Vejas or Allbirds?

I'm looking for some comfy, stylish, eco-friendly trainers for the summer.

I guess what will you wear them with/ what look are going for? My veja trainers are pretty versatile. All birds seem to either look like running shoes, plimsolls or vans type shoes which don't fill the same trainer gap for me as my veja ones?

Will wear mainly with jeans.

Just got some Vejas. Seriously impressed and so comfy. Look great with jeans and dresses.

Hated my vejas, sooo uncomfortable.

I love my allbirds for comfort but don't think they're particularly stylish...

So many posts on MN saying Vejas are very uncomfortable. No arch support and hard soled

The vejas I got were super comfortable from the first wear and go with jeans, dresses, so are pretty versatile.

@LaPampa which Vejas do you have?

LOVE my Allbirds. So comfortable. And I really like how they look with jeans! Trudged around town all day yesterday, was knackered when I got home but feet were AOK

LaPampa · 23/03/2022 17:45

@JazzPigeon v-10 leather white ones

olliepolly · 23/03/2022 19:05

I can walk for miles in my Allbirds so comfy, I love them.

Thatswhatmamasaid · 23/03/2022 19:51

Cant speak for Allbirds but I love my Vejas!

I had the canvas Vejas, really heavy and super uncomfortable. I donated them.

I bought some Allbirds Treepipers last week. I am really liking them. For this weather they are great, really lightweight, from first day I wore them they were comfortable. No rubbing or breaking in required. I don’t think they would withstand bad weather very well but I didn’t buy them for that. Can’t offer a comparison with vejas as I’ve never had any, I’ve tried them on but for me they have felt stiff. Plus side for allbirds is they can go in the washing machine. I’ve worn them three or four times already, can see me buying another pair in the future.

I’ve got Veja (very flat no support)
Vans (same)
Air & Grace (nice & bouncy but not a great fit for my footshape so one of my toes rubs)
Allbirds - 3 pairs.

Not sure I need to say more!

Just be aware allbirds mizzle come up a bit smaller than the wool runners. I could have done with going up a size when I got mine.

I'm not sure why vejas are so popular? If I was going for a trainer I would choose Axel Arigato personally, but then I wouldn't wear them for sports so I guess it depends what you plan to do in them.

Tulipomania · 26/03/2022 18:09

Which Vejas are the most comfortable? I want the vegan ones not leather.
