FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Gola Viper Trainers generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No. The suede material will be damaged by water submersion and agitation in a washing machine.
How do I protect the suede from stains?
It is recommended to apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear.
Are the insoles removable?
The trainers come with standard factory insoles; however, they can often be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior upper is crafted from high-quality suede, providing that classic 1970s look and feel.
Are these suitable for running or gym workouts?
No, these are fashion trainers intended for casual daily use, not for high-impact athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots on suede
Lightly brush the suede with a dry brush to lift the nap and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Dirt accumulation on the surface
Use a specialized suede brush in small circular motions to lift surface dirt without damaging the material.
Uncomfortable fit after initial wear
Ensure your laces are adjusted evenly. If the fit remains too tight, consider using thinner insoles or verify your size against the Gola UK sizing chart.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you receive your Gola Viper Trainers, ensure you check the fit with your standard walking socks to account for the suede's slight natural give over time. To maintain the trainers, use a suede-specific brush to remove dirt and dust after every few wears to prevent buildup. Avoid getting the shoes soaked; if they do become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a professional-grade suede cleaning kit to spot-treat the material gently.
