FAQs
How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. For more stubborn marks, consider a specialized suede cleaning solution, always testing on a small, hidden area first.
Are these trainers suitable for heavy rain?
The trainers have a PFC-free water-repellent treatment for light rain protection. They are not designed for heavy or prolonged exposure to wet conditions and may not keep your feet entirely dry.
What does 'Organic Traced leather (O.T.)' mean?
It refers to leather sourced from farms in the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil that follows traceable and more responsible farming practices. It is tanned in Brazil without harmful or prohibited chemicals.
How should I store my Veja Volley trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to store them in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and potential damage.
What is the primary benefit of the materials used in the insole?
The insole combines Amazonian rubber, bio-sourced E.V.A. from sugar cane, and recycled E.V.A. This mix aims to provide cushioning and comfort while utilizing more sustainable and renewable resources.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, adhesives, and structural integrity of the trainers.
How durable is the suede used in these shoes?
The suede is made from the underside of leather and is sanded for a soft feel. While generally durable for casual wear, suede requires proper care to maintain its appearance and prevent premature wear, especially in high-friction areas.
Troubleshooting
Suede color appears faded or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Shoes feel stiff after getting wet
Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Reapply water-repellent treatment if needed.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean from debris. The Amazonian rubber and recycled components offer good grip, but performance can be affected by mud or oil. For significantly worn soles, consider professional sole replacement if available.
Laces are dirty
Remove the organic cotton laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
