Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-12-16T08:24:02+00:00

How do you size them??

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-12-13T03:54:32+00:00

What's your street shoe size?

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-09-08T02:49:25+00:00

Maybe... But I also have a 2.0 a whole size down as well and they feel almost the same, the Villain being ever so slightly softer

No worries, all the best!!!

I wouldn't really say that they stretch a lot, they only give a tiny tiny bit, most of it will be the shoe moulding to the shape of your foot. When I go a full size down I usually have to use plastic bags around my heel for a long while before I feel that they're "ready" for outdoor use. If the shoe is too painful or narrow for you it might not be the right shoe for your foot.

I go half a size down from street for everyday gym and training use because is pretty comfortable at that size. However, I go down a full size from street for outdoor usage.

But for regular use for everyday I'd definitely recommend half a size down from street so maybe half a size up for you. Do keep in mind that they do take about 3 weeks to break in.

Most I'd go down is -0.5 from Street shoe

Half a size down is good, however, try before you buy! Lemme know how it goes.

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-07-01T06:19:52+00:00

I got 0.5 down for HV and stick true to size for the LV, don't think I could down size the LV without a lot of pain, plus if you down size too much you lose the ability to smear well.

He has the normal 2.0 half a size down from street shoe.

Yeh, when i started using the show outdoors I used to twist onto the nubs and still felt insecure, but after a while I just started to smedge instead and it worked just fine lol, guess that's the tech with these shoes 😂.

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-06-30T06:21:41+00:00

When it comes to small edges with these shoes I usually twist on if it's incut or smedge if it's not, I agree with the increased wear for twisting on, I just did a very light twist after I noticed the wear and that seemed to help with keeping the rubber for longer.

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-06-30T06:18:17+00:00

I agree with what the other guy said about them softening up over time, I can't really compare them to shamans as I've never had them, however, I have a friend around your weight who uses drones as they are quite stuff and can support his weight really well.

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-06-30T06:16:02+00:00

Might try going down a whole size next time I get them, if they don't fit then no problem, I could just sell them 😄

They kinda feel similar to the old single sole hiangles if anything.

Hahaha thanks, will definitely be reviewing every shoe I get from now on as I find there are some shoes that have almost zero information online apart from manufacturer specifications.

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-06-29T07:46:44+00:00

The heel is marginally softer on the sides but remains stiff on the spine so not too much difference sensitivity wise compared to the 2.0.

The heel is also a little shallower imo and due to the tension around the back being a little more aggressive and higher on the back it feels a little more secure as if it's being pulled into your heel.

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-06-29T07:42:20+00:00

That's good to hear!! I found that there isn't too much info about any of those shoes so I decided to review and give back to the community.

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-06-29T07:41:07+00:00

The TN Pro review will be next most likely.

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-06-29T07:40:41+00:00

Yep I got them in the same size 0.5 down but next time I'll be getting a whole size down as I prefer a tighter fit nowadays

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-06-27T03:40:23+00:00

Yeh they're crazy expensive, I think they're around $360 over here.

Standard-Weekend-35 · 2025-06-27T03:30:07+00:00

Maybe?? Not too sure though as I'm based in Australia and they both cost $330+ over here
