FAQs
What is the Gola Harrier known for?
The Gola Harrier is Gola's flagship trainer, originally created in 1968, known for its classic design, suede upper, and iconic wingflash branding.
What materials are used in the Gola Harrier trainers?
The trainers feature a suede upper, a PU (polyurethane) lining, and a rubber sole.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth for stains. Avoid saturation and always allow to air dry away from heat.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
No, the Gola Harrier trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle use, not for sports or strenuous athletic activities.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain, as water can stain and damage the suede material. A suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What does 'flagship trainer' mean?
A flagship product is one that is considered the most important or best-known in a company's range, often representing the brand's core identity and design philosophy.
How can I maintain the color of the suede?
Regular brushing helps maintain the texture and appearance. For color refreshment, consider suede care products specifically designed for color restoration, but always test first.
Troubleshooting
Suede color looks faded or dull.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For deeper color restoration, consider a suede dye or colored suede cleaner, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Water stains on the suede.
Allow the trainers to dry completely, then use a suede brush to gently remove the stain. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner might be necessary.
Soles feel slippery.
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free from debris. If the slipperiness persists, the soles may be worn down and might need replacement by a cobbler.
Inside of the trainer is damp.
Remove insoles if possible and allow the trainer to air dry thoroughly, ideally stuffed with newspaper to absorb moisture.
