm
-
They used to have these too thin insoles. Now they have these thick yellow insoles, but the shoe size is the same. That's why the newer productions of the old models are all way too tight.
You should either go one size up or use different insoles.
-
Dunno about the look of the LR cups, but keen to see how they develop. They look a bit too much like orthopedic shoes atm

so i'm not sure those are even LRABs. looks like leopard print material that makes up the toe/tongue where you can kind of see it at the top of the tongue as well.the sole and the heel logo look different with sole having white rubber detailing? you can kind of makeout what looks to be a zipper on the inner left foot.
with the post not being an official lrab, maybe it was just a pair of beaters??
stealth edit: my teenage memory was jogged - logo looks like TUK shoes and i was able to track down the pair

Not those, the lows Chris Milic is wearing! You can only really see a peek of the toe bumper in the photo and in the video there's not enough detail to see much else. It definitely looks like the spitfire branding to me though.
Edit: Just seen the pictures above which match

I don’t love it, but that’s the exact spot my canvas vm003 tore and they were my least durable lrab pair I’ve had so far. If it makes them last as long as my vm001s or cm001s then I’ll get over it

I just picked up a pair of the D13 Milics and the insole on them has been slimmed down quite a bit compared to my D10 VM003s. I have no idea if this is new for D13 or not. I felt like I was missing boardfeel in my D10s so it’s a welcome change in my books. They seem to fit a little better too. (https://imgur.com/a/FLs1J6I)

Is the toe area only slimmed down? Seems better that way for the boardfeel

I think they’ve shaved a bit of height off the whole thing, but it’s hard to tell. My foot definitely sits a little lower in them than with the D10 insole.

idk who needs to hear this, but the cm001s are the best skate shoes on the market. skates so good and mad durable.
-
has anyone run the lrab socks with the bubbles on the heel?
Yeah, but I really don’t understand the point. It might minimize the empty space around the area above the heel of VM003 Highs. If it was a bit lower and cupped the heels, it would make up for the lack of heel padding. I don’t know what the practical reason behind the bubbles are, but they’re more comfortable than Polar, DLX, or HUF socks.

I was not a fan of my VM002s from early on (pre drop 10 updates) but the new insole, rubber change, and some new silhouettes I like the look of, I'm willing to give them another shot.
Also, is there anyway to identify Drop 10 and up besides just looking at the insole to see if it's leather or not? I can't justify 100 bucks for a vulc so I'm on the sale hunt, and it worries me that a few times I've seen the older drop shoes on sale that clearly don't have the new insole marketed as "Cloudycush insole" in the descriptions.

I don’t think there’s a way, so I always go for a colourway that’s exclusive to the latest drop just to be safe. The Milics or CM001 are safe because they didn’t exist pre D10, or you could check what specific colourways were in D10, 11 & 12 and look for them on sale.

It doesn't help when looking online, but each shoe has a number printed on the inside lining near the arch which indicates which drop it's from. Of course, if you're able to check for that number you're already able to tell whether it has the cloudy cush insole or not.

I ordered a pair of VM001 Black Suede from a shop's black friday sale to replace a pair I fully destroyed, when they arrived I checked and they're from drop 5. I'm a size 12 LRAB which probably don't fly off shelves, but I feel bad some shops are sitting on them this long....
On the bright side, more for me.

I feel like shops also ordered shitload of them first. Like first five drops every local i have got like every single colorway and they sit for a while. I do see them out skating quite regularly but the volume seemes like too much for small countrys skatescene.

Yeah my local stopped stocking them after about drop 5, but they show me and the other people who buy them a sneaky preview of the upcoming drop and order in whatever we want from it. It’s a win win win because I can get whatever I want, still support my local and they don’t have a load of extra stock sitting around.

Jesus that shoe is awful. Idk what Last Resort is doing, chill on these weird ass shoes.
They’re just low-top Wallabees that are skateable.

love last resort but why they always gotta make their laces hella long? the new cupsoles are very nice. <3

make the cupsoles in high top and i'll buy them for the rest of my skating days probably

ipath cats are legendary shoes, don't get the hate for these last resort homages. think they're gonna be kickass.

