The sneaker Meghan Markle and everyone we know got an even more intense eco-friendly makeover.

We tested one of the styles.

Wevespotted her in many of our favorites, including French footwear brand Veja.

Veja is beloved for its sleek and simple design, as well as its comfort.

Plus, their Engineered-Mesh alternates big and small stitches for breathability ideal for summertime heat.

They weigh less than the average sneaker, but still feel sturdy both immediately and over time.

The midsole is made of 60 percent sugar cane.

61 percent bio-based, made from Amazonian rubber and 31 percent rice waste.

Youd never know it, though, as these sneaks are supremely durable.

For white sneakers, thats a bummer.

Worth noting, but easily fixable.

Aside from that, I had no blisters and no complaints.

I wondered if Id ever be able to go back to a heavier shoe.

The texture, while comfortable, reminds me of the sneakers ethos with every step.
