FAQs
What material are the Gola Tornado trainers made of?
The Gola Tornado trainers feature a combination of a thick woven nylon upper enhanced with matching suede details.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and offer a retro aesthetic. While comfortable for walking, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact athletic sports.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a suede-specific cleaner or a lightly damp cloth for stains. Avoid excessive water and always allow them to air dry.
What does the 'wedge sole' mean?
A wedge sole is a type of sole where the heel and the front of the shoe are at the same height, creating a solid wedge shape. It offers a comfortable, slightly elevated base.
Are there other color options available for the Tornado model?
While this guide focuses on the Purple/Pink variant, Gola often offers its popular models in various colorways. Please check the Gola website or authorized retailers for other available options.
Do these trainers come in men's sizes?
The Gola Tornado trainers described here are specifically designed for women. Please refer to product listings for men's or unisex models if available.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers, especially due to the suede components. Hand cleaning and air drying are the preferred methods.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush away dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions, or a slightly damp cloth on affected areas only. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are difficult to tie securely.
Ensure the laces are threaded evenly through the eyelets. Try a different lacing technique, such as a secure knot variation, or consider replacing the laces if they are worn.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that might be affecting grip. If the issue persists on specific wet surfaces, exercise caution as with any footwear.
Material feels stiff initially.
This is common with new suede and nylon. Wear the trainers for short periods indoors to break them in. The material will soften with use.

Care:

- Cleaning Nylon: Wipe the nylon sections with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but rinse thoroughly.
