FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Gola Elan generally fits true to standard UK size 8, though individual foot shape may impact comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines will damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive in the sole.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
This specific variant is crafted from high-quality suede.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are heritage lifestyle trainers designed for casual use rather than performance athletic running.
How do I keep the blue color vibrant?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and use a suede-safe color reviving spray if the color begins to fade over time.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots on suede
Lightly brush the suede with a dry brush once the shoe is completely dry to restore the texture.
Shoelaces coming untied too easily
Ensure a tight double-knot is used, or consider replacing the laces with a slightly textured pair.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush to regularly remove dust after each wear to prevent deep embedding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Elan trainers last, follow these care steps:
- Initial Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before wearing them for the first time.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue color.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can warp the materials.
