I bought a pair of Veja V-12 white/Marsala/ Nautico a few days ago and wore these for a few days.Look: very stylish and luxe sneakers.Quality: I have only worn them for a few days and I don't think there are any problems.Comfort: I can't compare them to running shoes like New Balance (different field), but they are very comfortable, but they need a little time to get used to because the material is leather and it takes a little time to get used to it.Size: This is something to keep in mind. I wear a US 11 (JPN 29cm) in most manufacturers, I tried them on at the Nordstrom store and bought them, so I didn't have any doubts. 44 is just right for these sneakers, and I think I would have been lost in the middle size when I looked on the web. I strongly recommend ... MoreI bought a pair of Veja V-12 white/Marsala/ Nautico a few days ago and wore these for a few days.Look: very stylish and luxe sneakers.Quality: I have only worn them for a few days and I don't think there are any problems.Comfort: I can't compare them to running shoes like New Balance (different field), but they are very comfortable, but they need a little time to get used to because the material is leather and it takes a little time to get used to it.Size: This is something to keep in mind.

I strongly recommend trying them on, but in my opinion, the length is longer and the width is narrower.I hope this review will be of some help to you.

A fave

Recommended by Anna Bey.They fit perfect! Slightly large but provide extra comfort.Didn’t take long to break them in.I only wear them with bomba socks! The two just work well together for me.I wear them ALL the time I go out, super comfy.These are my nice casual shoes for shopping, casual restaurant, traveling, or work!I’ve seen a lot of fashionable women wear these in NY too so I had to try them, and so glad I did. Now thinking of buying a second pair.

Great looking shoe order a size up

Great looking shoe. This shoe runs very narrow. I purchased as a gift for my husband who wears a 10. Ordered the color Pumpkin. Had to return and purchase 3x’s to get his correct size. Ended up with a size 11. He loves them.

Had high hopes but...

I’m between an 8/8.5 depending on the shoe since I have narrow feet so I got the 8 since it says to size down. The shoes fit for the most part but there is definitely some sliding, wiggle room in the front by my toes. In addition, the shoe laces are as stiff as boards and not easy to work with especially since I had to lace mine and the tongue like everyone else has mentioned is so uncomfortable. On me it comes up night and rubs on my leg even with ankle socks on plus it has to be the roughest thing I have ever had rub with a shoe. For the price I’m disappointed but hopefully the toe with break in eventually since the shoes are cute to wear everyday.

Low quality

Shoes ripped within 2 months, I wore them once or twice per week. Very low quality. Would not recommend. Nordstrom was great about refund!

Pros & Cons, but totally worth it

Pros: SUPER cute and stylish, will go with any outfit, can be casual and dressed up a little, roomy on the inside (you MUST get a full size down), decently comfortableCons: Tongue is slightly uncomfortable (not that bad tho), need to be broken in, a little but stiff, not as supportive as say actual sneakers, shoes did not come laced (they had the laces just not laced and it was honestly a really big hassle to do it myself b/c the shoes are stiff and you don't want them too tight), can be hard to get on my footIs it worth it? YES. they are SO cute. 100% worth it for me.

Ran small for me/NOT like a unisex shoe

Buying shoes online...so the recommendation is to go down a size. Not true in my case. I wear size 10.5/11 (women’s shoes). There is no half size after ten which is typical. I ordered the 10. They were too small. I had to return and not exchange as 11s were sold out when I went back online to exchange. Needless to say I ordered another veja which is $10 more expensive in the size 11. So much of me thinks they will be too big. I will write a review when they come in. After size 9.5 sizing is pretty much a crapshoot and you just end up hoping for the best really. The shoes look beautiful though I must say.

Strange sizing and fit

I read a lot of reviews regarding these shoes but wanted to give it a try as a birthday gift to my husband (He likes orange color, and these looked so good in the pumpkin color in photos!). He wears 9.5 all across the board, almost no exception. For this Veja V-12, I had to choose 43, as the 42.5 (for US 9.5) wasn't an option. However the shoes were too long. They also felt heavy. And like a few other reviews (on other websites) said, the tongue is ridiculously long and it cuts into the ankle area. My husband said they also felt strange at the sole - too low in the heel area and uneven. Overall we were disappointed. If the shoes fit, I think they can still look cute. (They look a bit vintage-ish, more than on the photos.)

Worth the break-in time and troubleshooting

Unsure which style I would like, I bought the V-10 (all white w. black V) and V-12 (white upper w. black V...tan “gum” sole) to test. Here was my take:I bought both shoes in a size 40, which is my size. They both fit true-to-size for me.The V-10 had the thin, hard tongue that everyone complains about. The V-12 has a fabric-backed tongue, which is still hard and on the thin side - and about an inch too long - but it is a little less rigid than the V-10.Both styles fit similarly, so I ended up choosing based on my favorite aesthetic. I picked the V-12 because I liked the gum sole, which not only looks cool, but it won’t show dirt as badly as the white-sole styles.As others have said, the shoes were not comfortable out of the box. I had three issues:Issue 1: ... MoreUnsure which style I would like, I bought the V-10 (all white w. black V) and V-12 (white upper w. black V...tan “gum” sole) to test.

I picked the V-12 because I liked the gum sole, which not only looks cool, but it won’t show dirt as badly as the white-sole styles.As others have said, the shoes were not comfortable out of the box. I had three issues:Issue 1: I have an average-width foot, and the toe box was a bit narrow at first. Fix: They became comfortable once I broke them in.Issue 2: The footbed. I have a very high arch, and these shoes (both styles) have zero padding. Fix: I added an insole. Problem solved.Issue 3: The tongue is too long and was rubbing against my ankle. Fix: I tried the “pull the tongue to the side” trick, but within 10 steps, the tongues kept working themselves back to the top. Fix: I ended up just folding my tongues under and tucking the last inch or so under the laces. This works perfectly for me....and I actually like the look better without the long tongue sticking out.Break-in time for me was two full days of wear...walking 5-6 miles each day. On day three, these were super comfy.These shoes are so stinking cute, and with the break-in and minor fixes, they are now comfortable enough for me that I can walk miles and miles without complaint. Definitely worth the trouble.

wore them a few time - blistered feet

The shoes fit size wise and width.. however my feet start blistering every time i wear them. I thought I could wear them for shorter periods of time to break them in but that did not help. I used wood stretchers to no avail.. shame for price… do not feel like a premium brand… massively overhyped.
