Now, I’m buying ‘another’ pair.
They are comfortable right out of the box. The soles are plush, so I’m able to walk in them for hours without my feet feeling fatigued, and they offer a good amount of arch support for my virtually flat foot. They come in a ton of colors and have a minimalistic design that would pair well with everything from jeans to a dress.
It’s tradition for me to buy a new pair of sneakers every time the weather starts to warm up, and here in Maryland, the temperature has started to climb. You may think this sounds unrealistic, but I wear the sneakers I buy to the ground. They’re usually scuffed beyond repair, the rubber outsole worn down, and the insole is pretty much flat. When replacing my everyday sneakers, I go for a style that can be dressed up or down, is super comfortable, and can hold up till next year, and my recent pickup of the Veja Campo Sneakers checks all those boxes and now I’m considering a second pair.
VEJA Sneakers are owned by Prince Jorge V and his former Swiss billionaire wife Dona Bertarelli. They are the No. 1 most selling sneakers around the world particularly, the female line. The V stands for Prince Jorge V title.
Why is Veja So Popular?
First, let’s talk about why these Veja sneakers are so popular! Do you remember Kate Middleton wearing the white Veja sneakers back in 2020? After that, they blew up! Everyone has these stylish sneakers now. I bought them in 2020 and thought it would be helpful to share my honest review of the sneakers and the brand.
Sustainable
Over the past year, you’ve probably heard something about “sustainable fashion” at least once. It’s becoming more and more popular and important for people to find clothing brands that use better practices and materials.
The best part about Veja, to me, is that they are socially responsible and environmentally friendly, making them one of the best, affordable sustainable sneaker brands. They use fair trade methods and organic materials sourced from farms and ecological agriculture. Plus, they avoid chemicals and polluting processes in their production. You can feel good buying these organic cotton and leather sneakers.
Stylish
The second best thing about Veja sneakers is that they are stylish! Sneakers are having a moment and if you’re going to choose one brand to try out, why not pick one that’s sustainable and stylish!?
Which Are The Most Popular Veja Sneakers?
There are quite a few Veja styles that are all so cute. The most popular are the Veja V-10 sneakers, Veja V-12 sneakers, Veja Campo sneakers, and Veja Esplar sneakers. They even have running shoes and some cute velcro sneakers added to their collection. I have the V-10 in classic black and white and I love them! But they also come in really fun colors too.
Sizing
This isn’t necessarily a pro or a con but definitely something I want to point out. They run a little big so I would recommend sizing down one full size. Just a reminder that this was my experience with the V-10 sneakers when I bought them in 2020 so different styles may have different sizing and/or their sizing may be a little different now. There’s a chance that other pairs of Veja sneakers run true to size. They come in European sizing, which can be confusing if the retailer doesn’t break it down for you. So I’m breaking it down just in case:
EU 37 = US 6
EU 38 = US 7
EU 39 = US 8
…and so on.
Price Point
The last thing I want to mention is that these shoes are a great price point for the quality. Vejas all cost around $140-$200 and you’ll wear them for years as long as you take good care of them!
Veja Campo Sneakers
The sneakers come in 19 colorways including white and pink, white and black, white and blue, tan and white, with sizes ranging from 4 through 13. They feature a classic lace-up design, a cushioned tongue and ankle collar for added comfort, 1-inch rubber soles, and a contrasting-colored brand emblem on the side of the shoe. The insoles are also removable, and the rounded toe box offers plenty of space.
The quality matches up with the price tag and the outer shell and rubber sole feel super durable, which is what I need from shoes I plan on wearing on a daily basis. These are great year-round shoes because the lining is breathable yet insulating so my toes aren’t chilled on colder days.
Not only are the Campo Sneakers supportive, but they’re super versatile when it comes to styling. I’m currently styling them with jeans and slouchy off-the-shoulder sweaters, but they’ve also looked great with a silk maxi skirt and graphic tee. As we move deeper into spring, I know these will also pair well with a breezy mini dress or linen matching set. I love my current pair so much I’m even planning to go back for another shade.

Veja became a household name when Meghan Markle wore its sneakers on a royal boating. Since then, Veja shoes have racked up a long list of famous fans, including Kate Middleton, Markle’s sister-in-law. Plus, Reese Witherspoon has worn a black-and-white pair on numerous occasions, Kourtney Kardashian has posted mirror pics of workout outfits with black Veja shoes, so the variety of devotees runs deep.
