FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Gola Equipe II follows standard sizing for adults.
Can these be washed in a washing machine?
No, washing leather trainers in a machine can damage the material and the sole bonding; spot clean by hand instead.
Is the leather waterproof?
While leather is naturally water-resistant, these are not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you live in a rainy climate.
What is the inspiration behind this style?
The Equipe II is inspired by 1970s terrace-style trainers, characterized by a low-profile silhouette and durable rubber outsoles.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The trainers feature a standard fit, but the lace-up design allows for some adjustment if you require a slightly wider feel.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that your laces are not worn out or frayed.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for leather shoes. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Stiff leather feel during break-in
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best initial fit, ensure you select your standard UK adult size, as these trainers are designed for a standard fit. When lacing the trainers, begin at the bottom eyelets and work your way up to achieve the desired tension across the bridge of your foot. To care for the leather upper, wipe away dirt or surface dust with a soft, dry cloth after each use. If the leather becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking. For deep cleaning or stain removal, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for dyed footwear.
