FAQs

Are Veja V-12 trainers true to size?

Yes, most users find the V-12 fits true to standard adult sizing. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to choose the larger size.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the leather, suede components, and the glue holding the soles together. Always clean by hand.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is a sustainable blend comprising 31% Amazonian rubber, 22% rice waste, and 12% recycled rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The V-12 is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer. While durable, they are not intended for high-performance athletic running.

How do I care for the suede parts?

Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt or surface dust. Keep them away from water as it can cause staining or texture changes.

Where are Veja shoes manufactured?

Veja produces their footwear in Brazil, focusing on sustainable labor practices and local sourcing.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels too stiff when new

Wear the trainers with thicker socks for the first few outings and gently flex the toe box by hand to encourage material softening.

Scuffs appearing on the white leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle eraser for minor marks; avoid harsh chemical solvents.

Laces coming undone

Ensure a double knot is used during the first few weeks while the organic cotton fibers of the laces are still gaining flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Veja V-12s stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in: Wear them indoors for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften to your natural stride.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for the leather parts. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  3. Protection: Apply a leather-safe waterproof spray to protect against light rain and potential scuffs.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
  5. Lacing: Ensure organic cotton laces are threaded evenly to maintain proper pressure distribution across the bridge of the foot.
