Good comfy sneakers and wide enough for a slightly wider foot. The inner sole is quite stiff and firm when compared to chucks or vans but still comfy - think Birkenstock soles. Would buy again.
I've been looking for ages for a pair of fully vegan shoes that are comfortable and stylish and these are perfect! They fit well to size, really good to walk in , and feel structured and sturdy. Super happy!
Comfy shoes but not convinced they are worth the hassle. The laces gave out and snapped almost straight away, and had to be replaced (happened to both sets). Then the canvas colour faded quickly, the shoes are now a ashy/dark grey colour. Lastly, they tore from under the ankle to the sole. I will try and get them repaired but not sure I would purchase again. I've had the shoes less than a year.
Hi Donald, thanks for the feedback - genuinely appreciate it as even more challenging reviews provide good points for us to be continually improving against.
1. Re the laces - this has been a ongoing problem that's plagued some of our production over the past few years. We've finally changed suppliers so this shouldn't be an issue going forward. I wish you'd reached out at the time - we send out replacement sets to everyone who needs them.
2. The fading on our darkest colour pairs is a difficult compromise we've had to make when using environmentally friendly dyes.
3. The 'tearing through from the ankle to the sole' definitely isn't typical of our quality and is hard to gauge without seeing photos, but this can happen with a lot of wear over a long period of time. It's something that all canvas sneakers have to contend with, as natural fibre canvas ultimately doesn't have quite the same shear strength when compared to some synthetics. We think it's a compromise worth making however!
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!
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.
These shoes are stylish, comfortable, affordable, don't give you blisters, and make you feel good about supporting sustainability. What more could you ask for? Oscar in customer service is a gem and was so helpful giving me sizing advice. I got a 39 (my usual EU size) and they are perfect, so I'd say go with the euro size.
Perfect fit, comfy and look great.
So comfortable!!! Awesome!! Stoked!!
Collective Canvas are making the effort to look after the planet, AS WELL AS producing such a comfy good-looking sneaker. What is there not to love?!🤩🤩 I’m a repeat customer!
Very cute and comfortable straight away! I have only worn them once so far but they seem like great quality, we’ll see if they hold up well unlike some of the competitors🤞
Excellent shoes, I love that they are an NZ company, sustainably made and transparently priced. They look great and are super comfy!
Sooo comfy, love how well these shoes last.
Big fan of a plant based shoe let alone a kiwi company! Great comms with the team prior to purchasing, quick shipping times. Fair price love the transparency. Only shoe I’ve been wearing since they arrived. Will 100% purchase from Collective Canvas again!
Never wore any shoes as comfy as these. Like I would live in these if I could. The cork insole is surprisingly soft and now I can’t see myself living without shoes like this. I will gladly buy more of the range in the future.
These shoes were immediately comfy and they go with anything! It feels great knowing they're good for the planet too - thanks team CC :)
Shoes arrived in beautiful packaging of paper and cardboard, and shoes so far fit well, beautiful and well structured. Looking forward to putting some miles into them and testing durability.
I absolutely love them! Well made and comfy, highly recommend!
Was looking high and low for a pair of sustainable/ethical casual shoes. Love these ones a lot - super comfy, cool styles and an awesome brand
Wide, comfortable fit, true to size, and feel nice and sturdy for everyday.
Good shoes, service and would buy again
The shoes looks smart. Thank you. Out of comfort is give it a 6 out of 10. I felt the back around heal is low. It very flat shoes. Plus it is quite hard to open to get in to it.
Love my trainers! They took a few wears to break in at the back but now they are very comfortable and the quality is amazing! Highly recommend!
Third pair of these in a new colour way. Perfect for a casual but elevated fit
Absolutely love these shoes. I get so many compliments every time I wear them. I love the style and I really love the brown colour that gives them a point of difference. They’re super comfortable and most importantly they are sustainable! If I’m going to buy something new I want it to be ethical. Often that makes things unaffordable but these are really reasonably priced so it’s a win-win
I’ve worn these for the past few days and so far so good :) they look nice - a similar look to vans sneakers. You do need to break them in, and they’re not super comfortable in the beginning. Especially in the toe area. I bought them because they were eco friendly and I liked the style. I also like how you can send them back to be recycled at the end of their life. The real test will be if they last longer than two years. If they do I will be really happy. Thanks collective :)
Been looking for a black minimalist sneakers and I’m really glad to have seen your ad on my IG feed. Love the different designs available too…and they’re COMFY!
Extremely comfortable and great fit. I’ll be buying another pair in a different colour
Very nice quality for the plant based material. Look tidy and comfortable to wear. Look just like the photos.
So stylish and comfortable! Collective Canvas are my go-to shoes for everyday wear.
Best ever sneakers for everyone ...love love love ❤️
Love these - they look great and are very comfortable to wear. Sized up by half and they fit perfectly.
