FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Gola Viper is designed for casual lifestyle wear and does not provide the support or cushioning required for running.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, these trainers come with removable insoles, making it easy to swap them for your preferred arch support or custom orthotics.
How do I clean mud off the suede?
Let the mud dry completely first, then use a soft brush to gently flick off the dried soil. Do not use water on wet mud as it will push the dirt deeper into the fibers.
Do these fit true to size?
The Gola Viper series generally follows standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may want to consider a slightly larger size.
Can these be worn in the rain?
Suede is prone to water damage. While a protector spray can help, it is best to avoid wearing these during heavy rain or in muddy conditions.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or flat
Gently rub the suede in one direction with a suede brush or a clean eraser to restore the nap.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets properly and consider a double knot if the laces are stiff from newness.
Inner lining feels damp
Remove the insole and allow both the shoe and insole to air dry separately in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Viper Trainers stay in top condition, follow these steps:
- Setup: Adjust the laces before the first wear to accommodate your foot volume, ensuring the tongue is centered for maximum comfort.
- Compatibility: The neutral grey and vibrant orange accents pair well with a wide range of colors, especially navy, olive, and charcoal trousers.
- Care Instructions:
- Always use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the suede surface.
- Avoid soaking the shoes in water; if they become wet, stuff them with paper and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Use a suede-specific protector spray before your first use to help repel water and stains.
- Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant orange accents from fading.
