FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Gola Equipe II is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer and does not provide the support or cushioning required for running.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the finish.
Does the shoe fit true to size?
The Gola Equipe II generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is strongly advised against machine washing these shoes, as the moisture and agitation can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the sole.
What is the gum sole made of?
The sole is made from durable vulcanized rubber, which provides the signature amber-colored 'gum' aesthetic.
Is the leather upper breathable?
While leather is a natural material with some breathability, these trainers are designed for casual wear and may feel warmer than mesh athletic shoes.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuffs or marks
Use a white leather cream or a damp soft cloth with mild soap to gently buff away surface marks.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Double knot the laces or replace them with higher-friction cotton laces if the current ones are too smooth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Equipe II trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Leather shoes may feel stiff initially; wear them for short intervals to allow the material to soften to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized leather cleaner for the white upper. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier.
- Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to dry out and crack.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are kept clean; if they become discolored, they can be removed and hand-washed separately.
