VEJA's organic cotton is cultivated in Brazil and Peru by associations that respect people and the environment, according to Fair Trade principles. In Brazil, cotton is organic and agroecological. This agriculture enriches the land after being cultivated by improving the diversity of species cultivated and water retention in the soil. In Peru, farmers grow certified organic and regenerative cotton. They receive support in their certification process and receive technical and financial assistance to improve their production.
CARE
The use of a washing machine is not recommended. Before wearing for the firs ttime, waterproof shoes with a spray adapted to the material and repeat this periodically. The canvas can be brushed with cold water and Marseille soap. Maintain the smooth leather of your shoes with a wet cloth and periodically with a specific product in spray or cream. Suede inserts can be maintained by dry brushing.
FIT
Generally, VEJA sneakers are true to size, so we would recommend going for your typical size. Alyssa wears a US 8.5 and wears the size EU 38.
