Veja Women's

One of the things that you will notice when you get your first pair of Veja trainers is that the tongue is a little stiff. For this reason, many of the Veja shoes take some time to break in. However, they are uber worth softening up as they fast become your most comfy shoes.

It should only take a few wears to see the fabric start to become less and less hard. A quick tip that you should keep in mind is to always wear socks with these Veja leather trainers. Doing so will prevent chafing from the tongue and make you more comfortable.

If you’re looking for a pair of trainers that will last and last, you can’t go far wrong with a pair of Veja leather trainers. One of the highlights from the brand is the Veja Esplar trainers, which include beautifully shaped and smooth leather.

Think of these Veja ladies trainers as a long-term investment, not merely a piece of fashion clothing, because that’s what they are. Aside from being fashion-forward and effortlessly sophisticated, the trainers also have a sustainable undertone to them.

Before you slip on a brand new pair of Veja shoes, you should waterproof your shoes. Doing so will mean that they last longer than they usually would. If your trainers are a canvas pair, this involves brushing them with cold water and Marseille soap.

If you have leather shoes, you should use a damp cloth and a specific product spray or cream. You should also dry brush the leather inserts regularly. In both cases, it’s important to repeat the cleaning process on a regular basis.
