FAQs

What makes the 'ChromeFree' leather sustainable?

ChromeFree leather is tanned without the use of chromium, a chemical commonly used in leather tanning that can be harmful to the environment and human health. This process reduces water pollution and the risk of allergic reactions.

How is the rubber for the sole sourced?

The rubber for the sole is wild rubber harvested directly from the Amazonian forest. This method supports local rubber tappers, helps preserve the forest ecosystem by providing economic value to standing trees, and uses a renewable resource.

Can these trainers be worn in the rain?

While the shoes are durable, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect the leather and suede. It is recommended to treat them with a suitable waterproofing spray and avoid walking in very wet conditions.

What is the fit like?

The VEJA Campo trainers typically have a standard fit. The lace-up design allows for adjustability. It's recommended to consult Veja's sizing guide for the most accurate fit.

How do I clean the different materials on the trainers?

Leather parts can be wiped with a damp cloth. Suede should be brushed with a suede brush. The lining can be spot-cleaned. Always refer to the 'Care' section for detailed instructions.

Are these trainers suitable for vegans?

No, these trainers are made with leather and suede, which are animal products. Veja does offer vegan models made from alternative materials.

What is the expected lifespan of the VEJA Campo trainers?

With proper care and maintenance, these trainers are designed for longevity. The use of high-quality, sustainable materials contributes to their durability.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. Store shoes upright and use shoe trees to help maintain shape. Avoid excessive bending.

Suede 'V' logo looks dull

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore its texture. For deeper cleaning, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for this material.

Sole becoming slippery

Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For natural rubber soles, a slight sheen can be restored by wiping with a damp cloth.

Discoloration from water exposure

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Treat any stained areas with appropriate leather or suede cleaners once dry.
