Buy them .

I heard all about Veja from a good friend , and I was looking at a pair of Loewes sneakers but did not want to spend 600$ on shoes, so I purchased these instead. I bought the white , they’re stylish and super comfortable! I wish they carried a 10.5 because they seem a bit more snug than I would normally like, but they’re my new favorite work shoe. Imagine leather leggings, a white long collared shirt with some thin layering necklaces , and a tan coat . So cute. So worth every penny !

Do not buy

These looked so cute online, but unfortunately the sizing is WAY off and they are the most uncomfortable and ill fitting pair of sneakers I have ever tried on.

Cute, weird sizing

Great shoes and comfortable once I got the sizing right. I am a 6.5/7 always and have a 37 in another Veja shoe but ordered a 37 in these and they were really small. Got a 38 (which the tag said was a US 7) and while they fit, they are definitely on the small side. The width was fine but a little short on the toes and the shape of the toe box takes some getting used to.

These run small

I loved the look of these. I typically wear a size 9 in New Balance and Nike. I ordered a women’s size 9 and my toe is at the very end of the shoe. Definitely cannot wear if I wanted to- order one size up. I would try the next size up but they are now sold out in my size. The sole seemed a little stiff and not as comfortable as I though it would be but then again they were so tight in the length of the shoe, hard to tell. I rated 3 stars because I like the look of the shoe.

Cute shoes, run small

Really like the look of these sneakers but they run small… Had to return… am a true eight and the 39’s were too small… toe was touching the top.

Cute but small toe box

These are comfortable until they’re not. After walking around town (1-2 miles) my big toe starts killing me. It’s happened 3 times already. I hope they break in more because they are cute and comfortable other than the toe part mentioned above.

Cute Neutral

On the fence- such a cute neutral. Been wanting NB 327’s but all the colors I like are sold out, thought these were a nice alternative! I’m a 6.5/7… ordered a size up per reviews and I feel like I’m crazy but my toes are still touching the top. They run very short but I feel like if I size up anymore they’ll look like boats. Jury is still out…

not comfortable

These are plenty wide enough if you have the right size. I usually wear an 8 or 8 1/2 and I got the 9. They fit well. Cute style padding around the heel and soft tongue. But what is up with no padding in the footbed. Hard like a rock. Ridiculous and had to return.

Not Comfortable

I love the way these look but they are not one bit comfortable. The fit was fine but zero cushion at all so I can't imagine wearing them for long distances. Cute but not worth the price for the lack of comfort.

Beware runs super small!

I have the v-10s and am a 38. In these I had to go to 40. I was so shocked. I think I could have gone with a 39.5, if it existed. Once you find your size though, the shoes are great. Very comfortable.
