Veja Campo

Veja Campo. Now manufactured with chrome-free leather, these are a staple in every wardbrobe.

Veja V-10
Designed to celebrate the French label's tenth anniversary, the Veja V10 trainers are a stunning option for any sports lover. The shoes are a combination of responsibly sourced leather and organic cotton. When it comes to the fit, some people may find that the
Veja V10 trainers are a little on the heavy and wide side. If you are between two different sizes, it’s smart to choose the size down.
Veja Recife
Named after the 'Venice of Brazil', it doesnt get more rest day than the
Veja Recife Leather trainer. These chic pairs offer the same sustainable leather features we know and love from Veja, with three velcro straps for a modern twist. Simply slip on and strap, no need for laces. We recommend choosing your usual size on these beautys.
Veja Esplar
The
Veja Esplar trainers offer a classic low-top design. These shoes have become popular thanks to their soft leather upper, breathable organic cotton lining and simple V-stitch design. The trainers have both a paired-back, minimalistic look.
The Esplar trainers tend to run true to size. However, if you are between sizes, Veja women recommends you should opt for the size down.
Veja SDU
With a B-mesh upper, which is made from recycled bottles, and vegan suede panels, it’s hard not to fall in love with the
Veja SDU trainers. These Veja ladies trainers feature a wild Amazonian rubber sole, jersey lining and a rubber logo V on the side. The SDU models tend to be true to size. With that in mind, you should choose the same size that usually fits you.
Veja Rio Branco
Sporting the super soft and resilient Hexamesh fabric, the ‘retro running’
Rio Branco trainers offer an at once cool and dynamic design. The Hexamesh is composed of 70% organic cotton and 30% recycled plastic bottles. The lining features 33% organic cotton and 67% recycled polyester while there’s the classic logo V on the side of the shoes.
When it comes to the fit, the brand recommends going one size up if you’re in between sizes.

How To Break In Veja?
You may be wondering, are Veja shoes comfortable? Well, 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.
How To Clean Your Veja trainers?
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 Veja trainers womens pair 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.
Why We Love Veja
Not only do Veja women's shoes have style, whether you're dressing up or going for laid-back Veja black trainers, but they’ve also got eco credentials too. Champions of fair trade manufacturing, the brand’s do-good attitude ensures all its materials are consciously sourced, shipped and manufactured.
The Veja trainers womens range showcases a new way of thinking that has led to innovations in design and materials. They developed B-Mesh, a light, breathable trainer upper made from polyester and recycled plastic bottles. Then there’s Veja’s tilapia leather – a strong tropical fish skin used instead of traditional leathers.
But perhaps one of the most noteworthy innovations yet is the brand’s LRT (Liquid Rubber Technology); a technological and social innovation that generates more income for native rubber producers and greater elasticity for your under soles. The perfect feel-good, look-good trainer combination (and they got
vegan options too).
