FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
No, the Veja Volley Leather Trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and not for strenuous athletic performance. Their construction and materials are optimized for style and comfort in non-sporting contexts.
How often should I waterproof my trainers?
It is recommended to waterproof your trainers every 3 to 6 months, depending on wear frequency and environmental exposure, to maintain their protection against water and stains.
Can I use regular shoe polish on these trainers?
It is best to use products specifically designed for leather and suede. Regular shoe polish may not be suitable for the organically traced leather and suede materials used by Veja and could potentially damage them.
What does 'organically traced leather' mean?
Organically traced leather signifies that the leather is sourced from farms that practice organic agriculture, meaning the cattle are raised without hormones or antibiotics, and the tanning process adheres to strict environmental standards.
How do I clean the V logo?
The V logo is typically made of suede. Clean it gently with a suede brush or eraser. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals directly on the suede.
What is the difference between O.t. leather and regular leather?
O.t. (Organically Traced) leather is sourced from farms practicing organic agriculture and is tanned using processes that minimize environmental impact, avoiding harmful chemicals.
What is the origin of the Amazonian rubber used in the sole?
The Amazonian rubber is sourced from the wild rubber tree in Brazil, supporting local communities and promoting sustainable forest management practices.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs or marks appear
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a specific leather cleaner. For persistent marks, use a specialized leather cream or balm. For suede areas, use a suede eraser.
Suede panels look dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water on suede.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-inserting.
Water spots on leather or suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, treat the affected area with a specific leather or suede care product and re-waterproof if necessary.
