Who shouldn’t buy it

If you’re into running while saving the earth along the way, tVEJA KIDS V-10 MID SNEAKERS:

• A springy ride is what you’re looking for, go with the On Cloudmonster.
• You want runners that feel lighter than it actually weighs, the On Cloudgo VEJA x Marni V-10 leather low-top sneakers White.
• A comfortable run fresh out of the box is what you think shoes should be, pick up the Veja Kids Canary mesh-panel trainers. 

The Veja Marlin needs a break-in period

Fresh out of the box, these runners might need a bit of break-in. One fitness enthusiast mentioned, “no problems with needing to wear them in -they’re good to go!” However, an avid runner said: “you don’t get instant step-in comfort when you put these on for the first time.” 

Size up to get better comfort

The Veja Marlin delivers a super comfy experience with its spacious toe box and an incredibly cushioned midsole. But a better fit is achieved for most by going a half size up as mentioned by many critics. Another factor to consider though is that these shoes might be “a little bit long without necessarily being wide in the toe box” as said by an expert.

The overall structure of the Veja Marlin gives you a good run experience. According to an expert, it has a “weight that won’t hold you down” and a “design that literally drives your forward.” 

The Veja Marlin weighs 275 grams (9 US), making it just 3% heavier than the average weight of most neutral road running shoes on the market.

The shoe’s upper also has a durable, breathable fabric according to a couple of critics which makes this a great choice for the warmer, summer months.

The Veja Marlin is firm and fast

An expert mentioned how “the heel is elevated enough to constantly rock the foot forward.” This keeps runners on the balls of their feet, allowing them to “blast off with more energy,” according to the same critic. 

However, in terms of a springy experience, the Veja Marlin doesn’t promise that. As a runner mentioned, these shoes do not offer a “squish and release response.” The firm ride of these daily trainers lets the runner do the work. 

Keeps feet locked in for easier days

The heel counter which features an external support of Pebax is appreciated by a critic as it “keeps the foot nicely in place.” Another reviewer loved the panel on the upper and around the laces and said: “It’s a nice security measure -this offers nice support without choking circulation or being restrictive.” Lastly, the design of the outsole is praised by a critic as they said that this discourages overpronation or under pronation as the feet land.

A critic says that these runners would be great for casual runs. However, “I wouldn’t really take them further than a half marathon.” Another critic supported this by saying: “The Marlin really shines on the road running anywhere up to 15km.” According to an expert, these are a great fit for beginner runners or urban runners.

The Veja Marlin helps save the earth

A critic loved how these runners are sustainable and eco-friendly. Each part of the shoe is made with recycled plastic bottles or incorporated with natural raw materials such as sugarcane and Amazonian rubber, an expert says that in terms of overall structure and performance, the Veja Marlin “moves more into the ballpark of other traditional running shoes that aren’t eco-friendly.”
