FAQs
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, Veja recommends against machine washing to prevent damage to the suede and the structural integrity of the trainers.
What is the Nolyn material?
Nolyn is a re-engineered take on classic nylon, composed of 54% standard polyester and 46% recycled polyester to increase durability and sustainability.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The GT series features a low-profile, sleek fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them snug and might consider going up a half size.
Where is the rubber sourced from?
The rubber used in the outsoles is sourced directly from the Amazon rainforest through fair trade partnerships.
Are these trainers good for running?
While inspired by motorsports and performance design, these are lifestyle sneakers intended for casual walking and daily wear, not specialized running.
How should I maintain the suede texture?
Regular brushing with a soft-bristled brush will keep the suede fibers loose and prevent them from becoming matted or dusty.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush or an eraser designed for footwear to gently lift debris and restore the nap of the material.
Laces are fraying
Replace with standard organic cotton laces of the same length to maintain the original aesthetic.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoe to air dry naturally at room temperature. Once dry, brush the area gently to lift the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Veja GT trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Use a suede-safe protective spray before wearing them for the first time to repel dirt and light moisture.
- Cleaning: For the suede components, use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dust. Do not machine wash these trainers.
- Laces: The organic cotton laces can be removed and hand-washed in cool water with mild soap if they become discolored.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or the rubber from drying out over long periods.
- Fit: These trainers generally follow standard adult UK sizing; if you plan to wear thick socks, ensure you account for the snug fit of the low-profile design.