I know this probably got discussed a few pages back but how do the CM001’s fit? Local doesn’t carry LRAB but would like to give them a try.

Copy & Paste CM001 into the search bar for the thread to get your answer.. Hard to say, every foot is different but here is a start for you:
Just had some CM001 show up in the mail the other day. I usually skate an 11 in Vans and most other skate shoes but went to an 11,5 for the CM001s after hearing they run small. The 11,5 fits my foot perfect. Won't skate them until my current shoes are done, but keen to give them a try.
Got the all-black colourway, then the next day a new drop had classic black with white sole. I kinda wish I'd waited a day.
My cm001 finally came in and I have to say definitely most definitely size up the padded tounge and different toe box shape makes this shoe feel more narrow and super snug I'm a 9.5 definitely should have got 10.5 maybe it's just me but if i would go up just half size i would have to wear without the insoles to make them comfortably fit just a fyi
I wear 12 in ALL LRAB models. Some run tighter (VM001 Canvas, CM001), some are roomier (VM003), VM001 Suede is pretty much perfect. I'm loving the CM001 though and will probably buy another pair
Sizing is a bit weird on the CM001 for sure. I tried US8.5 and US9. My true size is probably 8.5 (Vans/Nike) but the 8.5 felt like it would need to stretch a decent amount to fit but the 9 feels too big. The difference should be minimal but the 9 feels very roomy in the toebox, overall volume wise (though the length is correct). I actually think the cups probably fit a slightly wider foot better than narrow feet and there seems to be a big size jump (US8.5->9/EU41->42). Might see if an 8.5 will stretch because I'd like to have some cups. FWIW I use a US8 in the pre-cloudy cush vulcs, so half to a full size up from those seems about right.
-

LRAB sizing is unlike other shoes in my experience, I’m a 9 in literally anything else but for LRAB I wear an 8.5 in all of the suede vulc models and am a 9.5 in the cups. I tried 9’s and they were too snug.
-
yeah i got cm001s TTS (12) and they're def on the short side. havent skated them yet but would 100% jam my toes up badly unless i grab some stretchers for them.
-
Just thought I’d mention, I’ve put a few sessions into the D13 Milics with the new slimmed down insole and I’d say they’re pretty much TTS now. They have way more boardfeel than the D10-12 insole but still enough cushioning to feel comfortable jumping out of stuff. They’ve made me realise how much I didn’t like the original thick cloudy cush.
-
So they went away from the cloud Cush insole? Or only on the milics? Haven’t paid attention to the details and specs in a bit
-

They still have the cloudy cush, they’ve just made it a little thinner, presumably because it made the shoes fit small. I posted a picture of them a couple of them a couple of pages back. I haven’t seen LR mention it anywhere, but I did see a review from a shop on Youtube saying it’s changed across all the models.

Do the CM001s kinda fit like the VM001s? I've got some VMs and love the fit, but want a cup. I've got super flat feed & the NB 440s arch is too much for me.

I think they should stick to simplistic designs. I don’t see the point in designing a tech skate shoe when you don’t have the resources like Nike/New Balance.
Maybe just my opinion, but I’d rather buy an NB if I’m in the market for a shoe that looks like that, since the comfort/quality will be there
The VM’s and First CM are all great though

Yeah, I agree actually, although I don’t think they really look that techie. I bet they’re basically just a CM001 with some ventilation. I can’t speak for NB because I’ve never owned any, but I bet the materials on these are better than on Nike SBs. I skated some Dunks and Blazers recently and I was surprised how quickly I blew holes in them!
-
There is a crazy sale on at the moment, got a pair of Vm001 canvas shoes for €33 delivered. Probably just for chillers as way to used to dunks for skating and haven't skated vuls in 10 years.
-
I think those techy looking cupsoles are the second good looking shoe to me from them. The CM 001 and these actually look "designed" and seem to be built better than their vulcs. All their vulcs look like disproportionate toddler shoes that were sloppily thrown together. The VM 001 highs don't look as bad as the rest of the vulcs, however.
It's sick to see LRAB branch out a little bit. I think it will do them well to have simple staples and then a one or two off that's more of a risk to serve more of their potential audience.
Lastly, if a shoe company can make an actual solid cupsole, then I have faith in what they're doing. Making vulcs is far simpler and cheaper from what I understand, so it's also a useful metric for how committed to making a quality product they truly are

