V-10 Low Top Sneaker

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: 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 - both styles - 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.

I'm not the one who write reviews but I feel like I just have to for this particular shoes. Before purchasing the black/white Veja, I seriously went on a thorough research because I really love the style and I prefer shoes that will go with many outfits! BUT if it was uncomfortable (per other reviews) then it wouldn't be worth paying much for it. After months of research (right size, narrow vs wide, comfort of the tongue etc), I finally decided to pull the trigger. I'm usually a true size 38 (Eu), which is size 7 in the US but after reading and listening to reviews from different sites (youtube, zappos, amazon , pinterest) that this run big, i decided to go with 37, which is only half size smaller. OMG its perfect! Lots of room for thick or thin socks. Another main concern was the tongue. Yes it's true its long but in MY OPINION, it wasn't uncomfortable like the other review says. Of course, every brand new shoes needs breaking in and so thats what I did. Wore the shoes around the house, placed the tongue on the side (left and right) and tried bending it multiple time so not so stiff! I must say, I felt very stylish wearing them for the first time out in town! So yea, I love them!!

I absolutely adore these shoes. They are the PERFECT casual shoes for jeans and a sweater or t-shirt. Must have. The leather is really nice too.

Super fast delivery thanks Nordstrom’s store , about the shoes it has a great and decent style and very much comfortable on my feet, I gave my sister too as a gift

Got the white and black and it looks as good as it does online. The materials are of high quality. This is now my new go-to sneakers.

These were comfy from the second I put them on. I plan to wear these a lot!! Runs very true to size.

I was super excited to receive my package and surprised! Worn out shoes! C’’mon Nordstrom’s you can do better!

I love Veja sneakers but Nordstrom incorrectly lists this as a leather sneaker. It arrived today and is a plastic coated cotton, faux leather alternative. Very disappointing that Nordstrom's website was so inaccurate, I ordered this sneaker ahead of a vacation and then had to drive across town and back to return it and a new pair will not arrive in time before my trip. Next time I will just order from Veja directly to know what I'm buying for certain at the time of purchase.

I really want to love these shoes. Cuz they look clean smart and versatile. But there are very painful to wear for long walks. The leather bends and digs into toes ouch. Will only wear them for local dinner nights or boring work days. Definitely not for any trips. Not for malls. Not even for errands. Uh uh.

Great look and have the right size…NOT great construction. Has caused rubbed areas and pain wearing them. Disappointed and cannot recommend

They fit true to size, comfortable straight out the box, no break in period needed.

Pleasantly surprised at how well these did on my wide toe box feet. I’m done with uncomfortable shoes, so I was fully prepared to return them. No need! The tongue didn’t bother me at all. After a week of wearing them casually they fit even better. Very happy purchase!
