FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions. We recommend ordering your usual size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. Clean them by hand only.
Are they waterproof?
While the leather offers some protection against light drizzle, they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
How do I maintain the white colour?
Regularly wipe them down and use a white leather renovator or polish if the leather begins to look dull or scuffed.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the comfort cushioned insole is designed to be accessible, allowing for easy cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
This is natural for leather shoes. Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their shape and minimize deep creasing.
Stains on white leather
Do not submerge in water. Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild leather-safe cleaner to gently lift the stain.
Squeaking sound while walking
This is often caused by moisture or friction under the removable insole. Remove the insole, wipe the area with a dry cloth, and ensure it is positioned flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Equipe II trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt build-up. Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Lacing: Adjust the lace-to-toe closure to your personal preference; ensuring the laces are not pulled too tight helps maintain the integrity of the eyelets.
- Protection: Use a water-repellent leather spray to protect the shoes from accidental spills and moisture, though ensure the product is suitable for smooth leather first.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for debris caught in the grooves to maintain optimal grip.