12s in VMs are a bit big, in CMs a bit small. In every other show, just right. Will still be able to skate the CMs though I think. They’re definitely nicer on my flat feet than the NB 440 lows

not that it will change your mind, but i don't think they are cut any lower than the rest of the LRAB lows. flipping back and forth between images on foot and store shots isn't helping me solve that though
all that said, i'm wondering if they'll do a high/mid version

Not a direct answer but might help, I'm size us10 in dunks and Shane O'Neils shoe (which is EUR 44 for some reason in Nike). I ordered vm003's in size us10 (EUR 43) and they are way too big. I think even a half size down would be too big.
Edit: forgot I have GT blazer lows also in size us 10 that fit, but rub my ankle, like the sides of the shoes are too high or something.

Have I posted about my CM001d? Who knows but I love them. Easily a full size undersized but the most comfy skate shoe I’ve tried outside of a Vulc. My feet are super flat so NB440s killed my arch which sucks. But the CMs are flexy, great grip and snug foot shape fit. If I got a 12.5 (normally fit 11) they’d be the dream shoe.
Still think they look like orthopaedic bowling shoes though.

Sad because I've been eyeing a pair since they've come out, but I can't get over the fact that they lifted elements of the gazelle and samba, smashed it all together, and got something that doesn't capture the street-soccer vibes of the samba, nor the lad-terrace vibes of the gazelle. I want to like it.

It's a mish-mash of a bunch of previously existing shoes, but looks a lot like a samba. Something about it will always look slightly unfinished to me, and not cohesive. Also by lad-terrace I mean casuals culture.

Just weird color choices too. I got a green with black soled pair for $40, and if it was a gum sole it'd look way sicker. They're just chunky lil plump boiz but the feel is worth the slightly bodgy look. Gifted Hater recently said they're getting an overhaul and will be more 'tech' so maybe going a bit NBish?

yeah the sole alone doesn't give me samba vibes as much as the toe cap on a few toes resemble it

It's kinda funny how Pontus was on Emerica/Cons and you can see that influence throughout LRAB. This pair he just did looks like a modernized version of those early emerica/etnies shoes like the screw.

I think I saw them say in an Insta comment that it's D14, which my local shop has told me is March. They also responded to someone complaining about the fit with "D14" which implies they're going to change the shape of the toe or something for the suede ones. I'll definitely be picking up a pair if that's true.

The short toebox is what i love about it. Saw an image they posted on their story and the toebox looked slimmed down to look more like a vm001 or a vans classic. Bummed me out honestly.

I kind of wish I'd tried some, but I got scared off by everyone saying you should size up. I've never bothered sizing up or down with the VMs and haven't had any problems so I bet the CMs were fine.

probably been asked a million times but how is the general Last Resort cupsole experience? I'm gonna jump ship from soletech to LR but I've heard mixed things about the non-vulc models. Like I've heard they're pretty flexible but if anyone else has made the same jump regarding sizing etc.

For me they’re the best shoe I’ve skated. Just try them on if you can as 12s are usually a tad big on me and these are almost tight. Still love the feel of them though. Flexible, grippy sole, don’t hurt my feet. Love em.

Industry beef over ipath cats in 2024?

anyone have an idea when the all suede cm001s are gonna drop? Been skating the cm001 and they are easily the best fitting skate shoe I've had
I think I saw them say in an Insta comment that it's D14, which my local shop has told me is March. They also responded to someone complaining about the fit with "D14" which implies they're going to change the shape of the toe or something for the suede ones. I'll definitely be picking up a pair if that's true.
can i get a sizing comparison to say a dunk?
i really wanted the green ones because they looked great in the pictures.

I’m gonna read into things here, Ipath is coming back, and I would assume Matt Rodriguez comment about it coming again means Ipath will release the cats again.

