About a year ago, one of my friends who has a love for conscious fashion, introduced me to Veja. I had heard of the brand + seen the different styles through various platforms but never really thought twice about it. After my friend told me Veja used responsibly sourced materials + were ethically made I was allllll in.
I LOVE the fact that their sneakers are responsibly made without compromising on design. I now own two different pairs + can stand behind the statement they are worth your penny . . . but since they are a bit pricey, you want to make sure to get the fit right. Below I have shared a few tips + tricks I have picked up when buying a new pair of Veja Sneakers.
SIZING GUIDE:
I would say I have a pretty average sized foot, I’m a pretty true 7.5 shoe, not really narrow or wide. So I ordered a size 37 + have been very happy with the way they fit. Overall, I’d say that they are very true to size, so I’d recommend getting your normal size when buying Veja’s. However, if you’re on the edge for sizes + have wider feet, I would say to go bigger rather than smaller because it’s always easier to fit into a sneaker that’s too big than one that’s leaving you with cramped toes. You know, as they say, life is too short to not wear comfortable shoes and Veja sneakers are definitely comfortable!
SIDE NOTE: From my shoe buying experience, low top sneakers can sometimes rub little in the beginning, but haven’t had any problems with my Veja’s. 11/ 10 recommend these shoes + brand.
SHOE CARE:
I have recently have become a BIG fan of Jason Markk shoe cleaner. It seriously gets the job done + gives your old shoes a new life. Plus it’s very straightforward to use – you just mix it with water and apply it with a sponge. It works wonders on all white or worn down shoes.
