Troubleshooting
Surface marks on suede inserts
Use a dry suede brush or a specialized eraser to gently lift stains from the nap of the suede.
Laces becoming loose during wear
Double-knot the organic cotton laces or ensure they are pulled evenly from the bottom eyelets to distribute tension.
Outer sole picking up debris
The Amazonian rubber sole has a textured grip; use a soft-bristled brush to clear small pebbles or mud from the tread patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Veja Rio Branco II trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. The organic cotton laces should be tightened to provide a snug fit across the midfoot. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft, damp cloth or a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the leather or damage the rubber adhesive. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent the suede from stiffening.