I can't watch Karl Watson's Expedition Alone part and not want a pair of brown and gum cats.
-
I guess the thing Matt Rod replied to was the caption that says "many have tried.."
-
I've owned a few pairs of cats, but always felt like they fell short of how I preferred shoes to look. Since' Ive always liked wallys the cats were the only ones around at the time but if the Last Resorts were out at the same time, I'd never have bought the cats. The last resorts look almost identical to how a wally skate shoe should look in my mind and the cats look like an overpuffed small boot in comparison. Anyway, the market can stand both. But I can see why Matt replied based on the text in the first slide.
-
Is there any word on when the all black pair will come out? I hope they are in the first drop.
-
Ipath vs Last Resort is the beef I never knew I needed in my life.
-
i bought more ipaths than maybe any other shoe. i have fond memories.
outside of one pair of cats, and one pair of grasshoppers….most of the shoes were dogshit. they looked great, but my yogi’s were made out of plastic and cardboard. ridiculous.
the first wave of blue suede grasshoppers were really nice. my black grasshoppers were almost water resistant, just cheap painted low grade plasticky leather.
i’d buy any of them in a heartbeat.
the last resorts have a better shape. look rad. i’m stoked to try them.
i did have an all grey pair of mystics, and i’ve never looked better.
-
In fairness the ipath cats are just a rip off of Clarks wallabees. So not really sure where the finger pointing is coming from
-
The first ipaths were pretty bad, my hemp crickets tore in a week around all the seams. As time went on they got much better, my first brown cats and black leather grasshoppers skated great and wore out evenly if my memory serves me correctly.
Seemed like they had a different factory every season at one point. The last resort shoes are a great wallabee that’s skatable. But the cats are their own thing, some puff and a bit more structure under foot. There is
Room for both.

Pretty bummed to see that, and he does have a point, but he doesn’t really have a leg to stand on. The Last Resort version will be superior most likely.
Also, every boomer in the country has a pair of “Hey Dude”s; the “wallabee sneaker” is everywhere with or without Last Resort

So, the VM006 can only be bought directly through LRAB for the next six months?

I believe Ipath shoes were always terrible - for a hippy hemp fueled brand they certainly found the darkest sweatshops to exploit for cheap labour. Both pairs of Rodriguez signatures I grabbed had the toe stitching blow out from walking. If he is talking shit someone let me know, and I'll buy every colour.

They're doing a d2c soft launch I guess. People seemed to be a little caught off guard because they're in the catalogs but not slotted until far later. wonder if they're trying to get to market first so they pushed these up, as nobody I spoke to was aware of them launching before Fall. my assumption is that these will be very limited quantities, part of a push to create a tiered system as a lot of shops are having issues moving inventory. certain releases seem to go on their website first with shops getting them later down the road (or not at all, like this reptile pack that just came out). Don't know if shops are PO-ed or indifferent about this, considering the shoes are sitting at retail.

Yeah that sounds about right. My local stopped stocking LR because there are too many sale pairs floating around. The only shoes they keep in stock are Dunks, Blazers and whatever the latest Nike SB pro model is because apparently that’s all most people are willing to buy full price. I’ve also noticed that the UK doesn’t seem to get the LR site exclusives. They don’t have the reptile pack on the site here so I suspect we won’t get the Wallabees either.

The VM006 will apparently be in shops during the fall. There are certain colors of shoes that we also don’t get in the US. The Jason Adams pack and the leather colorways for the VM005 are only available directly through LRAB.
It’s kind of lame seeing companies promote shoes that don’t even make it to skate shops. I expect this kind of thing from Adidas. However, it probably has to do with logistics, since it’s only for the initial release(s).

Seems like a Pontvs kind of thing. It happened that here in CZ the local here in Prague pretty much built distribution from all this part of the continent and then Polar took distribution out for them to sell directly from their site.
No need to tell that pissed off a lot people who worked alongside Polar and felt back stabbed. Before you'd see a lot of Polar in Prague and now is a rare sight.

