Are VEJA true to size? Even if you know your own shoe size, sometimes when you've bought a new pair of sneakers they unfortunately don't fit right. So we're going to take a look at the different VEJA sneakers available and make sure we find the right size for you.
How to determine your own shoe size
First of all, it is important to determine your own shoe size. When you order sneakers online, it is not as easy as when you walk into a shoe shop and can try on the shoe on the spot.
Here is what you need to measure your own shoe size:
- 2 sheets of A4 paper
- A pencil
- A ruler
How to calculate the dimensions of your foot:
Take a sheet of paper and the pencil, choose a wall you can stand upright against, and put your heel all the way up against it. It is best to put on the socks you will also wear in your new shoes. Secure the sheet of paper to the floor with tape or your weight and stand on it with your heel against the wall. It is best to ask someone to draw around your foot with the pencil. Once you have a nice outline, grab a ruler and measure the distance from the heel to the tip of your big toe. Record this result in centimetres.
Repeat this process on your other foot too. It may sound duplicate, but for many people, the sizes differ from one foot to another. Then take the largest foot as a reference to determine your shoe size using the appropriate table. Remember that information from different manufacturers may differ and therefore you should always follow their size charts.
The Sizing Guide for VEJA
VEJA V-10
Of course we start with a classic. The V-10 from VEJA is designed in a wide variety of styles: leather, suede, vegan or even with mesh. And it is always sustainably produced. Its minimalist design is currently very much in vogue.
But for this model you should always upsize half a size. Because the shoes are bigger than normal. However, you must also take into account that the shoes can still widen a little depending on the upper material!
VEJA V-12
The VEJA V-12 model is known for its comfort and durability. With a minimalist design, the sneaker is versatile, pairing well with a range of outfits with colorways of white, black, and neutral tones.
For the VEJA V-12, they tend to run a little large, so you can either purchase your normal size, or size down half a size if you need to.
VEJA V-15
The VEJA V-15 is a newer addition to the brand's lineup, featuring a mid-top design that offers ankle support. Its clean aesthetic and white colorways make it a stylish favourite in urban environments.
The V-15 can be a little narrow, so it's recommend to size up half a size, to a full size for wider feet.
VEJA Campo
The VEJA Campo is also popular, especially for its minimalist design. Visually, the V logo on the side and the Heel Tab come in a variety of colours.
The upper is made of one material throughout, mostly leather, but there are also vegan alternatives with similar characteristics. Here you are on the safe side with your normal size. The sneakers also have a common cut, so even with wide or narrow feet there's usually no problem!
VEJA Rio Branco
A somewhat different model is the Rio Branco, which when compared to other VEJA styles has a rather rough, sporty silhouette. Its distinctive sole gives it a stylish profile. The upper of the sneaker consists of mesh and overlays made of suede, giving the fit on the foot very flexible, as the materials stretch a little better than leather and also adapt to the foot.
Here you can order your normal size, as the model fits true to size. Because of the flexible upper you should have no problems with wider feet.
VEJA Esplar
The Esplar from VEJA is currently very popular and is very versatile. The sneakers have a flexible and comfortable leather upper. The silhouette is cut a bit narrow and has a thinner sole than other VEJA models.
If you have very wide feet you can be on the safe side with half a size more. Otherwise the shoe fits true to size.
