FAQs
Are Gola Equipe II trainers waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural water resistance, they are not waterproof. Use a protective leather spray to increase water repellency.
How do I find my size?
The Equipe II fits true to size for most individuals. Refer to the size guide for UK measurements to ensure the best fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather, glue, and overall structural integrity of the shoe. Always hand clean with appropriate products.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The Equipe II is a classic terrace trainer with a flat sole, offering minimal arch support compared to dedicated performance athletic shoes.
What is the best way to clean the gum outsole?
Use a soft brush and warm soapy water to scrub the rubber outsole, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is generally accommodating, but those with wider feet may find the leather slightly restrictive initially as it breaks in.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creasing.
Surface scuffs on white leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather-safe cleaning solution to buff out light scuffs.
Squeaking sound while walking
Ensure the insole is properly seated or check if moisture has entered the shoe; allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Equipe II trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Leather shoes often require a few wears to mold to your foot shape; wear them indoors for short periods initially.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt buildup. Use specialized leather cleaners for stubborn stains.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain-repellent spray designed for leather to protect against moisture and environmental factors.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colours from fading.
- Laces: Regularly check and wash the white laces separately using mild soap to keep the front of the shoe looking fresh.
