Product Information
Full details
The Gola Elan Trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of heritage style and modern comfort for casual everyday wear. Their key benefit is offering versatile styling that complements various outfits, inspired by traditional sports footwear. A potential consideration is that while the suede upper offers a premium feel, it may require more specific care than smoother leather or synthetic materials.

FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of premium suede.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The Gola Elan Trainers are designed for casual wear and general comfort, not for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, these trainers should not be put in the washing machine, especially due to the suede material.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to Gola's sizing guide and try them on. The lace-up design allows for some adjustment, but starting with the correct size is crucial for comfort.
What is the benefit of the extra heel panel?
The extra heel panel adds a distinct visual detail and a touch of colour, differentiating it slightly from simpler trainer designs.
What makes them 'heritage' trainers?
They are inspired by Gola's history in traditional sports footwear, featuring a classic silhouette and a vintage-style rubber sole.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry completely.
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone
Ensure laces are threaded evenly through the eyelets. Try a different lacing technique, such as a "secure knot" or "double knot" for added security. Replace worn-out laces if necessary.
Comfort seems reduced after initial wear
The insole may need a break-in period. Continue wearing the trainers for short durations, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure the fit is correct for your foot size.
Outer material feels stiff
Suede can be stiff when new. Gentle wear will help break them in. Avoid excessive moisture, which can alter the material's texture.
