FAQs
What materials are the VEJA Esplar trainers made from?
The VEJA Esplar trainers are made from a leather upper, organic cotton lining, and a sole crafted from 19% wild rubber sourced from the Amazonian forest.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and urban use. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact sports or running.
How do I clean the rubber 'V' logo?
The rubber 'V' logo can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber or surrounding leather.
What does the name 'Esplar' refer to?
The Esplar trainers are named after the Brazilian NGO that provides technical support to the organic cotton farming families VEJA collaborates with in North Brazil.
How should I store my VEJA Esplar trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. It's recommended to keep them in their original box or a dust bag.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather has some natural water resistance, it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, it's advisable to use a leather waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What is the sole height of these trainers?
The sole height of the VEJA Esplar trainers is approximately 2 CM.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a specialized eraser. For deeper scuffs, professional leather repair might be needed.
Discoloration of the white leather
Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid exposing the shoes to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight.
Squeaking sound from the sole
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try sprinkling talcum powder under the insole or checking if any part of the sole is loose. If persistent, consult a cobbler.
Laces become dirty
Remove laces and wash them by hand with mild detergent and water, or place them in a mesh bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle. Air dry.
