Customer Reviews VEJA Wata

I've been wearing Chuck Taylor's for years, but as I'm getting older was looking for a more finished, stylish upgrade. These shoes seemed perfect. A little more finished, with some nice detailing. They fit well and I was very happy to pay more for a little more style. However, I bought these shoes on Jan. 2nd. I wore them perhaps twice a week on average, and here it is Feb 16 and one of the metal lacing grommets has lost its backing and come loose. Very disappointing for a shoe of this cost, and one that's twice as much a Chuck's - a shoe that in decades of wearing I never had this problem with. Disappointed that after only a dozen or so average wearings, these Veja's already falling apart.

I have been looking to get a pair of Veja shoes for a while, but it is hard to find vegan ones in my size & color. I like that they are made of recycled plastic bottles, and organic cotton. They are a bit pricey for shoes that are similar to chucks, but Veja's transparency, organic materials, and fair trade sourcing are worth it. I've had them for a few weeks, and they are holding up well. They are comfy, and nice quality. I highly recommend them.

Very cute canvas shoes that fit my high instep well. Major bonus points for a company that has such great standards!

Wow this is my first pair of Vejas and they are so much cuter in person. I use insoles for all my shoes and I’d suggest for these if you need arch support. I hope these last a little while because they’ll be getting wear...

Super cute but stiff. You really have to break them in. Runs a little bit wide.

I wear these with no socks, but the tongue has a tendency to slip down and bunch up over my instep, which is uncomfortable. I'll keep trying to lace them in different ways to stop this. Love the ethics behind the company, and the shoes themselves.

I ordered my usual size 9 and they were HUGE! Will have to return for at least a size smaller. Cute shoes...hope they'll eventually get the 8's in stock.

I was worried about the sizing on these and wish, now, I'd gone with my gut instinct to order my usual EU shoe size. The chart says that a 39 is the same as a woman's US 8, but not true, it's waaaay to big. I normally wear a US 7.5 and feel most comfortable in a European size 37.5-38 depending on the style. I'm hoping they have these in a 38, because I love everything else about them.
