Customer Reviews VEJA Esplar Logo

Love these they are my second pair in this style!

I am a size 9 US / 40 Euro, but following the advice of reviewers I ordered a size down. Mistake. They were too short. If you’re a 9, order your usual in this particular Veja style (Esplar). They’re super cute. They’re pretty comfortable too, similar to Superga.

One of these most uncomfortable pair of (fashionable) sneakers I’ve ordered ! Super stiff leather which had no give when walking and the sole is also like a slab with no bend. Returned !

These are cute but they aren't that comfortable. I purchased in my regular size 7 and probably should have gone down to 6.5. The tongue on my right shoe scrapes my foot but I guess I can wear higher socks.

Very comfy and they go with everything.

Love these will buy more

These are absolutely worth it

Stylish but no support or cushioning, feels like I am walking on cardboard, would don't recommend for walking long distances.

Cute shoes! For me they ran about a 1/2 small. Minimal arch support but enough for casual wear. The leather was stiff but softened after a few wears. I would purchase again.

I’m an 8.5 so I sized down and they are still VERY roomy. These are very comfortable right out of the box! The tongue presents no problem whatsoever for me. I’ve been wearing them for 2 straight days because I was worried about some of the reviews but I find these super comfy!

Stylish. Need some time to break them in.

love them

I was inclined to write a review only because there are so many comments about the lack of comfort. This simply isn’t true! They need to be broken in for a couple days and THEN they will be a custom fit to your feet similar to a Birkenstock or a Doc Marten. Its worth it! The cushion is great and the support is nice without being too much of an arch support or too heavy. First time Veja customer, but will try more styles and colors. I’m a size 8.5 with wide feet, and the 8 fit well.

I wanted to love these as they’re so cute and the colors are exactly what I was looking for, but they are soooo uncomfortable. I’m usually about an 8.5-9 but when they’re whole sizes only, I usually fit the 9 better. These were a little big on me but not huge. Trying to get my foot into them took two people. I get that they’re a leather sneaker, but they are SO stiff! The lace holes were tight, so even loosening then tightening the laces took a lot of effort. Its possible that with some wear these issues may resolve themselves but at 6 months pregnant, I don’t have the energy or patience to wait for a pair of $150 shoes to break in…

They didn't have my size (8), so I bought a 7 because I read they ran large. I was initially excited because the length of the 7s was perfect, but they are VERY uncomfortable overall; I had also read that the tongue was uncomfortably long but that you could shift it to the side to correct the issue. I tried this, but they were still uncomfortable because shifting the tongue caused it to bunch up in the middle. The sides were also tall and rubbed my ankles creating discomfort. I'm bummed because I love the look, but I can't handle the pain.

I am a true 5 and these at least a 1/2 size too big. ?

Feel comfortable, fit well, look stylish and match everything!

Normally I am a size 6.5 but really happy I read the comments and sized down. The 6 fits me perfectly. The toe box is wider than I’m use to and I thought it would be a problem but I’m finding it quite comfortable. Highly recommend!

I ordered a size 8 (39) and they were too big. I sent those back and got a size 7 (38) and they fit great.

I wear a size 8, ordered these in a size 8 and they were too big. I sent them back and got a size 7 and they fit perfect!

These are true to size and cute but sooooo uncomfortable! They are stiff and rubbed my feet everywhere. Just wearing them for a few minutes in my house and I could tell that would give me massive blisters. Also, no arch support whatsoever. Maybe I needed to spend some time breaking them in but I didn't want to take that chance. So disappointed - sending them back.

Fit was tight & uncomfortable. Size ran small.

I love these shoes! They are a great winter alternative to my summer favorite, Converse. In my experience, they run BIG. I’m a 7 and the 6 fit me perfectly. They are a little stiff but I’m sure they will soften over time as they’re broken in. Love the look and that they’re cut low.

When I called to speak with a customer service agent I was encouraged to order a size 5 when i thought a size 4 would work better. These sneakers are wy too big and wide. When I went to reorder AGAIN the 4 was no longer available. Now I have no sneakers.
