Yes or no?

Are they comfortable? I struggle with my feet since having my daughter and live in trainers.

They vary depending on the style but a No from me

nearlyspringyay · 09/03/2022 14:33

No. Plastic sweaty and smelly.

AchillesHeelys · 09/03/2022 14:35

No, so uncomfortable. I’ve only worn them a couple of times because I can’t stand how they feel on my feet, such a disappointment considering they’re not cheap.

Jobhunterhelp · 09/03/2022 14:35

I find mine really comfy and wear with trainer socks (so they can't be seen,). I find the ones from Next great with them.

OverByYer · 09/03/2022 14:37

Not comfortable. Completely flat insole. I sent the pair I ordered back. A lot of money for non leather trainers as well.

Sexnotgender · 09/03/2022 14:42

Thank you!!! I definitely don’t need more uncomfortable shoes in my life. About to eBay my gorgeous Air Force 1s that apparently are the most comfortable trainers ever 🙄 absolutely kill my feet.

I have 3 pairs of Vejas - it really does depend On the style, try some on ?

The pairs I've for are comfortable and I've got quite dodgy feet so need them to be comfortable.

Rachie20 · 09/03/2022 14:46

I love mine but have flat feet

Mercurial123 · 09/03/2022 14:49

I donated mine really heavy and very uncomfortable. I hated them.

Seniorandjunior · 09/03/2022 15:00

I've a pair of V10 style Vejas 3 summers ago. I have easy-to-find-shoes-for feet. No they are not comfy. I'm baffled as to how they get so much love. They are heavy, the leather is hard and tough, as is the sole. DO NOT take them on a city break with any amount of walking (bitter experience, hello most comfortable emergency buy Allbirds I will love you forever).
I hear the Veja campo style is easier.

IvorCutler · 09/03/2022 15:13

Rio branco are 👍

TizerorFizz · 09/03/2022 15:17

Buy leather ones. I find M&S ones good at a much better price point. You don’t need to go wife fitting as they mould to you.

567and · 09/03/2022 15:20

I wore mine (canvass ones, not sure what the style is called) on a theme park holiday and on a trip to Vegas, so lots of walking on both holidays, and they were really comfy. Not heavy or sweaty, but may be because they are canvass and not leather. They are quite battered now but currently choosing what colour to go for next. I do have slim, flat feet which may make a difference. I also find converse and vans comfy so if you are ok with these brands might be worth trying some vejas on to see.

suburbanwinter · 09/03/2022 16:07

I have a few pairs and love them all. They are honestly the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned!

Ifitistobesaid · 09/03/2022 16:25

They are very uncomfortable and if I have to walk more than a couple of miles in them my calves ache the next day. Won’t be buying them again.

xx18921 · 09/03/2022 16:41

Depends on style, I have Sdu B mesh and they are comfy but sent the Esplars back as they were massive in size and uncomfy/hard...they may have softened being leather but....

Sexnotgender · 09/03/2022 19:01

Ok, interesting. Those people that find them comfy what styles do you wear?

suburbanwinter · 09/03/2022 19:23

My most comfortable pair are Roraima high tops and also Rio Branco

suburbanwinter · 09/03/2022 19:28

Also have v-12 and v-10 and they both took a bit of time to break in. Once they did they became so comfy though!
I have wide feet and I think these trainers just really suit them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thatswhatmamasaid · 09/03/2022 20:03

Campo is very comfortable, I have 3 pairs.

Rachie20 · 09/03/2022 20:13

Campo

Pyri · 09/03/2022 20:16

I love mine

But I find my Stan smiths much more comfy

Alice909 · 09/03/2022 20:21

Yes once you’ve worn them a few times

Anyfeckinusername · 09/03/2022 20:29

I have one pair, love them. They are made from vegan something. Bought last summer. But I am a die hard leather trainers/shoes person and they haven’t bothered me at all! They soften as I wear them, have stayed really clean and not dulled. I think they are the V12s style.

I find them really comfortable (fairly flat foot, but normal).

I’ll definitely buy again.

They are heavy but oddly don’t feel heavy to wear?

Littleguggi · 09/03/2022 20:33

I find them comfortable and wear them daily! They are pretty worn out now though and I'm looking for some new vejas!
