WVSport Recycled Freedom Trainers
WVSport Recycled Freedom Trainers
Our notes
WVSport Freedom Trainers are ergonomically designed for the free movement of your feet.
Freedom Trainers are your super comfy partner for cross-training, workout classes, road running and daily life.
Your feet are free to move, nothing restricts them.
The uppers are cut from a single piece of recycled (100% recycled polyester) mesh knit. Your feet don’t rub on anything, nothing holds them back.
Air freely moves around through the mesh, your feet stay cool almost like you were barefoot.
ERGO-flex™ outsoles help your feet move naturally. An ergonomically positioned flexpoint moves with the ball of your foot, flowing with its movement. The high traction tread provides grip and the patented Support System provides cushioning and support.
For extra cushioning and support, your feet rest on deep squishy recycled insoles (100% recycled polyurethane)
Like all WVSport models they are made with ballistic welded construction which means the uppers stay attached to the outsoles, even with regular heavy use.
WVSport models are designed and produced in the foothills of the Dolomite Hills, Italy. Each model is created using CAD design technology that simulates the different phases of the walking experience. Advanced components and construction methods are used to create the models like a patented Support System which means the fit is always comfortable and secure.
Development samples are lab tested for days for their abrasion resistance, durability and water resistance. New models can take months sometimes years to develop.
The factory features one of the largest photovoltaic plants in Italy which means that 70% of the power used to produce WVSport footwear is from solar.
As well as working under EU employment, discrimination and health & safety law the factory has their own Charter of Human Responsibilities (or Code of Ethics) which helps ensure the company is committed to respecting the rights, work and dignity of its employees.
For sourcing the materials to create each model we work with the factory using a traceability system that enables us to trace back every step in the production process so we always know what has been used and where it has come from.

I wear a US size 7-8 depending on the shoe and the size 38 fits perfectly. I agree with other reviews that the back does rub but thanks to these reviews, I know to wear some type of bandaid until they break in. They are otherwise super comfy and very cute. I like that they provide some support, not too roomy like many sneakers these days.
I love the shoes! I like the way they fit my feet and quality! I also really love how they don’t have logos/designs on the side and are all black. It makes it discrete which I’m a fan of. I do think they have enough cushion for me. The only minor downside is that the right shoe on the back does ride up on my Achilles heel and caused rubbing and bled but I was expecting that due to breaking in new shoes and how tall they were in the back. I just wore a bandaid to help ease that. Other than that, the shoes are great and I already have recommended them to people. (:
I had purchased these trainers a few years ago and love them. They are comfortable, breathable, and are all black so I can wear them with so many thing day to day. They also don’t look like “typical” sneakers so I can wear them to work. Since they were a few years old I felt I needed a new pair. I got a replacement pair and they are not the same shoe. They are a different fabric, they are stiffer, and the back of the shoe rides high and after walking in them for ten minutes they started to rub the back of ankle raw. I am very disappointed and maybe one day Will’s will bring back the old design. I am sure for others these will be fine, but I can’t wear them and am sad I will no longer have these trainers for my every day use.
Hi Michelle,
I am really sorry your trainers are not right for you. We did make a few updates to these including a thicker insole and an updated upper made from 100% recycled PU.
For your peace of mind, we will always replace, refund or try to repair your purchases at any point if you are not happy - just let us know and we will take care of everything.
For example if these are not right for you, we can replace them with another style if you like.
To save on waste and co2 you are welcome to keep the pair you have for seconds, a friend or charity shop.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Speak soon

I had a similar issue that others reported, where the shoe rubbed against my ankle, causing a blister (but only on the left foot...guess I'm lopsided). I ended up wearing a bandaid on the trouble spot until I finally broke the shoe in. They look great and are comfortable, but I'm not sure they're a good fit for a running shoe, as I can feel my foot slide around a tiny bit in the shoes sometimes when my footfall lands. Since I'm usually just walking or cycling at best, it's not a huge issue for me. Aesthetically great, but I probably will try another shoe when these wear out.
Love Will's Vegan but hate these shoes. They are terribly uncomfortable. Super impressed by the return policy though. Totally makes up for the terrible shoe.
