FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather offers some protection against light rain, they are not waterproof and should be treated with a leather protector spray for best results.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, the Gola Equipe II typically follows standard UK sizing guidelines.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles can generally be removed if you prefer to use custom orthotic inserts.
How should I clean the white leather models?
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh household detergents that could bleach or damage the material.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The lace-to-toe design offers some flexibility, but the silhouette is generally standard. If you have very wide feet, you may want to try a half-size up.
What is the best way to store them?
Keep them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or warping.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine.
Creasing at the toe box
Use wooden shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape.
Squeaking sound while walking
Remove the insole and ensure there is no debris underneath; alternatively, sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Equipe II Trainers maintain their appearance, follow these steps. For setup, ensure you adjust the lace-to-toe construction for your specific foot width to lock in the heel. Regarding care, use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dust and a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth for spots. Avoid machine washing, as the leather can be damaged by prolonged water exposure. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
