FAQs

How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?

It's recommended to measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of their longest toe. Compare this measurement to a standard size chart for children's footwear, or refer to Gola's specific sizing guide if available. The size listed is UK children's foot size.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers have suede uppers and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or puddles.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, these trainers should not be machine washed, especially due to the suede material. Machine washing can damage the material and structure of the shoe. Spot cleaning and brushing are the recommended methods.

What is the age group for these trainers?

These trainers are designed for kids, suitable for active young children who can manage the hook and loop fasteners.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag is also advisable.

What does 'standard fitting' mean?

'Standard fitting' indicates that the shoes are designed to accommodate a typical foot width. They are not specifically narrow or wide fittings.

Troubleshooting

Hook and loop straps losing grip

Clean the hook and loop surfaces gently with a small brush to remove any lint or debris that might be preventing a secure closure.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, consult specialized suede cleaning products and follow their instructions carefully.

Odour inside the trainers

Ensure the trainers are completely dry before storing. Place them in a well-ventilated area or use baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odours. Regularly air them out.
