The Gola Equipe II trainers are designed for men seeking a blend of 1970s heritage aesthetics and modern everyday comfort. These leather trainers are ideal for casual styling, pairing seamlessly with jeans or chinos for a refined, vintage look; however, users should note that as a lifestyle trainer, they are optimized for urban walking rather than high-impact athletic performance.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for men's footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the leather material. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
How do I protect the white leather from stains?
We recommend using a sneaker-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear.
Is the insole removable?
The comfort cushioned insole is designed for optimal performance within this model; it is not intended to be removed for orthopedic inserts unless specifically required.
Does the green wingflash trim fade?
With standard care and by avoiding harsh chemicals, the color should remain vibrant for the life of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after use
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and maintain the white finish.
Laces constantly untie
Double-knot the laces or swap for wax-coated laces to improve knot retention.
Creasing at the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the leather retain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Equipe II trainers stay in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Leather uppers may feel stiff during the first few wears. Limit initial outings to 2-3 hours to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather upper. For tougher scuffs, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for white footwear.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking and fading of the green wingflash trim.
- Lacing: The lace-to-toe construction allows for a custom fit. Tighten from the bottom up to ensure the ankle collar provides the necessary stability.
- Compatibility: These trainers are best paired with slim-fit jeans, chinos, or relaxed summer trousers for the intended vintage-terrace look.