Understand that everything I'm going to say is conjecture. I only know a limited amount from the people I talk to and I might make a mistake here. That being said, I get a feeling that their strategy has shifted as a result of basically every shop having to put at least one pair of LRAB on clearance to get rid of them. Stateside, they're really at a disadvantage on the wall at skateshops when a lot of shops already have brands offering similar product like Vans, NB#, and Nike SB. Price wise, their shoes are really $60-80 shoes marked at $90-110.
I suppose how they could spin this is that they don't have enough inventory to supply shops, but a limited release builds up hype and anticipation by getting the product into some hands. There is potential for this to go wrong, however. If the shoes were rushed out of production and have defects, shops might have a difficult time selling the shoes. I believe orders for Fall had a deadline right before they announced this release, which is suspicious timing. If that's true, they're really not helping their case with shops. I wouldn't be surprised if they have some funny business with shops needing to carry LRAB to get Polar.
-
What do you guys reckon the sizing will be like on the VM006? Never tried last resorts but I’m definitely trying to get a pair of these. Should I assume they’ll be TTS? Doubt any local shops will have them available to try on
-
The plug told me the sizing will be the usual LRAB sizing, so 1/2 size down for a lot of people. However, they haven't tried them on yet so take it with a grain of salt. Should be 3 colorways on the website tomorrow

As a retailer who stocks last resort I’ve noticed the only shoes we sell consistently are the vm001 low and high in black/white. A few all black ones too but mostly that’s what people want. All the colors and different styles sell a little bit, mostly just on sale in my store.
The direct to consumer model is what most brands aspire to, more money comes in, creating a relationship with the consumer and training them to shop your website. They’re a small brand in a sea of monsters, having enough money to pay a team is hard.
Doing small drops that sell out is a smart move, creates demand. Flooding the market is a bad idea. Now when the brown/gum moc drops again it will sell out for sure.
Am I bummed we didn’t get a chance to order them? Sure, but I get it. I had to cut the majority of my prebooks to catch up on shoe sales, it’s a trend, too much product in the market place. Every shop is dealing with it.

I ended up settling on the black colorway as well, which at this point is mostly to test the fit and sizing. I’m really just holding out for the ipath reboot.
If there is another batch of these being released in the future in the same colors I’ll try again.

That’s kind of what I feel like I did, was I made a $100 gamble. My feet are odd anyways in that they are both different sizes and widths, so there is no real perfect fit.
I wouldn’t be upset if these end up being a hair too long.
@144p
Do you know if Last Resort often does a restock in these kind of limited runs?
-
This is uncharted territory, I can’t recall another drop that wasn’t done exclusively through their website. I haven’t seen them restock with a quickness on anything that has had hype, I’m assuming they will as they can see all the web traffic it created and would be smart to make another small run and sell out quickly.

Thanks for the info!
I suppose all it really boils down to is a “wait and see” situation. If this first batch sold so quickly I can’t imagine there not being another.
-
Probably the most hype LRAB has had in a while tbh, but I wouldn't hold your breath on a re-release anytime soon. I hate saying this and sounding like a broken record, but it's getting really difficult to justify their prices. With shipping to where I live, it would come out to $114.70 for a vulc shoe, and I almost did order a pair. Most of the shops I've bought from have cheaper shipping rates, and with their website being D2C you think they could at the very least offer free shipping.

I really dislike planned scarcity. Same shit Nike does with dunks and all these dumb fashion companies with their “drops” I’m just looking for a solid shoe I can rely on and keep buying. Maybe I’m being over sensitive but seeing this smug post by LR makes me not want to try these even when they are available.

I would think that <10% of purchases are buying these as actual skate shoes. Not hating, I think they’re an awesome casual shoe, but they’re not a performance skate shoe. Sorta like the VM003s, I’ve bought several pairs of those but I could never skate in them

Black and white ones look nice
-
Just tried on my VM006, and these are my first impressions/thoughts.
The quality seems quite nice, and the suede thick. Nothing really noteworthy to comment on about the stitching or anything of that nature. The shoes came with an extra set of waxed laces (flat), and the shoes themself are laced with a set of round wax laces. The laces feel sticky to the touch, and likely won’t have any issues coming undone while skating. The Insole feels squishy and more substantial than I anticipated.
Now, onto skating. I probably actually wouldn’t skate these just for the fact that you can only lace a shoe like this so tight. I do a lot of flip tricks and these don’t fit all that snug (due to the design). They also don’t offer a whole lot of heel lock, if any at all. I feel like the Ipath reboot will actually have the advantage here, as the extra material will likely help keep the heel snug.
I can’t really give input on sizing because my feet are different sizes. I’m often a 10.5 but I purchased these in 11. The 11 is perfect for my longer foot.
In conclusion I’m happy with these as chillers, but for my skating these would probably be a tad sketchy.
-
Agree with most everything above.
As far as sizing goes, I'm a 10 but usually on the smaller side of 10 and these fit me great. So if you're a large 10, and sometimes go 10.5/11 maybe go a half size up?
Only other last resorts I've gotten are some vm01's from drop 6, so I haven't felt the new insole before. It's a welcome addition in my book.

