FAQs

Are Veja V-12 trainers true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though the structured leather may feel snug initially.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the recycled materials. Always clean by hand.

What is the primary material in the sole?

The sole is a composite of 31% Amazonian rubber, 22% rice waste, and 12% recycled rubber.

Are these suitable for intense athletic sports?

These are designed as casual fashion trainers and are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like running or court sports.

How do I maintain the white leather?

Wipe regularly with a clean, damp cloth and use leather-specific cleaning products to maintain the brightness of the white finish.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels too stiff upon first wear

This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them with thicker socks for short periods at home to gently break them in.

Scuffs appearing on the leather surface

Use a specialized leather cleaning foam or a gentle leather conditioner applied with a soft microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Veja V-12 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to soften the leather.
  2. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial chemicals.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to fade or crack.
  4. Weather: While the rubber sole is robust, the leather upper is not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep mud.
