I watch a lot of videos daily on youtube, but this is my first time liking and commenting on a video. Hands down the best comparison video I have seen, answered ALL my questions! Thank you!

[@michalkitainik8710]

Got my first and only VEJA a year and a half ago, v-10 ones. I love 'em so much! Great review!

[@aliaelborai]

Really cool video, i like the way you're evolving! Between the visit in Scotland and this, i just love the way you kinda "teach" us stuff and i find that your sustainability awareness has grown so much :) I can more and more relate to your content and i really enjoy it

[@Feemy]

Love the info available here. I imagine Emma being a wonderful storyteller when she gets old....her facial expressions and mannerisms and all. Love it! I feel like I could sit with her for hours and she could just yap away reminiscing and telling anecdotes of her past lol. She's lovely

[@blyve1913]

I have the V-10 (white with the black V) for over a year now and love them. They're so classic and fit well into my wardrobe - no sneaker did before, apart from the classic Converse. Eyeing the canvas version for next summer now. Thank you for your detailed review!

[@soullacharalambous6553]

Good morning Emma!! I like the second pair of mesh and suede. To tell you the truth I was waiting for your review because I’m planning to buy a pair of Veja. Thank you for always being so honest!!! xxx

[@jeanne_guitton]

I really like how clear and comprehensive you are in those videos, but never boring and never rambling. This channel is getting better and better, and it was good to begin with! When I started watching this, I was a bit lukewarm, like "Oh, sneakers. Well, I suppose they are a staple." And I came out at the other end thinking: "Yay! Sneakers! Need to research these when mine wear out!"

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you ❤️

[@juliayvonne5409]

long time follower here, love your videos, they are professional, well explained and yet one can see your personality. Also love the time of upload, can watch you while I get ready for work xx

[@annamartin9944]

If I was needing a sign to finally make my first Veja purchase... this was IT hehe xx lots of love Emma

[@mydearhascome]

Hello Emma! Thank you for this amazing video! I have the V10 and I used their own website. Normal service, nothing extraordinary tbh. I think it took a bit longer than expected to receive the package, around 6-7 days (ordered on a Friday, arrived the next Friday). I like to buy things directly for their own website, even when I book a hotel cause this way the company does not pay fee to external providers. :)

[@Frick_79]

Love this, I feel like education time with Emma should be a series 📚✏️ I was curious about whole rubber from the Amazon situation so will definitely look up more information about this. Thanks for your thorough overview. So helpful. I love my v10 but after you saying the Campos fit like Stan Smiths which are one of my favourites that has me interested. You have a fab collection. Glad I’m not the only one who hoovers the house in joggers and boots/shoes that I’m breaking in 🤣

[@warriorsoul7893]

I am going to buy my first pair and was looking for a good review video... this video was the first one to come up and answered all my questions. Great video 👍🏼

I ordered ans just received the Campos in black/white from HVV in Germany because of your video! 41 fit perfect and I already love them. Thanks for your advice, they are so comfy🤩👍

[@SallyBoebally]

I have been waiting to buy vejas for so long and always knew I would revisit this video when I was ready to purchase - thank you for this video! I had no idea Veja was a sustainable brand and that makes me even more excited to buy them :)

[@adeleturner1255]

Really helpful video Emma. Great to hear pros and cons of each style. 👍💖😍

[@sadiesadie6343]

Thanks for such a good video about these sneakers! I've always loved the look, but wondered about the comfort and function of the shoe. I am looking forward to buying my first pair of Vejas, and looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@elidumas363]

I purchased the leather V-10 a few months back in the same colour way as yours after much consideration. You're right, they go with everything. The first time I wore them I absolutely hated them although I have to say that I didn't choose the best day to break them in as I walked in them 5 hours straight. They are very uncomfortable the first few times you wear them. I had to get used to the very high back that cut into my heel and the large tongue that felt like cardboard rubbing into my ankle. I was very upset because I'd given it a lot of thought before purchasing them and they are not the cheapest. I'd never before thought that you had to break in a pair of sneakers, they are supposed to be very comfortable from the start so I thought I'd made a huge mistake in buying them. After a few more wears, though I absolutely adore them. They are so stylish that they elevate many of the looks I would usually pair with high heels or more feminine shoes. Great review, I should have watched this before getting my first Vejas so I'd been more prepared of what was coming. I'm thinking of getting the Wata style for my hubby as he loves Converse but has wider feet. Thanks for your great tips!

