Size Guide
Size Guide
Our newest production round of VAER sneakers fit true to size, which makes the whole process relatively simple. They are also a bit wider than our previous production rounds, therefore we recommend you to choose your normal size or go a size down if you are in between sizes.
From our customers (and our own experience) the shoes will form around your feet after a couple of times wearing them!
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Coating or waterproofing should always be done before using your pair of VAER for the first time.
You can either do this with a normal coating spray or with beeswax.
How to:
Coat the beeswax onto the
shoes (do not forget the seams) and work the wax into the shoes by a dryer in the end. The product increases the water's resistance, revives colors, and prevents rapid soiling.

Our impact
Because we upcycle and give textile waste a new life, we use less ressources compared to a normal sneaker.
We have produced 762 VAER x STARK sneakers in total. By using discarded STARK uniforms instead of new textiles, we have saved around 1954 kg. of CO2 eqv. (see calculations here under the FAQ "how many resources have this collaboration saved")
Some of the leftovers were used for the Re:wair upcycling challenge, where sewing enthusiasts got to redesign the leftovers from the STARK workwear. We had over 40 people sending in designs, and we had participants with all sorts of skill levels and ages (the youngest was 11 years old and the oldest was 57) 🌟
