Our notes
We've not changed our NY Sneakers much since they first launched in 2015. Like most models in our permanent collection, we've just made small tweaks and adjustments along the way to make them the best vegan sneakers we know how.
The newest update is to the uppers. In the latest batch they're made with our new matt-finish Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials) — we love this finish, we think it gives a more luxe look and feel, and we're now using it across all new batches of our white sneakers and trainers.
The other change is underfoot: the tan rubber outsoles now carry recycled content, made with 10% recycled rubber — you'll spot it in the flecks of material within them. Apart from that, nothing's changed. Same sidewall stitching on the outsoles, same stitching details through the uppers, same comfy fit, same attention to detail you'd expect from WVS — from the metal lace tips in 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy) to the extra-strong laces in 100% recycled polyester.
Inside, grey woven Tencel™ linings are soft against the foot, breathable and moisture-wicking to help keep your feet cool, sockless or not. Underfoot, cushioned layered insoles pair soft memory foam over a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU).
After all, what's there to change when you've got a classic silhouette?
- Upper
- Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials)
- Lining
- Grey woven Tencel™ linings – very soft against your feet, breathable and moisture-wicking to keep them fresh and dry
- Insole
- Cushioned layered insole – a soft memory foam top layer over a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU) cut to fit the shoe
- Outsole
- Hard-wearing rubber outsole made with 10% recycled rubber – a deep lugged tread for grip underfoot
- Laces
- Long, extra-strong laces (100% recycled polyester), with metal lace tips (100% zamak — a durable zinc alloy)
- Shank
- Steel shank for stability and support through the arch
- Hardware
- Metal eyelets and lace tips — both 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy)
- Construction
- Mounted (cemented) construction – the upper is lasted to shape and the outsole bonded directly underneath. The most widely used construction method in footwear, it gives a clean, flexible build, though the outsole isn't easily resoled
- Water Resistance
- Water-resistant for everyday wear – keeps you dry in rain, puddles, wet streets, and most winter conditions. Just avoid heavy saturation or full submersion.
- Width
- D width fitting – a slightly wider fit with more volume than standard
- Fit
- Order your usual size. Half size? Wider width fittings size up, narrower width fittings size down.
- Heel Height
- 2.5 cm
- Toe Height
- 2.5 cm
- Toe Shape
- Round toe

- Flat insole through the arch
- Break-in Time
- You should find these comfy straight out of the box.

My new daily fit. These have held up incredibly, and clean easily, so they look great
Very nice shoes ans confortable ! :-)
Diese Schule sind leicht, bequem und sehen gut aus. Besser geht es nicht.
They look nice. I thought it would be easier or more comfy to walk in, but its not that comfy for me to walk long in it. Maybe I need to wear it more for it to stretch a bit. Idk.
I deliberately bought these sneakers from WVShoes because I have business shoes from WVS, which absolutely meet my quality standards. I was very disappointed with white vegan sneakers from other brands because black cracks were visible very quickly, unfortunately also with these, despite optimal care. 4 weeks for the first signs of senility is neither acceptable nor nice, so unfortunately I cannot recommend these shoes.
