FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
The Veja V-10 trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for strenuous athletic performance. They offer good support for walking but lack the specialized features of running or training shoes.
How do I determine the correct size?
Veja generally recommends choosing your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for a bit more room, especially if you prefer wearing thicker socks.
What makes Veja's materials sustainable?
Veja uses materials like organic cotton, recycled polyester, wild rubber from the Amazonian forest, and chrome-free leather, focusing on reducing environmental impact and supporting fair trade practices.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials.
How often should I clean my V-10s?
Clean your V-10s as needed, depending on wear and exposure to dirt. Regular spot cleaning and periodic deeper cleaning as per the care instructions will help maintain their appearance.
What is the warranty on Veja V-10 trainers?
Information regarding specific warranty periods can vary by retailer. It is recommended to check the warranty details provided by the point of purchase.
Are these trainers true to size?
Most users find Veja V-10 trainers to be true to size. However, individual fit can vary. If unsure, referring to sizing charts and customer reviews can be helpful.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs or marks appear.
Use a leather-specific cleaner or cream to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces.
The wild rubber soles provide good grip, but like all footwear, caution is advised on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure soles are clean of debris.
Lining feels rough or causes irritation.
Ensure socks are worn. If irritation persists, the lining may need time to break in, or consider trying a different sock material.
Discoloration on white leather.
Clean promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent stains, use a specialized leather cleaner for white leather.
