FAQs
What are the main materials used in the VEJA Volley Sneaker?
The main materials include suede and organically treated leather for the uppers, Amazonian rubber and bio-based EVA for the insole, and recycled polyester for the lining and laces.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The VEJA Volley Sneaker is designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities or running.
How should I clean the green suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water and harsh chemicals. Consider a suede protector spray.
What does 'Organically Treated Leather' mean?
It refers to leather that has undergone a tanning process using fewer chemicals, aiming for a more environmentally friendly approach compared to conventional leather tanning.
What is the origin of the rubber used in the sole?
The rubber used in the sole is sourced from Amazonian rubber trees, reflecting VEJA's commitment to using natural and sustainably harvested materials.
Do these trainers come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, VEJA offers the Volley model in various colors and sizes. This guide specifically covers the Green Suede UK 9 variant.
How is the insole constructed?
The insole is made from a combination of Amazonian rubber, bio-based EVA (derived partly from sugarcane), recycled EVA, and organic cotton, aiming for comfort and sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or stained
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For liquid stains, allow to dry naturally and then use a suede brush. For persistent stains, consult a professional cleaner specializing in footwear.
Laces feel rough or wear unevenly
Recycled polyester laces may have a different texture. If they fray, consider replacing them with new laces of similar material or a compatible alternative.
General discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. The insole is designed to mold to the foot over time.
Water damage to suede
If the suede gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Apply a suede protector spray to help prevent future water damage.

Care Instructions:
- Suede Care: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on the suede as it can alter its texture and color. Consider applying a suede protector spray for added defense against stains and moisture, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

- Lining and Insole: The lining is made of recycled polyester. The insole can be aired out to refresh. For deep cleaning, remove the insole if possible and clean separately with a damp cloth.
