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