Oh sweet, the toebox doesn't look too different from the first model. That was my main concern, cause i love the shape of the cms but this pleather materiel sucks.

yeah looks like they rounded out the edge of the toe panel and the bottom of the eye stay though, which looks a lot cleaner imo. my old pair is a lot more squared off.

my vm003 canvas low tops are so comfortable. for walking and sneaking around.
they are somewhat frightening to skate in.
agree that the smugness is annoying.
i am certain it’s been listed, but what is the sizing like on the cupsole model? i’ll need to order by mail, without trying on. any help appreciated.

The cm001 runs slightly smaller than the vm003, so I’d say go a half size up from your vm003 size unless you like it snug.
For reference I wear 12 in all Lrab models but the cm001 is definitely a little snug. 13 would be too big though.
-
@BartHarleyJarvis
thanks!
i regret not getting the airwalk colorway.
i got 10 (same as what i wear in dunks etc) in my vm003s, in part because at the time i was talking a lot of shit on here about how it’s dumb to wear shoes that are too small. so i tried to live my lyrics and these shoes are loose as hell. but it’s kinda good because my feet are wide-ish, so maybe i was right to talk that shit.
i think i’ll order the 10 and hope to get lucky.
i like that the shoes have little branding.
-
Also, if you really plan to skate the vm06 moc toes, a careful application of super glue to the outside stitches will probably double the lifespan of the shoe. Since those are clearly the weakest point of the shoe.
Just make sure it soaks into the stitches a bit. If done carefully you probably won't even be able to tell they've got glue on them since the seam is tucked under.

I managed to make my last pair of canvas VM003s last 81 hours of skating and the average I get out of Vans is about 50 hours. My last pair of Orange Label Blazers got too floppy and unsupportive at 55 hours and they're supposed to be the best vulc on the market, so I don't know where this idea that LRAB fall to bits immediately comes from. Even the pairs from the first few drops lasted me around 60 hours.

Do you use super glue or shoe goo? I’ve skated canvas VM001 and VM003 from the earlier drops and they did not last as long as yours.
I wouldn’t say that the shoes fall to bits, but the sole separated from the uppers on the VM003. It happened twice but was fixable with super glue. Maybe, the glue loses adhesion as the years go by. They aren’t bad shoes but I would have been disappointed if I paid retail.

Yeah I shoe-goo the high wear ollie spot around my little toe before the first session and eventually I have to patch up the side. I think that’s pretty standard for canvas shoes though. Also worth noting that I only weigh about 8.5 stone so I’m probably not wearing out the soles as fast as most people.

are you using Strava to record the hours in your shoes or just tracking yourself? I’m not asking to make fun of you either, I think that’s pretty cool.

Considering skating in the CM's. I wear an 11,5 in the vm001. Should I size up to a 12 in the CM's? I got the impression from this thread that they run a bit snug.
Cheers!

are you using Strava to record the hours in your shoes or just tracking yourself? I’m not asking to make fun of you either, I think that’s pretty cool.
I just skate 2 and a half hours every Saturday and Sunday with the odd after work session everyone once in a while so it’s easy to tally up the hours. I started doing it years ago because I bought a pair of expensive shoes and wanted to know exactly how much they cost me per hour of skating, and I just never stopped doing it. Usually it works out to just over 1 hour = £1. I’m skating my first pair of dunks at the moment and I’m interested to see if they last me 110 hours.

