Looking for an alternative to my superga - I have wide feet do no to converse - are the Vejas any good and are they comfy ?

Thanks Smile

I found them the most uncomfortable trainers I’ve ever worn.

KirstenBlest · 31/05/2021 18:11

They look nice. I have the vegan ones and they're o.k.

Thatswhatmamasaid · 31/05/2021 18:14

Wide feet here as well. I have both the Esplar (leather) and Campo (vegan) Vejas. I definitely prefer the Campos, I have them in three colourways and recommend those.

LynetteScavo · 31/05/2021 18:29

They are very, very comfortable!

I hardly wear my Supergas as they're so heavy. I get through many pairs of Converse. I only started wearing Veja last winter, and I shall definitely be getting another pair soon. I have walked quite far in mine with no socks and no blisters.

I have the esplar and find them really uncomfortable. I have a mild Morton’s neuroma and it only hurts either when I’ve run 15k or am wearing these.

Craftycorvid · 31/05/2021 19:05

Personally, I find Veja comfortable to wear. If I want a more ‘padded’ trainer, I have some platform Converse one-star which are very comfortable.

FourTurnings · 31/05/2021 20:48

I’ve got four pairs of Veja’s. I like the look of them and they’re okay once worn in but no, not super comfy in all honesty.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 31/05/2021 21:11

I have the Esplars and find them comfortable now, but I had to break them in like proper shoes.

Oly4 · 31/05/2021 21:13

Oh gosh no, they are really uncomfy. I bought some but ditched them and went back to Supergas

Hoppinggreen · 31/05/2021 21:14

My mum bought some and found them so uncomfortable she gave them to me. I can’t wear them either

Softpebbles · 31/05/2021 21:34

I have the campos and have found them comfortable from day 1. I take a 6.5 in Superga and got a 7 in Veja

Happymum12345 · 01/06/2021 06:53

I find mine very comfortable.

christdoinghisunspecifiedhobby · 01/06/2021 06:54

I don't have any, but I have very wide feet and find Kurt Geiger very comfortable.

MajorMakeover · 01/06/2021 07:49

I have These and These. I have had all kinds of trainers and Superga, Converse, Nike, etc. but now prefer Veja.

29ac · 01/06/2021 07:51

I have three pairs, I love how they look but they take some breaking in and even then they’re not overly comfy.

Rainallnight · 01/06/2021 07:59

So, so uncomfortable Sad

LunaTheCat · 01/06/2021 08:41

I bought vejas - I love the look of them .
I bought half a size bigger and they are comfortable.

KittyMcKitty · 01/06/2021 09:00

I’ve toyed with getting them for years but they are soooooo heavy. I have Stan Smiths.

RedHotChiliChips · 01/06/2021 09:11

Converse tends to be slightly too narrow for my feet but Veja’s fit me well. They were comfortable from day one, usually I have to break in each new pair of shoes.

Kattya · 01/06/2021 09:16

Love mine. I have 4 pairs. I’m a size 5 and they fit great

WhatsGoingOnHereThen · 01/06/2021 09:17

I sold mine on eBay for a huge loss. I just couldn't wear them. Too uncomfortable. SOOO clumpy.

BergamotMouse · 01/06/2021 09:19

I've just got some campos. Very comfortable. The tongue is a bit stiff to start with but they're softening up very nicely.

LynetteScavo · 01/06/2021 10:25

The campos aren't clumpy at all. I don't know what the clumpy styles are called, but they always looked a bit too clumpy for me anyway.

Whosaidit · 01/06/2021 10:55

Really uncomfortable and heavy in my experience

BeaLola · 06/06/2021 17:29

Thank you so much all

In the end whilst out shopping I bought some smart leather plain Puma trainers which are very comfy Daffodil
