Veja Trainers - worth the price??

TomAllenWife · 19/10/2023 19:15

Looking for some new trainers to pair with outfits into autumn/winter

Any opinions on these? In terms of durability, comfort etc?

TIA

I've had mine for about a year and worn several times a week and they're still looking good. They were comfortable out of the box. I was worried about reviews that said the tongues were stiff/too long but I didn't find that the case.

Were they true to size?

Liked them but they don’t do half sizes, at least they didnt when I bought mine. 6 too big and 5 too small.

I loved mine and basically wore nothing else until I started getting horrible foot pain and noticed my bunion had got masses worse.

They are very narrow and I wish I'd known better when I bought them.

Yes. Ime Nike squashier tho.

Ostryga · 19/10/2023 20:28

They fucked my feet! I got every kind of tendinitis after wearing them basically all the time (ended up in a cast because of how bad it was and my consultant has banned them!)

I’m wearing air max and sketchers with insoles atm and fingers crossed no issues.

DuchessOfSausage · 19/10/2023 20:30

Sold mine after wearing only once

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 19/10/2023 20:31

I’ve heard of friends getting foot issues after getting them. I’ve developed plantar fasciitis over lockdown so they’re ruled out for me now anyway.

Burnoutwhat · 19/10/2023 20:31

I tried a pair on and the bottoms were so hard. This was a good while ago and I've since noticed so many people wearing them. This is shallow but it would put me off. I think they used to be a kind of cool girl shoe but ate now very ubiquitous.

Burnoutwhat · 19/10/2023 20:32

Sorry I meant hard on the bottom like where sole of your foot is.

TomAllenWife · 19/10/2023 20:35

I always think if I'm opting to wear trainers it's because I want to be comfy!

If I wanted to be crippled in pain I'd wear heels

Maybe the Nike win then

I found the insole of Vejas completely flat and uncomfortable.
I wear Nike AFs so comfortable as well as other various Nike styles.

peonyjam · 19/10/2023 20:41

I'm a big fan. I've found them comfortable and my main shoe over mat leave so plenty of walks in them. I do have narrow feet though.

MileyWiley · 19/10/2023 20:43

Really uncomfortable. Shredded the backs of my feet.

AnnaMagnani · 19/10/2023 20:46

OMG no idea so many others had problems with them!

My feet cry if I think about putting them on.

Ireolu · 19/10/2023 21:04

Had mine for 3 years then gave away to charity. They were not comfortable. Held out as long as I could before getting rid. Don't miss them.

TomAllenWife · 19/10/2023 21:30

Oh dear god this isn't good!!!!
So glad I haven't parted with £150

Mine were comfy but the fabric at the heel wore away quite quickly and the rubbing started ripping the back of my socks. I had to bin them.

zurala · 19/10/2023 22:10

A friend gave me a pair which I then wore on an hour long walk, and they crippled me! I couldn't walk for a day afterwards, I was limping everywhere. I threw them out the same day. They clearly are not made for feet!

Franticbutterfly · 19/10/2023 22:21

Same as pp, 6 look massive, 5 too small. Also find them a bit uncomfortable.

IWasFunBeforeMum · 19/10/2023 22:31

I like mine but no bounce to them.
