FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Gola Viper 78 generally fits true to UK sizing standards. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for sock thickness.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No. Washing machines can damage the suede material and compromise the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.

Are these suitable for running?

No, these are heritage-style fashion trainers and do not contain the specialized shock absorption or stability features required for running.

What is the primary material used?

The outer construction features high-quality suede, while the interior uses a blend of textile and other synthetic materials for comfort.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

The Gola Viper 78 is designed with a flat heel profile, which offers a traditional retro feel rather than corrective arch support.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on the suede

Gently rub the affected area with a soft suede brush or a dedicated suede eraser to lift the fibers.

Difficulty maintaining tension in laces

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and use a double knot if the lace material is prone to slipping.

Foot discomfort during long walks

Consider inserting an aftermarket cushioned arch support insole, as the factory design favors a minimalist flat feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gola Viper 78 trainers maintain their appearance, regular maintenance is recommended. Since the exterior is made of suede, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud, as water and dirt can stain the nap of the fabric.

  1. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear.
  2. Stain Removal: For minor marks, use a suede eraser or a light application of a dedicated suede cleaner.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray to help protect the material from unexpected spills.
