FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

No, the Veja Esplar trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for running or athletic performance.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush. Allow to air dry naturally.

What does 'vegetable tanning' mean for the leather?

Vegetable tanning is a process that uses natural tannins derived from plants, avoiding the use of toxic chemicals like chrome. This is better for the environment and the people involved in the tanning process.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the rubber sole offers some traction, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the leather.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The trainers fit true to size. It is recommended to try them on and adjust the laces for a snug but comfortable fit. They may require a short break-in period.

What is the origin of the wild rubber sole?

The wild rubber used in the sole is sourced from the Amazon region in Brazil, supporting sustainable harvesting practices and local communities.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty policy for details on coverage and duration, as warranty terms can vary.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with new ones of similar material and length. Consider waxed cotton laces for added durability.

Leather appears dry or cracked

Apply a quality leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat or dryness.

Soles are losing grip

Clean the rubber sole thoroughly. If wear is significant, professional resoling may be an option, though typically not cost-effective for this type of shoe.

Discoloration from scuffs

Use a leather eraser or a specialized leather cleaner for minor scuffs. For deeper marks, colored shoe cream matching the leather shade can be applied.
