FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain or puddles.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing will ruin the suede material. Spot cleaning is the only recommended method.
Do I need to tie the laces?
No, these trainers use elastic laces intended for a slip-on fit.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The soft suede material offers some flexibility, but the design is standard fit.
What is the inspiration behind this shoe?
The Gola Elan series is inspired by the brand's original trainer designs from 1971.
How do I maintain the color vibrancy?
Keep the shoes out of direct, intense sunlight when not in use to prevent the orange and green panels from fading.
Troubleshooting
Elastic laces feel too loose or too tight
The laces are designed for convenience; if they stretch over time, a cobbler may be able to replace them with standard laces if preferred.
Suede looks worn or flattened
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap of the material and restore its original texture.
Scuff marks on the rubber sole
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to wipe the rubber edges, avoiding the suede areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear straight out of the box with pre-attached elastic laces. To ensure the longevity of the suede upper, it is highly recommended to treat the shoes with a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first use. If the trainers get dirty, allow mud to dry completely and gently remove it with a suede brush. Avoid machine washing, as the water and detergent can damage the suede texture and color. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the orange contrast panels.
