FAQs
Are Gola Harrier trainers waterproof?
No, they are made from suede, which is porous. It is recommended to use a suede-specific water repellent spray before initial wear.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use only hand-cleaning methods.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Harrier is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for athletic running or high-intensity sports.
How do I maintain the grey colour?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading, and use a color-restoring spray designed specifically for grey suede if needed.
What does the 'wingflash' refer to?
The wingflash is the iconic contrast strip located on the side of the trainer, which serves as a signature Gola branding element.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or mud on suede
Allow the dirt to dry completely before gently brushing it off with a soft suede brush.
Laces feel loose throughout the day
Replace standard laces with high-friction cotton laces or use a double knot to ensure a secure fit.
Insole feels less supportive over time
Replace the removable insole with a third-party orthotic insert if you require additional arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers fit true to size for most adults. Since this specific variant is a UK 12, ensure you verify your size conversion if purchasing from outside the UK. To care for your Gola Harriers, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the suede surface after every few wears. If water gets on the suede, let it air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to harden or crack. For stubborn marks, consider a dedicated suede eraser or professional suede cleaning kit. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and color fading.
