FAQs

Do these trainers run true to size?

Veja recommends choosing one size larger than your usual shoe size for the Rio Branco Alveomesh models. It's advised to try them on with your typical socks to ensure a comfortable fit.

How should I clean the suede and leather panels?

For suede, use a suede brush to remove dirt and a specialized cleaner for stains. For leather, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Always avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. The materials, especially suede and leather, can be damaged. Hand wash cold is the advised method for the upper, and lay flat to dry.

Are these suitable for running or sports?

The Rio Branco Alveomesh trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and comfort. They are not specialized for high-impact sports or running.

What is Alveomesh?

Alveomesh is a technical material made from recycled polyester developed by Veja, known for its breathability and lightness, making it ideal for athletic footwear.

What are the sole and insole made of?

The insole is a combination of rubber, EVA, and cotton. The outsole is made of durable rubber.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the suede and mesh upper are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Avoid heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight upon arrival

Veja recommends ordering one size larger than your usual shoe size. If they are still tight after trying them on with appropriate socks, consider exchanging for a larger size or using them for short periods to allow for natural stretching.

Suede material looks dull or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For more stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner according to product instructions and allow to air dry completely.

Mesh upper is dirty

Gently spot clean the Alveomesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the entire shoe. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat.

Laces are worn or dirty

Laces can be removed and hand washed separately with mild detergent. They can also be replaced if they become excessively worn or damaged.
