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

It's the same wacky Cons sizing start at half size down and if you have low volume feet, we'll, crank the laces.

this. I have had 3 pairs and sized down 1/2 size each time, fit perfect

That's funny - I played for about 30 minutes before work this morning, and I did the same thing at that same exact spot.

Sorry if this has already been answered but i'm currently living somwhere where the closest skateshop carrying LRAB is about a 2h drive. So before I pull the trigger online i'd like to know a couple of things:

- been skating crockett's high for the past couple of years on a 9.5 size

- 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)

cheers!

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.

confirmed for any other lowvol footed slappers. and for anyone who cranks laces and hates how it looks on other shoes, lrab's look normal comparatively
nabbed some dancer versions and went with this advice, fit perfect

I can’t prove it, but the insoles in my VM003s are so much more comfortable than my LRABs from earlier drops. People have also said they’re easier to remove now. They must have done some sort of running change

they posted pics of insole samples a while ago, so maybe they already put them into the new batches.

Pretty sure they slightly upgraded the insoles and changed how they are glued in starting with this batch drop 7

Any sales going on in Europe? I'm all down to support LARAB but they could do with a sale on their website.

I just ordered a pair of canvas VM003 and a pair of canvas VM001s on sale. Loads of sales going on right now. Where are you at and what shoes are you looking for and in what size?

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.

Nice, welcome to the team. The VM003s are my go-to daily shoe now, they're more comfortable than I even expected.

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.

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).
