Does the red wingflash fade over time?
With proper care and by avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight, the color remains vibrant for the life of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Water spots on suede
Lightly dampen the entire suede surface with a clean cloth and let it dry naturally away from heat sources to avoid uneven drying.
Suede looks matted or flat
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub the material in a circular motion to lift the fibers and restore the texture.
Trainer feels slightly stiff
Suede often softens with wear; try wearing them for short periods at home to break them in before extended outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Harrier Trainers last, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Protection: Treat the suede with a water-repellent spray designed for suede before the first wear to guard against light moisture and stains.
