Full details
These Veja Wata II Low Canvas shoes in white are designed for adult women seeking stylish and sustainable footwear. The key benefit is their eco-conscious construction from organic cotton and recycled materials, offering comfort and a reduced environmental footprint. A potential consideration is that canvas shoes may require more frequent cleaning than leather alternatives.

Made in Brazil, they represent a commitment to fair trade and responsible production.

FAQs
What are the Veja Wata II shoes made of?
The Veja Wata II Low Canvas shoes are primarily made from 100% organic cotton for the lining, laces, and heel tab. The insole combines Amazon rubber, recycled E.V.A., and organic cotton, while the outsole uses Amazon rubber and rice husks.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Wata II model generally has a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it might be beneficial to try them on if possible or consider sizing up slightly, though this may affect overall fit.
How do I clean the white canvas material?
Clean the canvas gently with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean and air dry. Avoid machine washing.
What does 'Made in Brazil' signify for these shoes?
It signifies that the shoes are manufactured in Brazil, reflecting Veja's commitment to fair trade practices, ethical labor conditions, and responsible sourcing within that region.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the shoes are durable, canvas is not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Wearing them in heavy rain may lead to water absorption and potential staining.
What is the environmental impact of these shoes?
These shoes have a reduced environmental impact due to the use of organic cotton, recycled E.V.A., Amazon rubber (a renewable resource), and rice husks. Veja prioritizes sustainable materials and ethical production processes.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct UK size?
Refer to sizing charts provided by Veja or the retailer. As these are women's shoes, the UK sizing corresponds to standard adult female foot measurements. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snug or looser fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. You can also try wearing thicker socks around the house to gently stretch the canvas.
Canvas appears dirty or stained
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of mild soap with water to a cloth and gently rub the affected area. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry.
Laces are fraying or worn
Replace the laces with new ones. Ensure the new laces are of a similar material and length for optimal fit and appearance.
Outsole shows signs of wear
Minor wear can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For significant wear, consider consulting a cobbler for potential repair options, although replacement is typically recommended for extensive damage.
