The V-10 is probably Veja’s most famous model and a best-seller. It has a classic, sporty look and is available in many different color combinations.

The V-10 tends to be a little larger and can stretch over time, especially the leather versions. Many wearers recommend choosing a size smaller if you are between sizes or have narrow feet. This way the shoe will fit snugly enough at first and then stretch out perfectly.

Similar to the V-10 but with a higher cut, the V-12 offers more support. It runs true to size but has a tighter fit compared to other models . The B-Mesh upper made from recycled plastic bottles offers flexibility. If you prefer a roomier fit or have wider feet, consider going up a size.

The Esplar is a minimalist sneaker and the first model from Veja. It is more subtle and versatile. It is usually made of leather or canvas.

The Esplar runs true to size , but may appear narrower in the toe area. If you have normal to narrow feet, your usual size will fit well. If you have wider feet, it might be a good idea to go a size larger to give your toes more room.

The Campo is another popular model that impresses with its simple design and durability. The Veja Campo is often made from ChromeFree leather, a sustainable alternative to conventional leather.

The Campo usually fits true to size and is well suited to normal to narrow feet. The ChromeFree leather means it adapts well to the foot over time. Choose your usual size as the material stretches slightly and quickly becomes more comfortable.

The Veja Rio Branco is a sporty retro-style sneaker with a padded sole for extra comfort. Its typical materials are usually Alveomesh (a breathable material made from recycled polyester) and suede or nubuck leather details.

The Rio Branco is also true to size , but has a sportier, padded design. It’s well suited for everyday wear and sports activities. Your usual size should fit here , and the mesh fabric stretches a little after breaking in.

The Condor is Veja’s first eco-friendly running shoe and a favorite among those looking for both fashion and functionality. It uses bio-based and recycled materials such as Alveomesh and sugar cane.

The Condor is designed for sporting activities and is rather narrow . For a comfortable fit for wider feet, we recommend choosing a size larger. Otherwise, the normal size fits well and ensures a stable fit when running.

The Urca is similar to the Campo but is completely vegan, using CWL instead, a corn-based alternative leather option. Vegan and eco-friendly, suitable for shoppers who want to avoid animal products entirely.

The Urca is a vegan version of the Campo and is similar in size – true to size . Here, too, you should choose your regular size , as the CWL material, like leather, easily adapts to the foot.

How do Veja sneakers generally fit?
Veja sneakers generally fit true to size. However, if you are unsure or are between sizes, it is recommended to go for the smaller size as the leather can stretch over time.

Are there half sizes for Veja sneakers?
No, Veja sneakers do not come in half sizes. If you are between sizes, it is recommended that you choose the next full size down for the best fit.

How can I determine my correct size for Veja shoes?
To determine your correct size, measure the length of your foot and compare it to the Veja size chart. Since Veja uses European sizes, you can convert your size using their size chart. It is also helpful to read reviews and consider the specific model you are interested in, as some may have a slightly different fit due to the upper and materials used.

What if I have wider feet?
If you have wider feet, it is recommended to go half a size up, although Veja does not offer half sizes. In such cases, the next full size might offer a more comfortable fit. However, this may vary depending on the specific model and materials used.

How do different Veja models fit compared to each other?
Different Veja models can fit slightly differently due to their design and the materials used. For example, the Veja Esplar is known for its slimmer sole and fit, making it suitable for those with narrow feet, while the Veja V-12 offers a higher cut and more support. The Veja Campo is generally comfortable and versatile, but the fit can be a little tight depending on the materials used.
