FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Esplar model generally offers a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on in person or check customer reviews for fit feedback regarding width.
How do I clean the black leather?
Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a product specifically designed for black leather shoes, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a leather waterproofing spray can enhance resistance.
What is the difference between the Esplar and other Veja models?
The Esplar series is known for its classic, minimalist low-top design. Other Veja models, like the V-10 or Campo, may feature different silhouettes, materials, or design elements.
How long does the leather typically last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, the leather upper is designed to be durable and can last for several years of regular wear.
Are these suitable for men or women?
This specific model is often categorized for women, but Veja's sizing is generally unisex. The design is minimalist and can be worn by anyone. Always check the size chart for UK sizing.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. Ensure consistent conditioning every few months.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try a leather eraser or a specialized leather cleaning product. For deeper marks, professional leather repair might be needed.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. For persistent slipperiness, consider adding grip enhancers or consulting a cobbler.
Shoes do not fit comfortably after initial wear
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly.
