Been wanting these trainers for a while and they exceeded expectations. They’re so clean and so so comfortable. The leather means they’re alright for any types of weather and they surprisingly don’t get that dirty either. I was worried about creasing but they don’t wrinkle at all. Also Flannels delivery packaging was so gorgeous and it came so quickly! Could not recommend enough

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.

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 wore them with hiking socks and put the hair dryer on them (advice online). I’ve worn them around the house with multiple pairs of socks on for days. I have loosened the laces, i have tried stretching them.I have worn them a couple times to places where I can just walk in and sit down but didn’t have to walk far. But even then my feet got blisters on the heels toes and knuckles of my toes.Might I add i have quite narrow feet. I did ballet for 15 years so Im no stranger to blisters... but this is beyond a joke.On the weekend, after months of breaking in, I wore the shoes to walk 2 blocks again to the coffee shop, with socks, and once again have giant blisters on both heels and my pinky toes.I am actually appalled by the quality of this product. 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.

These are very good looking and the sizing is true, however, the fit is not as comfortable as I wish it was because the laces are hard to work with. The leather is very stiff making it difficult to maneuver the laces and the tongue hitting the foot is to sharp to the point that it can easily cut your foot. I hope that with time the leather will soften but so far I’ve worn them twice and I still struggle with this issue.
