Reviews mention

  • Timeless, minimalist aesthetics
  • Versatile, dress-up-or-down styling
  • Sustainability-forward materials ethos
  • Often durable, long-wearing construction
  • Stiff tongue causes rubbing
  • Inconsistent arch support comfort
  • Occasional premature sole wear
  • Sizing quirks and narrow fit

Veja earns strong reviews for chic, versatile sneakers that pair with everything and often last for years, but the brand also draws criticism for stiff break-in, ankle-rubbing tongues, inconsistent comfort and support, and durability issues on certain models. Reviews cite standouts like V-10, Campo, Venturi, Esplar, Rio Branco, and Condor 2 for style and everyday wear, while noting sizing quirks, occasional squeaking, and soles or logos wearing down sooner than expected.

  • Great alternative to a classic like a Nike or Adidas, they are super comfortable, and I have worn these through hiking, walks around town, and can even dress them up slightly for certain events. I love the nostalgic look, but also the modern feel with it.

  • I love my veja sneakers. They are lightweight and comfy. I’ve had them for over a year now and still reach for them. Great for running errands, travels, and walks. I want to try some different styles.

  • Bought the Veja Esplar sneakers because Kate Middleton wears them. They are vegan so they are not leather, thus my feet were too hot.

  • O produto tem uma proposta interessante, a embalagem é bonita e parece ser prático para o dia a dia. Eu usaria para testar se realmente cumpre o que promete. A marca transmite qualidade e me despertou curiosidade.”

  • I’ve owned two pairs of Veja Condor 2s over the years and they’ve been a solid choice every time. They’re incredibly comfortable, lightweight, and perfect for everyday wear (though I wouldn’t use them for running). The main drawbacks are that they’re dust magnets, get dirty quickly, and are tricky to clean. Both pairs also developed small holes inside near the ankle over time. Despite that, I’d happily buy them again.

  • My favorite fashion sneaker. So chic. So comfy but also so easy to pair with slacks (at work) or shorts (at a baseball game) or a dress (at a concert). My ride-or-die is the Campo in Natural Suede or in Gold.

  • I would never recommend this company to anyone. I purchased my first pair of Campos this time last year. I wore them once (on a sunny day, where I wasn’t walking that much and just sitting in my office) and the rose gold foil was peeling. I thought it was a fluke, and customer service gladly helped me exchange them for a new pair. By the time I received them it was winter and I wasn’t wearing sneakers as much. When it started to get warmer, I reached for them. This time the logos peeled off! Again, I wore them on nice weather days to a desk job. You would think I was doing survival drills in the forest with how beat up these look. For the price of these shoes, it’s wildly unacceptable.

  • Have always loved the look of these shoes however after trying them on they are extremely uncomfortable and very narrow. I have standard food shape/size and have never needed wide shoes and these were extremely tight on the sides.

  • I’ve worn the heck out of my V-10’s for the last five years and am eager to buy a replacement pair. They pair with everything and are the most comfortable street sneaker I’ve ever worn

  • I have multiple pairs of vejas and have now gotten my partner hooked. My current obsession are the volleys, they are an eco-conscious alternative to adidas and something a little different as well. They are super comfortable and of great quality, I wear them all the time and they've lasted over a year.

  • Highly recommended for daily wear. This is my 2nd pair from them and I am really happy with my purchase. It fits great and true to size!! Excited to try other styles too.

  • At first, these shoes were hard to break in, but I have now owned my pair since 2018. I have washed and replaced the laces several times and the shoes are still going. These shoes have many miles on them and I can truly say they are built to last. They are now scuffed and a bit beat up, but that is a long time to wear a pair of shoes. The biggest sustainability win for these shoes aren’t that they are made of vegan leather, but that they keep going year after year.

    I hope the newer styles last as long as the old ones. I know that they have a repair center in France, but I would love to see something similar in the US. In particular, I wish there was a way to fix the scuffs on the white part of the vegan leather.

  • I love how the Veja campo look. They are very easy to style and to clean also. However, I find them extremely uncomfortable ! They are a fashion sneaker, not a comfort sneaker, so it’s understandable. Mine unfortunately do not get a lot of use because I sort of dread wearing them.

  • I love these shoes. They're comfortable and stable to wear and look great. The brand's unboxing experience and mission of sustainable materials is also great.

  • I've gone through multiple pairs of the V-10s, the first pair I broke in very easily and the second pair was a bit more painful (wore thick socks for a week before they became super comfortable). I love how minimal these shoes are and how they go with every outfit. I recently purchased the Venturi runners, which are more of a statement, but also very muted and go with everything.

    On the higher price point

  • Love my Vejas! I had my first pair for more than two years and they held up really well. I wore them on my daily three-mile walk commute to my office! I love how easy they are to clean—especially after walking through the FiDi of San Francisco. I'm on my second pair now and I recently got a pair for my boyfriend as well. Excited to try some of their new styles!

    Low stock/inventory was an issue for a while but that may be unavoidable!

  • Comfortable and simple shoes. I like my Vejas quite a bit and wear them for work. I like that they can be dressed up and dressed down. I have had my Vejas for about 3 months and they seem to be holding up okay but not great. They don't seem quite as durable as other sneaker brands.

  • Super cute! These are my work casual sneakers and they are comfortable enough for a day of walking.

    The leather is stiff and I sized up a half size

  • I LOVE Veja. I have two pairs of their classic sneaker and they’re perfect. They go with everything and help craft a manicured yet laid-back look.

    My friends have been turned off saying they are uncomfortable. I think you just need to break them in. However, their insides are bare and so not seem to provide support or cushion. Despite this, I’d say one of the most comfortable sneakers I own.

  • I really like the profile of these shoes (the V-10) for spring and summer. The break-in period wasn't too bad. The one downside is I don't find them very supportive. I've worn them for days with lots of walking and my knees tend to hurt the next day. In the moment, they're a great shoe. They have creased over time, but that doesn't bother me.