[@Allynano1]

I had the same problem with the tongue on the V10s and I just folded it. They look great and after 3-4 wears, it stays folded even as you take them off

[@MsZanev]

Such a helpful video! Thank you so much for doing this!

[@viewed_by_heather]

I bought 3 pairs of Veja's because of you! I'm a 41.5 and have the same half size problem. 41 fits with thinner socks and my Birkenstock insoles but I have horribly flat feet and am supposed to use custom orthotics but the heel cup is so deep in my orthotics that it pushes my foot too far forward and crushes my toes but with the smaller insoles the fit well. I have two pairs of the leather V-10 (both are from the Madewell collab) and a pair of dusty rose suede Esplar and none of those were made in a 42 if I'm not mistaken. I would love to get a pair of the Roraima just because I love that style of mid height sneaker and either the Rick Owens V-Kint or Condor for the gym sometime in the future. Thank you for introducing me to this awesome brand!!

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you, Im glad you love them ❤️

[@cazcouture2369]

GREAT REVIEW! With the help of your review I finally bought my first Veja sneakers. I got the Campo sneakers. :)

[@ys-sw2lt]

Thanks so much for sharing!! I’m in Japan and have wanted to get a pair of veja but couldn’t find an actual store to try and have to purchase online while there are so many types and colors👀 Now I know I definitely want one of Campos🥰 Thanks😚😚

[@user-hw3th7eq9z]

Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️ I am also a 40.5 and your review could not be more detailed!

[@alisonkuppusamy9085]

I have 2 pairs so comfy after a few wears 👍🏻

[@sho9214]

Love your review I think now I know which one to buy!!! Thanks a lot I think Campo is more comfy for long walk

[@essentiallyann2650]

I have the V10's in the white with white V. I am a 36.5 and got a size 37, perfect. The tongue was the slightest bit stiff and sharp in the beginning; normale breaking them in by wearing them for short periods in the house or out when I knew I didn't have to walk too much, helped perfectly. Now they are like bedroom slippers. I have some YSL trainers which even after a year kill the front of my ankle, so these are winners.

[@sdoohan]

I’ve got a couple pairs of Esplars and a pair of Rio blancos, both very comfortable!! I bought one pair from veja directly but would probably just look for stockists in future due to delivery charges. I had a query about sizing which they weren’t very helpful with, but I think that was maybe a language barrier and not poor service.

[@jodycharles1696]

Needed this in my life! Mind reader!! 👌☺️

[@Ni_kki__]

The trainers look so nice Em and it’s great to see your collection,I personally live in my Adidas black and white superstars! 👟

[@Sophsheis]

I live in Spain and I ordered from the website last week and it was delivered in just 2 days. I got the campo but now im eyeing the V10. About the size, im a size 42 with wide feet and the campos are spacious. No blisters at all. So I highly recommend them.

[@tedrobles3306]

would you recommend going true to size?

[@thats_sarang4143]

Watching from South Korea. And I actually plan to buy a VEJA shoes probably 2 or 3 pairs for work reasons. And this vid is so informative and helpful. Thank you. I know now what style and size I should get.

[@clan_fraser19]

I just ordered a pair of Campo and I can’t wait to wear them. Just hoping I can break them in properly and that they’ll be comfortable! Absolutely love that they’re sustainable and eco-friendly.

[@maroyceee]

I have a pair of the Campo! They were a little stiff at first but I love them and they are so comfy. I work them for a 4 hour retail shift the first time I wore them and had no issue!

