FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, because they are made of suede, machine washing will damage the material. Use dry-cleaning methods like suede brushes.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or puddles.
Can I replace the elastic laces with traditional laces?
Yes, the eyelets are designed to accommodate standard laces if you prefer a traditional tied fit.
What age group is this specific size 11 designed for?
This model is designed for kids, typically in the 4-6 year age range, though foot size varies by child.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The Gola Elan provides a flat, retro-style footbed suitable for casual daily wear rather than specialized orthopedic support.
Troubleshooting
Elastic laces feel too loose or too tight
Check the interior lace anchor points. If the elastic has stretched over time, it may need to be replaced with new standard elasticized cords.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the nap of the suede. Do not use soap or water directly on the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no formal setup; simply adjust the fit by ensuring the elastic laces are tensioned comfortably for the child's foot. For care, avoid submerging the suede in water. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For minor scuffs, a suede eraser is recommended. Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the rubber soles and suede panels.
