FAQs

What is Alveomesh?

Alveomesh is a technical fabric made from 100% recycled polyester, designed to be lightweight and breathable, offering comfort and durability.

Do these sneakers run true to size?

Veja recommends choosing a size up from your usual shoe size for the Rio Branco Alveomesh model to ensure a comfortable fit.

How should I clean the suede and leather parts?

For suede, use a suede brush to clean. For leather and suede, spot clean with a damp cloth and consider a suede protector spray. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can I wear these for running or sports?

These sneakers are designed for everyday wear, urban walking, and leisure. They may not provide the specific support or cushioning required for intense athletic activities.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Veja Rio Branco Alveomesh sneakers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. Exposure to heavy rain may affect the materials.

What materials are the Veja Rio Branco Alveomesh made from?

The upper is primarily Alveomesh (recycled polyester), with panels made of leather and suede. The lining is jersey (cotton, polyester), the insole is made of rubber, EVA, and cotton, and the outsole is rubber.

How do I break in new Veja sneakers?

Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure you have the correct size, as Veja recommends sizing up, which can help minimize break-in time.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit

As Veja recommends sizing up, if the shoes feel snug, consider trying the next size up. You can also wear them with thinner socks initially or gently stretch them with thicker socks over time.

Suede becoming dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift and restore the nap of the suede. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Rubber sole losing grip

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from mud or debris. A damp cloth can help remove surface grime. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive oil or grease.

Discoloration from water

Avoid wearing in heavy rain. If they get wet, dry them naturally away from heat sources and treat suede components with appropriate protectant.
