Customer Reviews VEJA Esplar

These shoes go with so many outfits. Great closet staple.

Comfortable shoe. They also look nice with work slacks.

THis is my 2nd pair! I bought the first pair two or three years ago and used them for travel and then started wearing them constantly. The first pair is still together but is dirty at this point. I will wear them in the garden and save this new pair for going out!

Great style and comfort. Wouldn’t wear them for running a race but great to chase after my kids all day. Love the simple, streamlined style. Have a narrow foot and this fit greet. Goes with anything - informal or formal. Size up if you’re a half size.

Understated and classy

I love these shoes. I’m usually a size 9. I ordered a size 9 and they fit perfectly.

I think this is a very nice looking sneaker. It goes with everything. I feel it runs a little large. I'm normally a 7.5 or 8, I got these in a 38 and I have plenty of room. While I do like them, they are not my sneakers for any type of long distance walking. They are not THE most comfortable shoe and don't have a ton of support, but for casual wear they are fine.

These shoes are super cool…to look at…wearing them is a different story. They are extremely stiff. STIFF. I was expecting more of an Adidas Grant Court feel. Nope. I’m hoping they loosen up over time because I cannot be bothered to return them.

I have a fatiguing time trying to find attractive footwear that doesn't hurt. For reference: I have a true 7.5 size foot, not very wide but a bunion to protect, slight/normal arch, and sensitive skin that get blisters just trying on shoes. Somehow, VEJA (specifically the Esplars) sneakers do not hurt my feet! These are flat and do not provide much support but are comfortable enough for long walks straight out of the box. No need to wear blister protectors. Very happy to have this shoe and I hope VEJA never discontinues the Esplar line!

My daughter is an 8.5 and Veja doesn’t make half sizes. So it was a little loose on her. We removed the insole, put in a thin flat insole with her orthotic on top and that made it fit well. It is also very stiff. Not cushiony or comfortable.

Much bigger than I anticipated

I loved the look of this shoe, once I finally got it on (not the easiest). But once on it was extremely stiff and simply not comfortable. I figured if I wore it for a few minutes and it already hurt my feet, I did not want to even try wearing for any length of time. It's a shame, as I really did like the look and style of the shoe. This will have to go back and I'll try again with another brand.

It feels a little tight, although they might stretch. This is a new brand for me.

Fit and size was fine, but they were not very comfortable and stiff.

Shoe felt stiff and wide. I normally wear 6.5 with thick socks but I went half size smaller to wear no show socks and it was loose all the way around. I do agree with someone else who made a review that the laces. I wish it calmed laced too because the leather was so stiff it was hard to lace it without the laces twisting.

These looked so cute on other women I saw wearing them but felt like right clown shoes on me. Returned and going back to my trusty Chucks.

These shoes were my least favorite of all the sneakers I’ve purchased. They came unlaced - which was a problem since professional lacing always looks better. But the size that I always wear was way too big, so I didn’t even bother doing the lace job! Back they went.

I wish they had half-sizes, more comfortable footbed, and softer leather, more breathable. Very cute though!

Shoe came without the original box, and was clearly a returned pair with a piece of long hair stuck to shoelace on one shoe.

Too stiff, very uncomfortable. Color was more off white than I had hoped.

I was bummed when I tried these on because they were SO SO uncomfortable. For someone needing a stylish pair of shoes to walk around in, these were not going to cut it. Very cute shoes but not practical.

The heel of this shoe seems to run a little wide and the tongue came up too high on my ankle; not comfortable.

These shoes are very stiff and uncomfortable.

Really cute but the tongue cut up the top of my feet so bad I could not wear them again. Too bad cause they are a great price and really cute!
