Frequently asked questions
The V-10 is the hallmark of Veja's craftsmanship: a minimalist and timeless silhouette that combines natural leather and ethical construction. Its refined design makes it hyper-versatile, capable of adapting to streetwear looks as well as more casual outfits. It's a signature shoe that transcends trends without ever looking dated.
The natural white leather on the V-10 develops a beautiful patina over time, which is what makes it so rich. Small marks and color variations are normal and part of the charm of authentic material. To preserve this aspect, regular maintenance with a product suited to white leather extends the life of your pair and enhances its elegance.
The Veja V-10 generally fits true to size. We recommend consulting our detailed size guide to confirm your usual size. If you have any doubts, our team at Uptown Store in Saint-Étienne is at your disposal to advise you before purchase.
Yes, Veja was born from a deliberate commitment: complete production traceability, raw materials sourced directly from fair-trade producers, and total transparency on manufacturing conditions. The brand never uses traditional advertising to avoid overproduction. Choosing a V-10 means supporting a different vision of luxury and consumption.
Clean regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove dust. For stains, use a gentle cleanser specifically designed for white leather. Avoid bleach or harsh products. Let it dry naturally away from direct sunlight. A quality leather waterproofing treatment will protect your pair from stains and moisture without altering the natural white.
It depends on your local climate. The leather V-10 can withstand occasional showers thanks to its robust construction, but it's not waterproof by nature. For winter or very humid conditions, we suggest applying a protective treatment. Otherwise, save it for drier periods when it will really shine.
