FAQs
Are Gola Harrier trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though the suede upper may feel snug initially.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing will damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these suitable for athletic activities like running?
The Harrier is designed as a casual fashion trainer; it is not recommended for intense athletic training or long-distance running.
How do I protect the grey suede from stains?
We recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray prior to your first wear to repel dirt and moisture.
Is the insole removable?
The insole is designed to be part of the shoe's comfort system; removing it may affect the fit and support.
What is the best way to style these trainers?
They work best with casual attire such as jeans, chinos, or shorts for a clean, heritage-inspired look.
Troubleshooting
Suede is looking flat or dirty
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material and lift away trapped debris.
The fit feels slightly tight
Loosen the laces significantly and wear thin cotton socks for the first few days to allow the material to naturally soften and contour to your foot.
Water stains on the surface
Allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature away from heat sources, then brush with a suede brush to even out the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Harriers stay in top condition, follow these recommendations:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your comfort level; since the shoes are made of suede, they may stretch very slightly over time to accommodate the shape of your foot.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the grey color of the suede over time.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede eraser or a light damp cloth, but avoid soaking the material, as excess water can cause the suede to stiffen or lose its nap.
- Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier against minor spills and dust.
