Veja Wata II Low Shoes - White - UK 7

No, the Veja Wata II Low Canvas sneakers are made from organic cotton and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions.

Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.

The Wata II model specifically highlights the use of canvas and features a distinctive screen-printed V-logo, alongside a sole incorporating rice waste, differentiating it from other Veja lines that might use leather or different sole compositions.

It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.

For Veja, 'Made in Brazil' signifies a commitment to ethical manufacturing, fair wages, and responsible sourcing of materials, often working with smaller workshops and cooperatives.

Veja sneakers often fit true to size, but can feel snug initially. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with Veja's official sizing chart. Wearing them around the house for a short period can help determine comfort.

For comfort and breathability, consider wearing socks made from natural materials like cotton or bamboo. Ankle socks or no-show socks are common choices for low-top sneakers.

Spot clean using a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, use a soft brush with a mild detergent solution and rinse with a damp cloth. Always air dry.

Replace laces with new 100% organic cotton laces. Ensure they are the appropriate length for low-top sneakers.

Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris. For persistent slipperiness, check for significant wear on the tread pattern. These shoes are intended for casual use, not slippery conditions.

Veja sneakers often have a snug fit initially. If the shoe is genuinely too small or too large, consider exchanging for a different size. Consult the Veja sizing guide for accurate measurements.
