FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Gola Viper Strap trainers are described as having a standard fitting, which may not be ideal for children with significantly wide feet. It's recommended to check reviews or consult sizing guides for more specific fit information.

How durable are the hook and loop straps?

The hook and loop (riptape) fasteners are designed for repeated use. However, like all such fasteners, their effectiveness can diminish over time with extensive wear and tear. Keeping them clean can help maintain their grip.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede upper, which can be damaged by water and agitation. Spot cleaning and hand care are the preferred methods.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is a signature gum sole, which is typically made of rubber, providing good grip and durability.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper material of these trainers is suede.

Troubleshooting

Riptape not sticking firmly

Ensure the riptape surfaces are clean and free from debris. Brush the hooks and loops gently to restore their grip. If wear is significant, the fasteners may need replacement.

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow instructions carefully. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoe smells after wear

Allow shoes to air dry completely between wears. Place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Regular cleaning according to care instructions will also help.

Inconsistent sizing

Refer to Gola's official sizing chart for the most accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the chart before purchasing.