Yeah the original ones went bald for me on about hour 10, the new rubber around 15-20 hours. I think they skate great, maybe even better with a bald sole though because it’s a very sticky rubber and you have more contact with the board, more board feel etc. If you’re throwing them out as soon as the tread goes there’s no way you should be buying these things lol.

I have come to realize rubber compound is more important to me than tread in some cases. The tiago 1010s barely have any grooves and have a lot of flat sections but grip very well for me throughout the lifespan of the shoe. Not that those are on the same planet as LRAB shoes.

I’ve posted this a bunch already but even with the treading wearing down quickly the soles remain very grippy in my opinion.
Also the folks asking about sizing for the CM’s I went an entire size up: 8.5 in the VM’s and 9.5 in the CM’s.

Anyone see Matt Rodriguez’s comment on those?
What’d he say?
What does “B P” mean?
Looks like the “B P” stands for, “Beautiful Planet.” A new shoe company from Japan (BP Trading) that seems to involve Matt Rodriguez, Matt Pailes and Bigfoot. Saw it today on Instagram.

Skatewarehouse daily dose is a pretty classy canvas VM003 colorway

Sucks that they’re apparently no longer interested in making canvas vm001 lows anymore. I would have kept replacing the black out ones I had basically indefinitely if they had stayed available.

Im a fat footed bastard and the VM003's fit me quite nice when I just go with my normal size.

This has probably been said before but in case it hasn’t..
I copped the VM001’s with the thicker insole. Board feel and cushioning feels identical to the Vans Sk8 Era’s with the cush insole.

anyone have an idea when the all suede cm001s are gonna drop? Been skating the cm001 and they are easily the best fitting skate shoe I've had
I think I saw them say in an Insta comment that it's D14, which my local shop has told me is March. They also responded to someone complaining about the fit with "D14" which implies they're going to change the shape of the toe or something for the suede ones. I'll definitely be picking up a pair if that's true.
can i get a sizing comparison to say a dunk?
i really wanted the green ones because they looked great in the pictures.
Don't know if you got the answer for this already. I've had US 9.5 (some dunks US9) from dunks and it's the same size from CM001. CM001 fit better for my feet overall because of the snug fit.
I've had a few pairs of the CM001 already and the sizing hasn't changed between colours or anything. Way more size variety when trying out vulc models. Example, I have the Dancer VM003 in canvas in US9.5 and fits perfect but the suede ones in US9.5 are too big.

I really dislike planned scarcity. Same shit Nike does with dunks and all these dumb fashion companies with their “drops” I’m just looking for a solid shoe I can rely on and keep buying. Maybe I’m being over sensitive but seeing this smug post by LR makes me not want to try these even when they are available.
These guys ain't Nike though, and I think they should be allowed to experiment and try new stuff without having to keep a shoe constantly available in their line for the long term. I don't see what's smug about it, personally.

Those laces look nice as hell. Easily the best colorway dropped for the cm001

i agree it's def annoying especially when ordering online.
thats being said tho, hopefully after this change for the CM's their whole line should be TTS or as close as possible (cant say for vm005s or 006s tho)

Just copped the all white suede CM001s. I really loved my first pair but the two tone green drove me crazy in footy…

It really makes no sense to buy from them direct if you're in the US. There are plenty of shops that carry them that ship for free and/or tax-free.

Totally, I would never buy them direct but oddly enough the shoes I were most interested already sold out in my size so someone is dropping $117 for them ;D

Apparently it was a limited release just to see if the demand was there. My shop has already pre booked them for summer.
-
They sold out hella quick.. I wasn’t expecting them to go live at 12am drop day, I checked in at 430am and they were mostly all gone (the brown joint I really wanted went first).
If anyone got the browns in 10.5 and isn’t feeling them, I’ll buy em off you..
-
Just got my CM001s from the latest drop. They definitely fit better than my first pair, slightly roomier in the toe than before. Definitely brings the sizing more in line with the vulcs I think

theyre actually vm003's. but thats sick. would be cool for a gx1000 guy to be on lrab

New drop looks really good. Some tempting options and colorways.

