FAQs
What material are the Gola Viper Trainers made of?
The Gola Viper Trainers feature a suede upper, a PU (Polyurethane) sock liner, and a rubber sole.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for marks. Avoid water and harsh chemicals. For significant stains, professional cleaning is recommended.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and offer comfort for everyday activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or athletic training.
What does the 'Lollipop' colour refer to?
'Lollipop' refers to the specific shade of pink colourway for these Gola Viper Trainers.
What is the origin of the Gola Viper design?
The Viper design is inspired by Gola's 1976 design vault, combining classic elements with a modern interpretation.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, suede is susceptible to water damage. It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in adult UK sizes. Please refer to the product listing or Gola's official sizing guide for specific available sizes.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede eraser for dry marks. For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth and allow to air dry naturally. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the soles are clean and free from mud or debris. For new trainers, the soles may have a slick coating that wears off with use. If slipperiness persists on certain surfaces, consider using a product designed to add grip to shoe soles.
Trainers lose shape
Use shoe trees or stuff the trainers with paper when not in use to help them retain their original shape. Avoid crushing them during storage.
