FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Veja V-90 Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not built for athletic performance activities like running, which require specialized footwear.
How do I know which size to order?
It is recommended to consult the Veja sizing chart available on the product page or the brand's official website. Comparing your foot measurements to the chart can help ensure the best fit. Trying them on in person if possible is also advised.
What does 'organically treated leather' mean?
Organically treated leather refers to leather that has been tanned using methods that avoid harsh chemicals and prioritize environmental sustainability, often involving more natural processes.
How should I clean the grey accents on the trainers?
For grey accents, use a soft brush to remove surface dirt. If a deeper clean is needed, a slightly damp cloth or a mild leather cleaner suitable for the material can be used. Test any cleaning solution on a small, hidden area first.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, Veja V-90 Trainers should not be machine washed. The materials, particularly the leather and specific sole components, can be damaged by a washing machine. Hand cleaning with appropriate products is the recommended method.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made from a blend of Amazonian rubber (26%), mineral silica (22%), synthetic rubber (21%), and other materials (31%).
Are these trainers waterproof?
The organically treated leather offers some water resistance, but the trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in the shoes becoming wet.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears creased or scuffed.
Gently buff the affected area with a soft cloth. For deeper creases, a leather conditioner can help restore suppleness. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the soles are clean and free from excessive dirt or mud. The Amazonian rubber blend offers good grip, but debris can affect performance.
Discoloration on the leather.
Use a leather cleaner suitable for the specific type of leather. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Protect from prolonged direct sunlight which can cause fading.
Laces are worn or damaged.
Replace laces with standard shoelaces. Ensure the new laces are of a similar material and length for a proper fit.
