Full details

FAQs

What material are the Gola Elan trainers made of?

The specific variant described features a premium leather upper with suede accents and a rubber outsole. The description also notes a comfort insole.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed as heritage sneakers for casual wear and all-day comfort. They are not intended for rigorous athletic performance.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used, always testing on a small area first.

What is the fit like?

The trainers feature a classic lace-up design for an adjustable fit. They are designed for comfort with an insole suitable for all-day wear. It's recommended to refer to Gola's sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the leather and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a protector spray for added water resistance.

Do these trainers resemble other Gola models?

Yes, the Gola Elan is noted to have a strong resemblance to Gola's iconic Harrier model, with an added heel panel detail.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight

Ensure the laces are loosened before putting them on. If they still feel tight, consider wearing them with thinner socks or allow time for the leather to naturally stretch with wear.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days. If the noise persists, check if anything is trapped in the sole or try a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole.

Discoloration on leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, consult a professional shoe care service. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Suede looking matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains on suede, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and marks. For suede elements, use a specialized suede brush to maintain texture and remove dry dirt. Avoid harsh detergents.

  3. Protection: Consider using a leather and suede protector spray to guard against stains and water damage, especially for the suede accents.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
