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.

Big bro and his new veja wheels.

My brother loved his veja wheels. He’s worn them already. He said they fit perfectly and look great with jeans. Jobs a good yin. One happy customer. Thanks again flannels. Ohhh loved the bag too. Didn’t get one the last time, thank you. Much appreciated.

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.

Lace snapped

Didn’t get 5 stars as the lace snapped in one of the trainers after only a few wears. On contacting customer services new laces could not be provided and I was advised to return the trainers which I didn’t want to do. As very happy with them otherwise.

Looks good but not comfortable

Shoes look and feel good. However they are very heavy with a thick sole. Not particularly comfortable to wear neither. The leather tongue is long and crumples when you put your feet in. Not what I expected. And definitely size down from your normal size as they are quite large.

Love these trainers

My criticism of other vejas I’ve had in the past have been that within minutes they look old and have stained rims. These nicely combat that issue having the court base and stand out as being different at the same time.

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.)

Veja V-12 trainers

Second pair of Veja trainers, same range but think these ones are maybe even nicer, slightly different look but I like it. Very comfortable straight out of the box too.

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.
