FAQs
What material are the Veja V-90 Bastille trainers made from?
The upper is primarily made from crisp white leather, complemented by beige suede overlays. The sole is crafted from rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, these trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and are not intended for athletic performance or intense sports activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or professional cleaning is recommended. Avoid water unless using a specific suede cleaner.
Will the white leather get dirty easily?
White leather can show dirt and scuffs more readily than darker colors. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner is advised to keep them looking their best.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The Veja V-90 series offers various colorways. This specific guide focuses on the white/beige Bastille model, but other color options may be available in the V-90 range.
How long does it take for the leather to break in?
The break-in period varies by individual. It typically takes a few wears, sometimes up to a week of moderate use, for the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular cleaning, these trainers can last for several years of casual use. Lifespan depends on frequency of wear and the types of activities they are used for.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Suede material appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water on suede unless using a specific suede cleaner.
White leather shows scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, try a mild leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For more persistent marks, a leather shoe cream in a matching white shade might help cover them. Regular cleaning is key to maintaining the white finish.
Sole is losing grip
Ensure the gum sole is clean, as dirt can reduce traction. If the rubber has become worn down significantly, it may indicate the end of the shoe's useful life for optimal grip.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning Suede: Suede requires specialized care. Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and to restore the nap. For stains, consider a suede eraser or a professional cleaning service.
- Soles: The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
- Drying: If trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and suede to provide an extra layer of protection.