[@jeh8642]

where can i buy in the US?

Just took them out of the box. Ordered from the veja website, the service is good. The fit is fantastic, though the tongue will take some time to soften.

[@stephaniedaniel3703]

Awesome review very detailed 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@nicoleb0425]

Yes!!! Clicked so fast once I got the notif!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Dear Em, we DO rely on you for product testing and advice! I’ve been reluctant to try Veja’s because I have wide toes and their style, with the hard rubber that comes up over the toes (what this American calls Keds style, maybe in UK Plimsolls are similar?). I couldn’t find any wide sizes on their site and I’ve checked back several times.

[@haitchycook]

I have the Campos - so very comfortable - highly recommend 👍🏼

[@sofluffyunicorn]

Thanks, I've bought the V12 and had to return them because the tong was so stiff. I will order the Campos it seems that the tong of the shoe is more flexible.

[@tedrobles3306]

Would you recommend going true to size

[@kathrynhaugh6094]

Hey! Me and my other half have both ordered from the veja site! Super easy and they keep you updated really well! Although I did go in to Office (another stockist!) to try them on before hand because returns to them are at the customers expense 😊

[@kathrynhaugh6094]

Oh and the vegan V10s are super comfortable!

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you 👍🏼

[@leonacharleighholman6034]

Thank you for the information...I've wondered about these forever. By the way, it's called tree harvesting or rubber tree harvesting.

[@kasiapreising]

Thanks for your review Emma, 🙌🏼 just placed an online order in Veja store for my first two pairs Esplar and SDU B 🤞

[@EmmaHill]

❤️

[@janb2425]

I have a black leather pair of the trainers. I bought them 3.5 years ago. I've worn them one year every other day for everything. Then washed them good and degraded them to "lab day shoes" After one year in the lab (and minor washing between) I put them in the washing machine again and used them for one complete tennis season, because I could not find my tennis shoes. After all this they hold up sooo well that I put them into the washing machine again for a third time and now I wear them every other day again. I NEVER expected them to hold up so well. It's just crazy.

[@tamarascharf6959]

Great service on their site - had a discount code and delivery was within 2 days within Europe - they also have colors on their site I couldn’t get anywhere else - top!

[@JuliesDresscode]

Wonderful sneakers! I love to wear this kind of shoes! Thanks for sharing! 🤗🧡

[@liliankim90]

Thank you for doing this video. I had many questions on Veja sneakers -- specifically comfort and which ones were more comfortable than others.

[@kayphua3848]

Hi Emma! Thank you for this great video! I have juz recently got my 3rd pair of Veja..after learning of this brand from you in your previous videos! I juz love..love them! My first pair was a v-10 and amazingly I have no issues with them..they are absolutely comfy! Probably I have thicker skin on my feet??!?! 😅😅 And I got another 2 pairs of v-12 which are amazing too!! ♥️ And I have to agree.. it is hard to stop at juz what we already have!! 🤣

For me size wise is no problem. 39 fits me perfectly.

[@SydneyDiva]

I am usually 8.5 or 39 and the Size 39 (UK6, USA8) fit me perfectly too. I had to go into store to try on coz Emma's sizing dilemma scared me off purchasing without trying them on. I also find them very comfortable.

[@Draphcone]

I love the aesthetics of the V Knits a lot but I can't really rock such a fancy pair of shoes

[@marlene199]

I did cut the tongue of the v10 and now they are perfect.

[@garancee5418]

Hi Emma ! I'm french and this is my experience with Veja. The website and the shipping process is GREAT and incredibly fast, but I went to the first Veja shop in Paris (rue du Poitou in Le marais) and they don't have all the sizes and styles because everyone went to the shop and they were out of stock in european size 37 and 38. I bought the Campo in burgundy but my normal size is a european 37,5. The 37 were too small and the 38 a bit big but as we are in winter I choose the 38. The campo style is incredibly comfortable and I tried the esplar and they are less comfy.. My sister has the V10 and in this style they are waaaaay bigger. She had to size down one size. As you said the tongue of the shoe is hard and way to long but we cut it and it was fine. In conclusion, Veja are a very nice brand and I recommend it :)

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

Even though I don't have any and have no immediate plans to get some, I still found your rundown fascinating. I kinda like shopping by proxy.

