I love these sneakers. They definitely run big because I am a true 8.5 and the 8 fit great and with a little room. They are very comfy so far and haven’t felt like I need to break them in. I highly recommend as I’ve gotten lots of compliments!

poor quality
I’ve only had these for 3 months and the lettering on the back is already fading away. I’ve only worn them about 7 times so I don’t see how this happened. Very disappointed.

Love but color doesn’t hold up
I loved these shoes when they came in but beware that the “platine” color doesn’t hold up. Put them on today for only the 3rd time and as soon as I did, noticed there was a large silver spot on the head where the coloring had rubbed off. For minimal wear (and no intense activity), I was very surprised this would happen.

Fashionable but slightly big
I am a size 8 and decided to go with the 8. Shoes are definitely on the bigger side and have a little bit of a “bowling shoes” look but I think if I had gone down to 7 they would be uncomfortable. The tongue being stiff is true but some people have suggested slipping it to the side so it hasn’t bothered me too much. Otherwise, beautiful shoe but with some issues.

Worth the break-in
I have these in extra white, which I love. I like that the leather is easy to wipe clean. They go with everything, and they dress up and down effortlessly. Having read many reviews, I was prepared for the break-in with these shoes. The tongue is indeed very stiff, and it rubs—actually, digs—into the front of the ankle. But it’s leather, and it can be broken in. I recommend wearing the shoes with thick tall socks (dampened in the spot where the tongue rubs to speed up the breaking in process) and walking around the house until the tongue softens.

Wanted to love
I wanted to love these Given the company and was looking forward to their arrival. Unfortunately, the fit was really off. I downsized per the fit guide lines, but they were still enormous. I typically wear a 7 1/2, downsized to a 7 but likely would have needed to downsize to a 6. I didn’t try for a different size because of the tongue being uncomfortable and these had zero arch support. If these were priced inline with a chuck taylor, I might have pursued the 6 to see if I could make them work but honestly I didn’t think they were worth the $120 price.

Perfect shoe to dress up or down
I’ve been looking for the perfect white sneaker for a while and this Veja nails it. Great with jeans, great with a tshirt dress. Several compliments woth jean shorts and a T-shirt. Fit is true to size, and I’ve work with and without socks. Highly recommend!

I love the fact that the sneakers are made of organic cotton, wild rubber from the amazon, ecological leather and recycled plastic bottles. What a great concept and purpose!

Obsessed
Perfect white sneaker! Sizing comparable to Converse. I’m usually an womans 8 but I sized down to a 7 for these and they fit like a glove. My foot is a little wide so something to keep in mind if your foot is on the more narrow side these may be slightly roomy for you. Overall amazingly cute and comfortable. Will likely buy more!!

Soooo cute! But sizing is way off
I followed the reviews and everyone said these shoes run small? So I was worried when I ordered my actual size of women’s 5 they arrived and were huge! Like a whole size and a half bigger I ordered the smallest size which is a 4 in women’s and they fit ! It was just kind of annoying having to send them back and order the right size but the shoes look cute.

Trick for breaking in that long tongue...
Love these cute sneakers!!! So everyone complains about the long tongue...and it is long and uncomfortable...but I noticed a pic of MM wearing these shoes (I think she was on a boat)...anyway, the tongues on her shoes are not straight on - they are pushed to the side a bit...what a difference!!!! I’m hoping to wear them like this for the break-in period while the leather softens a bit. I think it will help a ton!!!

Love the shoe, but had to return for damage
I really love these shoes, but unfortunately the logo was smudged when it arrived. I will be returning these and ordered another pair because I do really like them.
