FAQs
What makes these trainers sustainable?
They are made using materials such as suede from responsibly managed farms, organic cotton for laces, Amazonian rubber from sustainable sources, and E.V.A. derived from sugar cane, alongside recycled components.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance. Their design is inspired by vintage sports shoes but optimized for comfort and style.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid using water excessively. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.
Will the water-repellent treatment last?
The initial PFC-free water-repellent treatment provides protection against light rain. For continued effectiveness, especially after cleaning or prolonged wear, reapplying a suitable waterproofing spray for suede is recommended.
What is the 'O.T.' leather mentioned in the description?
O.T. stands for Organic Traced leather, indicating that the leather used is sourced and processed following specific organic and traceable standards.
Where are these Veja trainers made?
These Veja trainers are made in Brazil.
Can I wash the entire shoe?
It is not recommended to wash the entire shoe, especially due to the suede material. Spot cleaning and brushing are the preferred methods for maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The natural materials will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Water spots on suede after rain
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Reapply water-repellent treatment if needed.
Laces are dirty
Remove the organic cotton laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Air dry completely before re-lacing.