[@PAULOCESARSANTOCOSTA]

Kudos to you for saying the brand's name properly

[@christianamitropoulou454]

Most accurate review ever. I am half size and I have tried them on but I found them very uncomfortable. But if you say they will get softer eventually I guess you are right.

I have a leather pair of V10s and I found them sooooo uncomfortable!!! Like I was limping after a full day of walking in them. I only wear them for short amounts of time or when I won’t be walking much. However after over a year of wearing them, they finally don’t feel super painful 😝

[@julianagx7464]

They are made in Brazil, which is where I live, but for wathever reason the brand here is named vert, not veja. Same models, same sneakers, though. I have the v10 and I absolutelly loooove them. I always say, d'ont give up on them in the beggining because of the tongue rubbing. They get really comfortable after a few uses.

I’ve used the Veja website, as I live in the American South. I’m a US/UK/EU 12/11/45 in most all shoes. My first pair was a V-12 model in size 45. They were TERRIBLY , PAINFULLY small. I then checked out the size chart and it said that it was a size US 11.5. Lengthwise they were fine, but width wise they were too narrow. This was worsened by the “old leather”. I ordered them in final sale on Mr. PORTER, so I couldn’t return. This time around I got a V-10 and a Rio Bronco, in a size EU 46. They fit perfectly.

[@soledadmcnally]

You look gorgeous with the new haircut!

[@rvw8]

I have 5 pairs of the V-10's and for the tongue issue I fold the tounge under so it just lines up with my low ankle socks. Works great. No rubbing or stabbing into the ankle area. I guess I could cut them though!

[@nikolevskiboris6935]

Great review! Im choosing between the V10 and Campo and need an advice about the long-walks comfort since the V10 has different sole? Also, is the rubber of higher quality because of the bending? Thanks!

[@LFredz]

Love this brand. I actually don’t think £115 is that expensive for quality trainers. I have far more expensive pairs but trainers are my go to footwear. Great Vid. 😘

[@elizabethsmith1803]

I have had my eye on them in my local branch of Office. As a half size myself, I feel for you and if I can try before I buy I do. Come the spring, probably: I work in an office so my useage of trainers is limited. I’ll almost certainly go for leather. Incidentally the history of rubber production in the Amazon is grim, to put it mildly. Even in the 1920s the abuses were recognised as being massive.

[@philippawood5047]

That historical abuse was all Leonardo DiCaprio's doing! All of it! (joke) Thank you for bringing this up because unfortunately the rubber boom caused irrevocable damage to indigenous communities. 😞

[@elizabethsmith1803]

Whether or not it’s still available even on Amazon (pardon the pun) I don’t know but try “Exploration Fawcett” by Col. PH Fawcett written in 1924 though my copy is 1950s. Fawcett himself disappeared on his final expedition in 1925 and many stories surround him. He was a bit of a character and a good friend of Arthur Conan Doyle; the rock formation becoming “The Lost World” was identified by him and without doubt the character of Lord John Roxton was modelled on Fawcett. “The Lost World” is Doyle’s best known work apart obviously from Holmes. Some of the views they both espoused sound decidedly odd now but in the aftermath of the First World War spiritualism was at least understandable and was mainstream. Sorry to ramble a bit!

Great video, but sadly, Veja's and I do not get along very well. My feet need the breathability and flexibility of leather footwear and I actually tore a tendon after wearing Veja's for a day of heaving walking (confirmed by my podriatrist). Too bad, because they are beautiful. Wearing G-Stars now which are gentler on the tendons.

Thank u sooo much Emma for this review. You have thoroughly done ur research on this company nit only for urself but for myself & others.
