FAQs
What material are the Gola Viper trainers made of?
The Gola Viper trainers feature a suede upper, a PU (polyurethane) sock liner for comfort, and a rubber sole.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday use. They are not specifically designed for high-impact activities like running, which require specialized athletic footwear.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. It's advisable to protect the suede with a suitable protector spray.
What is the origin of the Gola Viper design?
The Gola Viper design is inspired by Gola's 1976 design vault, offering a heritage look with modern updates like the gum sole.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, suede is not ideal for very wet conditions as it can easily stain and become damaged. It's recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a suede protector.
What does the 'gum sole' refer to?
The 'gum sole' refers to the dark-colored, often translucent rubber sole that provides grip and durability, and in this case, adds a fashionable, on-trend element to the trainer.

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are worn or dirty.
Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Clean existing laces by handwashing with mild soap and water.
Shoes feel tight after initial wear.
Suede can stretch slightly over time. Wear them with thicker socks for short periods or use a shoe stretcher designed for suede. Avoid excessive stretching which could damage the material.
Gum sole is losing its color.
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Protective sprays may help prevent discoloration from environmental factors.
