@Llewellyn Moss Now having worn them for a bit and gotten a couple skate sessions in, I can wholly cosign the CM002 Mids (and the lows). To me, they feel like the most premium last resorts, all the materials seem really nice, and they're mega comfortable. They do not have tongue straps but the tongues on mine have not moved at all which is an issue I have with my VM001/VM003 Highs.
They're a thin cupsole so you're not going to huck in them but its a really good compromise of comfort and board feel. The collar is super padded and nice so your ankle feels really supported. The only nitpick I have is there was a pinch point on my right pinky toe where the suede was creasing during the initial break in but it went away really quickly (also, this did not happen with my Lows).
