FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Rio Branco Alveomesh trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How should I clean the Alveomesh material?
Gently wipe the Alveomesh upper with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes or using abrasive cleaning agents.
What makes the insole sustainable?
The insole is made from a mix of sustainable materials including sugar cane, Amazon rubber, organic cotton, and recycled EVA, reducing reliance on virgin plastics.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash Veja trainers, as this can damage the materials, especially the suede and adhesives.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Veja trainers generally fit true to size. Refer to Veja's sizing chart and ensure there is a little room at the toe and comfortable width for your foot.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Veja typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Veja website or your point of purchase for specific warranty details and duration.
How do I care for the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser or cleaner for tougher marks. Protect suede with a suitable waterproofing spray if desired.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort during initial wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly.
Suede appearance looks dull or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Alveomesh upper feels tight
Loosen the laces and try them on again. The Alveomesh is designed to be breathable and may feel snug initially; it should stretch slightly with wear.
Odors developing
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure feet are dry when wearing.
