Troubleshooting
Leather appearing dull or dirty
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush to gently remove surface debris.
Heel slipping while walking
Adjust the lace-to-toe tension to ensure the ankle collar fits snugly against your heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Equipe II trainers remain in top condition, follow these steps:
- Breaking In: Wear them indoors for short periods before long outings to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather to shield the white finish from liquid spills.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or discolouration.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tightened evenly to maintain the structural integrity of the upper.
