Such a nice experience dealing with Wair. I got my new sneakers very fast and with a personal handwritten note explaining about how they have been produced and from what materials.

Company details

  1. Fashion accessories shop

Written by the company

Upcycled sneakers made from textile waste and recycled materials. The sneakers are designed with circularity in mind and can be taken back after being used. The first company in the world to be producing upcycled sneakers on scale. VAER is aiming to minimize the amount of textile waste, by using already existing textiles, that still have a lot of value left in them. The materials that are used for the rest of the sneaker, are made from recycled and natural materials - eg. 70% recycled cotton laces, 56% recycled rubber soles and a natural fiber mix in the insoles. The company is based in Copenhagen, Denmark, where all of our sneakers are designed. The production takes place in Portugal at a family-owned factory with ethical production.

Great pair of trainers

I've had my trainers for a while now (bought them while they still went by their original name) and thought I give it a while before commenting on them, to see how they wear.

The shoes are still in great condition and have worn well.
Since buying, I've had regular emails keeping me up-to-date with the latest news and developments from the company and it's been good to see the company develop their shoes and brand.

I love my VARE and look forward to replacing my current pair once they've worn out.

Always again!

I love my VAER, not just for the idea of re-using cloth leftovers also because they are a bit more thicker, which makes them really comfortable to wear. It makes them also very good for wearing when it is still a bit too cold outside for converse.
The contact about the arrival was very personal and I got even some recommendations on how to maintain them best (thanks Lili) :-).

VÆR sneakers and values - YES!

VÆR as a company has values that I can get behind and very much appreciate, and every single detail seems carefully thought through.
The sneakers are comfortable and very wearable, although I did have a slight issue at first. The shoe would rub against my ankle and cause a slight abrasion, this was easily solved by inserting an extra sole. So now they are a favourite of mine and I love wearing them!

Awesome!

Awesome! I wear WAIR sneakers (Phoenix) almost every day. They are perfect for a walk, sport as well as for my job as a waitress. They are really comfortable, unique, and eco-friendly at the same time. <3

Personal, unique and robust

From when I first wrote Wair to when I've walked in the shoes for several days, I am more than pleased by this shoe.

The design of the shoe is unique, and it has a lot more personality than a factory made ordinary shoe.

The Wair team is quick to process your order and answer your questions, and the transaction of both money and words feels genuine and wholesome.

This is not my last shoe from Wair.

Helping the planet one shoe at a time!

I am very supportive of ethical and sustainable products. My good friend, Linda, works for Wair and has informed me of all the exciting things the company has been doing for the community and for footwear! I was very happy to make my first purchase of a Wair shoe, which was a very easy process!

I cannot wait to wear it, so I can show it off to my colleagues and friends in the U.S.

I will recommend everyone to support this company as they work hard to support this planet.
