FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Rio Branco Alveomesh trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort for walking, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or athletic training due to their sole design.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
These trainers are designed for a standard fit. It is recommended to order your usual size. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up. Refer to the size guide for detailed measurements.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials, especially the Alveomesh and any leather components, can be damaged by the washing machine cycle. Always opt for spot cleaning or wiping with a damp cloth.
What does 'Alveomesh' mean?
Alveomesh is a technical fabric developed by Veja, made from recycled plastic bottles. It is known for its breathability, flexibility, and lightness.
How often should I clean my Veja trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or stains. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance and prolong their lifespan.
What is the origin of the rubber used in the sole?
The rubber used in the soles is sourced from sustainably managed rubber tree plantations in the Amazon rainforest.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The trainers provide a standard level of support suitable for everyday wear. For individuals requiring significant arch support, additional insoles might be considered.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or exploring the possibility of a different size if the fit is consistently uncomfortable.
Difficulty cleaning the Alveomesh material
Use a soft brush and a mild soap solution with a damp cloth. Gently scrub the affected area and wipe clean. Avoid machine washing.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the sound persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Discoloration on the rubber sole
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the sole. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
