the shoes are very comfortable and are very well made. if you are between sizes after measuring your feet i would suggest sizing up as i feel like they will be a little tight in warmer weather (although the material may also relax a bit). i will say, the olive colour is far more olive than the pictures show (the pictures look more sage to me, however in real life the shoes are darker and have more of a true olive colour, maybe even khaki). overall pretty happy with my purchase, and love how sustainable they are!!
I switched to barefoot/minimalist shoes almost 10 years ago. although these don’t exactly fit into that category. They’re very comfortable with the foot issues I have. I would prefer a slightly wider toe box but overall extremely happy with these shoes. Comfortable and stylish. I kind of want one of every colour!
These are the comfiest shoes I've ever bought. Really happy with my purchase. true to size and they mould to your feet quickly. I am definately going to buy some of the other styles to add to my wardrobe!
Bought along with with Ecru and Coffee Looper. Found canvas quite stiff with the Navy, guessing this is just the dye and anticipate they will loosen with wear.
Love the colour, not to dark but makes the perfect statement.
So comfortable on first wear and excellent colour for all outfits. Was delighted to find the extra shoelaces tucked into the box. Looking forward to enjoying these this summer!
These shoes were exactly what i wanted and I am so thrilled with them - the right colour the fit and the style PERFECT
Love the colour, really comfortable so far and lightweight.
Eyeing up another pair in diff colour
This is my third pair of collective canvas sneakers - so comfy and great value for awesome quality!
The sneakers are excellent quality, a perfect fit, and (imho) very stylish. Ordering and delivery were straightforward, and they were packaged well too. I actually bought a second pair (different style) as I was so impressed with these.
Really comfy and I like how they included black laces too. Lovely informative customer service, answered all my questions and felt great not only supporting the environment but an NZ company too. Already eyeing up another pair to buy.
Comfortable and versatile. Have worn them almost everyday since they arrived.
Happy with the shoes - the insoles are comfy compared to other similar lightweight shoes.
Sizing comes up slightly small to size I think so if between sizes maybe go for the bigger size.
So comfortable with the wider toe width and no blisters from the first wear! Great sustainability ethic too
Really comfortable and love the stitching detail! I love that they are made of sustainable materials and I love the end of life recycling that Collective Canvas offers!
I ordered these after I couldn’t wait any longer for Supergas (which I’ve been wearing for years) to restock my size. I’m glad to support a NZ brand. These shoes are nice, well made a delivered quickly. I find the shoe laces to be too thin, as if they may snap from pulling them too tight, which I now need to do that I’ve broken them in and they have become loose.
I’ve had the opportunity to wear this pair for a few weeks now, and I’m overall very satisfied with my purchase.
The pros:
-Sleek and stylish design that stands out compared to more common brands.
-Quality materials and finish.
-Light, flexible, comfortable and breathable.
-The insole flexes and absorbs shocks, it’s a really nice touch.
Cons:
-Depending on your feet volume, the shoelaces might be a bit too long. I would prefer if they were a few centimeters shorter so that they don’t touch the ground after I tie them.
-If you’re having your shoes delivered outside of New Zealand, keep in mind that you might have to pay for customs when you receive them. Some companies include that cost in their total price, and it would have been good to know beforehand that it wouldn’t be the case here.
With that being said, I highly recommend this product and look forward to buying more pairs/models.
I hunted for the right sneakers… weighing up options for style, quality and price.
I LOVE my pair of veld hemp sneakers. I’m already planning my next pair. They’re SO comfortable, amazing quality, I feel super confident (love the colour!), get compliments regularly and SO chuffed that they’re ethical, long lasting and that I’m supporting a small local business. It feels ridiculous being so obsessed with a pair of shoes!
Have only worn them around home and the office for 4 days so far but very comfy and should wear in more over time as hemp does.
Very comfy soles and the rubber is skate-shoe quality like the good old days.
Cant yet give the full 5 star only because they meed more wear for me to judge that.
Look great, really comfy. Get lots of compliments. The fact that the ethics and customer service are fab only adds to a truly positive purchase.
I’m not normally an Insta shopper but I was intrigued and impressed by the Collective Canvas story. I liked the materials used and how they looked. After wearing them I am now fully convinced. They are fantastic shoes and would highly recommend!
Very happy with my new shoes and would definitely buy again , thank you Team 🥰
