FAQs
What makes the Veja Volley Suede Trainers sustainable?
They are made with suede from farms in Rio Grande do Sul tanned responsibly, organic traced leather panels, an insole using Amazonian rubber and sugar cane, recycled E.V.A., and organic cotton laces. The tanning process also prioritizes responsible water use.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, applied sparingly and tested first. Avoid excessive water.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
No, these trainers are designed for casual and lifestyle wear. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I maintain the water-repellent feature?
The initial treatment protects against light rain. For continued protection, consider reapplying a PFC-free water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede periodically.
What is 'Organic Traced leather (O.T.)'?
This refers to leather that is tanned in Brazil, adheres to regulations, and has a responsible water usage policy during tanning. It is traced back to the farm where it originated.
What is the insole made of?
The insole is a composite material including Amazonian rubber (11%), E.V.A. bio-sourced (45%, with 36% from sugar cane), recycled E.V.A. (13%), organic cotton (5%), and other components (26%).
Where are these trainers manufactured?
These trainers are made in Brazil.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Water-repellent finish seems less effective.
The water-repellent treatment may naturally diminish over time. Consider reapplying a PFC-free water-repellent spray suitable for suede to restore protection.
Slight stiffness on first wear.
This is normal for new suede shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet for increased comfort.
Discoloration of suede.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. If discoloration occurs, a suede cleaner might help, but it's best to prevent it through proper storage and care.
