Why is Veja so expensive?
Our VEJA sneakers cost 5 times more to produce than those of other brands. This is because we use fair trade and organic raw materials, ensuring a more equitable economic approach for all stakeholders in the production chain. Additionally, we invest in research and new technologies.
Why are Vejas uncomfortable?
Veja’s offer great support and a well-cushioned footbed, but they’re lacking in flexibility and freedom of movement due to the somewhat stiff leather exterior. Even after breaking them in, they still weren’t as flexible as I prefer in a pair of walking shoes.
