FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

The Gola Torpedo M trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic activities, as they lack specialized features for such use.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always ensure the shoes are dry before brushing. Avoid using water excessively.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Yes, these trainers are designed to offer a true-to-size fit based on standard UK sizing.

What is the primary material used in these trainers?

The primary material for the upper of these trainers is premium suede leather.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While suede can be treated for water resistance, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.

What is the inspiration behind the Torpedo M design?

The design is inspired by Gola's 1985 archive, particularly classic terrace trainer looks, giving them an authentic old-school appeal.

Are there other color options available?

This specific product is featured in khaki suede with blue branding. Other colorways and sizes may be available in the Gola Torpedo series.

Troubleshooting

Suede discolored or stained

Use a specialized suede eraser for light stains. For tougher stains, consult a professional cleaner or a guide on suede stain removal, testing any product on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoes are new, they may need a short break-in period. If they remain uncomfortable, they may be the wrong size or width.

Laces are worn or damaged

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. You can purchase replacements from shoe care retailers.

Sole feels stiff

New shoes may have a stiffer sole that will soften with wear. Gentle flexing of the sole can help. If the stiffness persists and causes discomfort, ensure the fit is correct.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard casual wear. They are suitable for everyday activities and general wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically.
  3. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to help them retain their shape and air dry them away from direct heat.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag to protect the suede.
