FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Gola Equipe II is designed as a fashion/lifestyle sneaker and lacks the advanced cushioning and stability features required for running.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Like most leather footwear, they may soften and adapt to your foot shape after initial break-in, but they should feel comfortable from the first wear.
How do I clean the rubber soles?
Use a mild soap and warm water solution with a brush or sponge to scrub the rubber outsole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, excessive water can damage the material. It is recommended to use a leather-safe water repellent spray if you plan on wearing them in damp conditions.
Is the sizing true to standard UK sizes?
Yes, Gola Equipe II trainers typically follow standard UK adult sizing conventions.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
This is normal for leather footwear. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Soles feeling too firm during long walks
Consider adding an aftermarket cushioned or orthotic insole to increase arch support and impact absorption.
Stains on the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush, followed by a light leather conditioner to keep the material supple.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Equipe II trainers maintain their appearance, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dirt and dust. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can crack or stiffen the leather. For the best fit, ensure you use the laces to secure the tongue against the top of your foot. If you require additional cushioning, these trainers are compatible with standard flat aftermarket insoles, which can be inserted beneath the factory liner.
