Many of those who own a Nova praise the shoe for its versatility. Due to the sneaker’s simple yet unique style, many eur that this model “can be worn with everything.”

“They can be worn for a walk in town or add a casual touch to a more chic office outfit,” one reviewer said. Someone also found the pair to be “a bit preppy and too classic depending on what [they] pair them with.”

All things considered, you should not have too much trouble fitting these into your current sneaker rotation.

The Nova can get dirty easily since it features a full canvas upper. One commenter said that it was “difficult to keep the white, white.” The “V” logo being silkscreened also does not make things any easier. According to an expert, putting this sneaker in the wash will cause the logo to come off resulting in “an absolute travesty.”

There seems to be a disagreement among the Nova owners regarding the shoe’s comfort. A lot of people have commented on how comfortable it is, especially for something that is not a running shoe. On the other hand, plenty of wearers found it to be quite the opposite. Deferring to an expert review does not seem to help either, since her comment was a mix of both camps.

People who bought a pair of lifestyle veja Novas had a wide variety of comments regarding the sneaker’s fit and sizing. Some found it too narrow, while others found it ”much too wide” due to the unisex sizing. However, the reviews had one thing in common: these sneakers do run a full size too long. 

One buyer pointed out that their pair has a “bit too much extra room to look and be comfortable to walk in without them leaving [their] feet.” A Youtuber who did a review of her lifestyle veja collection, said that she “could definitely wear [the Novas] with a thicker sock and/or an insole.”

Canvas is a very light material, and since these sneakers have a full canvas upper, a great deal of sneakerheads have commented on the Novas being a great option for the summer. One fan pointed out that it is “quite breathable and light enough for warm weathers.” 

Supporting a good cause

It is no surprise that some of those who bought the Novas feel like they are contributing to a noble cause because, like other lifestyle veja sneakers, this one is sustainable. “I can now feel like I’m doing what I can for the Earth even as far as my style and fashion go!”, one enthusiast exclaimed. Overall, people love the idea that these shoes are a sustainable and “pretty ethical” product.

At $100, the lifestyle veja Novas are 40% more expensive than the average price of a low-cut canvas sneaker in our database ($70). However, this can easily be attributed to how ethical products cost a lot more to make. Rest assured, as mentioned in the previous chapter, you are supporting a good cause by buying these.
