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.

I bough these V-12 Veja shoes in October last year.Upon first wearing them (in November) I got some of the worst blisters I’ve ever had in my life, from walking just a couple of blocks.I contacted Veja about the shoes and they let me know that is quite normal for the leather of their shoes to be tougher to break in because of the sustainable process they use to make the shoes.I didn’t return them at the time because they actually had blood inside from being worn. But also because I got advice from Veja and also googled and found so many people talking about ways to break in these INCREDIBLY uncomfortable shoes. All mentioning the way the leather is treated and the shoe is manufactured.Since then I have tried everything.

I have sustained injuries so bad from these shoes that I cant even wear other footwear for weeks after walking just two blocks the the Vejas.And even worse Stylerunner are refusing to refund or exchange the product without me driving to a store (closest is over an hour away) to have the shoe "assessed". Even though I have confirmation from Veja that if the leather hasnt softened after months they would deem it to be faulty and I should get a refund.Go have a look at comments on Veja's instragram and you can see quickly I am not alone in my experience of this particular shoe. They are the WORST.The only thing worse than this shoe is the way Stylerunner customer service has handled the customer service complaint.

I’ve been looking for a basic white sneaker for everyday wear and stumbled on this. Caught my eye when it was on sale so thought to give it a go. The sizing is true (I measured my foot instead of going by usual size)Normally 38 I went with 39 in veja size. Like most comments the tongue takes a bit to wear in. Kinda digs in a bit. I just wore thick socks in the first few weeks and it’s fine. Otherwise it’s pretty comfy and cushioned enough for everyday wear

I absolutely love these shoes. I read so many reviews and heard they are stiff at first and the tongue is uncomfortable. I had not problems when I put these on. I wore them all day at work (8 hour work day)…no issues - literally - no issues. No blisters, no stiffness, nothing was uncomfortable. I truly love these shoes. I went ahead and bought a second pair.
Absolutely love my new Vejas & the color is stunning. Packaging was pretty & shoes came in perfect condition. Had a slight issue with shipping times, but the Tuckernut team proactively reached out to rectify it before I could even email first. Amazing customer service & seamless purchase! Will be buying from here again for sure. (Size 8.5/ Size 39 in Vejas)
I wanted to like these shoes so badly! I like the color and look but the tongue is basically like hard plastic and rubs on your foot. I tried several ways to tuck the tongue to the side or into the shoes but that did not help. Also if you are a half size, I would size down.I ended up getting a pair of campos and those were much better!
I'm a consistent 8.5, but I got a size 8 with room to spare. They're a bit stiff in the tongue at first and you can expect some wrinkling in the leather, but after a few months they've formed to my feet. I love the style, ease to wipe off dirt and the insoles for my higher arch. However, I'm surprised to find they make my feet feel sweaty even with merino wool socks in cooler temperature.
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.)
I've been looking for a nice pair of low-key sneakers for everyday errands and/or for traveling. These are precisely the style I was looking for. Unfortunately, they do run big and, so, I had to return this pair (size 8, my preferred, plain color scheme). However, I'm keeping the size 7s in a fun color scheme (orange V against white shoe). I'm typically a size 7.5 for reference. The shoes are stiff but I'm hoping they'll soften up as other reviewers have noted. It was only after I ordered these that I realized the brand is currently popular with celebs. This doesn't really matter to me, but it affirms the style/quality I suppose. Looking forward to sporting them in Vegas for the holidays!
Excellent product, Excellent Quality! Fit is great( I usually take a 6.5 and in Veja, I find I am a 6), they run a little large so go down a size if you are in between sizes would be my suggestion.Very classic extra white shoe, and really comfortable . I highly recommend the Veja leather sneaker . I wear these with jeans , casual pants and they just give a little classic touch to your outfit!
