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 🥰
Just brought my second pair because the first pair are so comfortable. Trying out a new colour too. I love the company philosophy and great there was no plastic packaging.
My new sneakers satisfy the exacting demands of this grannie for style, comfort, and eco-friendliness. They feel light on my feet, but at the same really supportive. Love at first wear.
I’m really enjoying my Veld Hemp Coffee/Pink sneakers! They’re comfy, easy to wear, and I love the earthy colour combination, it’s a fun change from plain sneakers. They feel well made and have quickly become one of my favourite everyday pairs. The hemp fabric gives them a really nice texture too.
Honestly, ordering sneakers from New Zealand to Switzerland sounds a bit crazy. But as a massive All Blacks fan, I stumbled upon this kiwi brand and obviously had to go with the all-black version. No synthetic trash, just sharp design and great natural materials. Now that they’ve arrived, I can confirm the quality is top-notch. It's a premium, independent sneaker you won’t see on every street corner here in Europe – a real eye-catcher. No regrets about the shipping distance. Great job, guys.
I’ve bought Collective Canvas shoes for a few years now. I find them really good shoes. This is my first pair with the “Veld” design. They look really good and fit well.
versatile colour, comfy and cute
plus kinder to the environment
Super comfy, sturdy and yet soft. Great shoes for walking around the city.
A perfect pair of shoes for comfort and style. I had to order a size up from normal, and they fit really well. And, great to know the shoes on my feet don't leave a long term impact on the environment.
Great shoes. Takes a little time to break them in with the cork soles but looking forward to the softness and comfort in time.
These look great and seem well-made. They are a lot heavier than I was expecting and the sole is quite solid, but does provide good cushioning. The after-care notes say 'If you can, avoid wearing them two days in a row so they dry out fully', which may not bode well for breathability. Haven't worn them much yet due to ongoing heatwaves, but hope to get plenty of wear in the future.
Stoked with the pair. Super lightweight and they look really good!
Very comfy shoes and they look great. Big fan of the recycling program and the effort made to make these shoes sustainable.
Great looking sturdy shoes made of natural materials. Immediately comfortable although still a little wearing in to do at this early stage. I like the plainness of the Baan design - no excessive sporty stripes, just solid colour chic.
Already my second pair, can highly recommend these!🫶
As a big foot biddie some shoes can make my feet look very long (I know it shouldn’t matter) but these shoes make them look like normal sized feet due to the careful design and I genuinely enjoy that haha. Other than that, the cork sole in the shoe is frikken Devine. So very comfortable, they look sick, I’m supporting a smaller purpose driven business with Mother Nature in mind and I can tell they’re going to last me a while. 10/10 and recommend highly. Thanks guys!
Love these sneakers, very comfortable and love that they are made from nature products
