Crafted from ChromeFree leather, VEJA shoes exude elegance and comfort. Sourced from carefully selected farms in the scenic landscapes of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, this bovine leather undergoes an innovative tanning process that eliminates the use of chrome, heavy metals, and harmful acids. This unique approach not only ensures a smooth and lightweight texture but also significantly reduces chemical usage and energy consumption. By choosing VEJA ChromeFree leather shoes, you contribute to conserving resources, with a 40% reduction in water usage and an impressive 80% decrease in salt consumption. The water used during the tanning process is recyclable, further minimizing environmental impact. The outsole is a testament to VEJA’s sustainable ethos. Made from a blend of Amazonian rubber (40%) and recycled rubber (10%), it provides excellent traction and stability while reducing waste.
