FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Gola Elan Leather Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good traction, they are not engineered for high-impact or specialized sports activities.
How should I clean the leather and suede parts?
For leather, use a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. For suede, use a suede brush and eraser for general cleaning, and a specialized suede cleaner for stains, always following product instructions.
What size should I order?
Refer to the Gola sizing chart provided on the product page. These trainers are designed for adult women's UK sizes. Consider your usual fit and whether you prefer a snug or looser feel.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials, especially the suede accents.
What is the main difference between the Elan and the Harrier models?
The Gola Elan is very similar to the iconic Harrier model, with the Elan featuring an additional panel at the heel for a touch of extra color and a slightly updated aesthetic.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The Elan series is available in various color combinations. Please check the product listing for the specific colors and sizes currently in stock for the Gola Elan Leather Trainers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and adjust them to provide more room. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks for more space.
Suede areas appear scuffed or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used, following the product instructions carefully.
Leather shows minor scuffs
For light scuffs, try buffing the area with a soft, dry cloth. A leather conditioner or polish matching the shoe's color can help conceal minor marks.
Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the slipperiness persists, consider using a shoe grip spray or consult a cobbler for potential sole treatments.
