Best shoes I have ever worn

Of course the ethics of the waes shoe brought me to want to buy, but I wasn’t expecting them to be so comfortable to wear. These shoes are beautifully made, thoughtfully presented and a pleasure to wear.

Magical

I am so happy everything about my new shoes. The delivery, packing and notifications exceeded my expectations. The shoes themselves are like walking on air. They look great and feel wonderful. I am very pleased with them and planning my next pair. I have already recommended them to everybody I know!! I have been searching for an environmentally friendly product that actually works and looks good and fits - thank you they are perfect.

Astonishing comfort and materials, great style, everything is here.

As a textile engineer working in the sneaker industry for eco-conception, Waes is my top pick for leather kicks! Apart from the fact that the shoes look even better in real life, I was struck by the quality of materials (which I know quite some about) and the comfort they offer. I'll probably never buy anything else than natural latex sole from now on.
Congrats for all the work behind such beautifully crafted products!
Also love the customer experience (booklet is fire) AND customer service. I can only recommend this brand. Thanks for offering such a good option in this industry.

Comfortable, expect higher quality for the price

I'm happy with the product. The fact they are compostable is very wonderful.

These are super comfortable shoes. I love the flex, the softness of the leather and insole. The fact they are waterproof is good.

However for the price I would expect a higher quality finish. There is a few loose threads on the exterior interior and little rubber 'tags'. The insole came loose very quickly. I don't mind too much, as it means I can dry them out, but perhaps use more and stronger glue, or simply leave them as detachable.

Thank you, I hope they will last

Excellent shoes, excellent customer service

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Issues due to lockdown in the Uk and Portugal were dealt with impeccably by Rui and Ed.