the white/white vm004s are crispy
a damn shame they are too narrow for my feet
-
got my first pair, way comfier than i was expecting and they are not nearly as narrow as i expected either. the seem to fit my feet perfectly. havent skated em yet though. the materials feel very different to anything else i have ever worn somehow. i got VM003 in brown
-
003 is easily my fav shoe out of the line up. That emerald green lo is calling my name
-
Is it still recommended to go a half sz down for the current drop of vulcs? Particularly the vm001 & 003

i'd say go TTS if you can't try them on. since they updated their insole in drop 10 they (001s/004s and 003s) have all been TTS in my opinion and inline with my shoes from other brands. not sure how much looser the canvas are compared to suede as i've only skated the suede ones. someone else could chime in on that i'm sure
-
seconded for TTS. everything from D12 forward will have the new insoles, which improve the fit.
-
005 are too small for me in my size. I would of half sized up now reflecting.
-
Can confirm the new CM001’s fit more true to size than the previous ones.

No half size up?

Ordered two pairs of LR, the CM001 and the Milic pro model, was really excited to get them. They came today. I can usually fit into a 13 from most brands if I loosen the laces. Can't even get my feet into the CM, the Milic I got on but it felt like I would lose circulation in my feet if I wore them for too long. Really bummed to have to send them back, they don't make a 14 so I guess I will have to stick to Cons and Adidas.
-

Yeah the new CM i got in my normal size and they fit good. Much better than the first version which were tight on the toes.
Also the toe cap is now glued so once you rip the stitching they are still held together. The pair i'm using now are holding up really well. I'd say its their best shoe atm

That's a bummer. I was keen to try the CM001 in a size 13. No one seems to stock them in that size here in Aus. I'm guessing I'd have had a similar experience. Surely there are more folks out there with normal sized feet to warrant making size 14s ;)

Really wanting to try the newer CM001 in my 13 tts. New drop / pics look good. Maybe catch a sale bc I don’t need more pairs rn

i think i like the cm001 more too if that's what you mean, but i'm sure they'll both stay in line for a while now that they just retooled the cm001. i'm surprised they strayed from their signature wavy eyestay but maybe it looked funny with that extra panel overlapping part of it.

i'm guessing these are final colorway samples so i'd think if not the next drop, the one after that unless they do some weird online only in between drops like the mocs

Damn those look sick. They are giving sorta New Balance vibes, but much cooler than New Balance.

Bummed to see they are making another low top cup.
The cm001 is great, a mid or hi top version of it is all they are missing from their line imo

Ideal scenario is they put out this new low top along with a cm001 high.

They seem TTS. I sized up to 11, and they felt a tad roomy (I’m 10.5 size for reference).

Went to the site at 855am pst. They were already live and sold out in size 8. Pretty bummed they wont release them in regular line. Pontus-2 me -0

Finally skated the CM-001 last evening, don’t know that I’ve ever skated a cupsole, maybe when I was much younger, but wow did I absolutely fucking hate it—no board feel and slightly higher off the ground which made me feel really unstable and messed up all my timing. It was really crazy going from a high top vulc to a low top cup, everything was different. The shoes look great and are super comfortable though. I work outside and walk around 7-8 miles a day and these are going to be perfect work shoes which I’m really hyped on, but I will never skate them again.

They arent that thick, are they? I read they have really good boardfeel for a cupsole but I'm yet to try a pair myself. I mean I jumped from Old Skools to Emerica G6s then 440 and 808 from NB and found out it wasn't too bad to adapt to cupsoles. I need to try the Cm001s.

Not really, but at least for me compared to the vm’s they were much thicker. I’m glad I tried them because now I know exactly what I like.

Skated the VM-006 today.
I was a little worried with how roomy they feel, even as a wider footed individual, but they started to feel more snug as they broke in.
These are a great shoe for wide footed folks. I actually half sized up on the second release to see if I can get a little more room in the toe, as I like to have a little bend or uplift in the toe box.
One thing I wish I hadn’t done (that was insisted here) is glue or shoegoo the stitching prior to skating. I probably should have seen precisely where they were going to wear from fliptricks first. It seems like most of the wear is actually topside as opposed to in the stitched area.
Anyways, I may have more to report back tomorrow after a proper session.

Got a pair of the moccas, i really like them, they feel well made and look very nice on foot
