FAQs
What makes these trainers sustainable?
The trainers are made using chrome-free leather, organic cotton laces, a sole from Amazonian rubber, rice waste, and recycled rubber, and a lining of recycled polyester, reflecting Veja's commitment to eco-friendly practices.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid soaking the leather in water.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

What is the fit like for the Esplar trainers?

Yes, Veja prioritizes ethical sourcing. The Amazonian rubber for the soles is collected by rubber tappers, supporting local communities and preventing deforestation.
How do I care for the suede details?
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean suede areas and maintain their texture. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Protect suede from moisture.
What is the sole made of?

Troubleshooting

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream with a soft cloth to moisturize the leather. Gently buff to restore shine. Avoid over-conditioning.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.
Soles are dirty
