FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede upper is not naturally water-resistant. It is recommended to use a suede protector spray before the first wear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the colors over time.
Are these suitable for running?
While inspired by track shoes, the Torpedo is designed for casual lifestyle use and not for professional running or high-impact athletics.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The Torpedo draws from Gola's 1985 archives, specifically focusing on classic terrace and pitch styles popular in the 1980s.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift and remove surface dirt.
Scuff marks on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a light touch with a clean pencil eraser to buff out surface scuffs.
Shoes feel tight after wearing
Loosen the elongated lace facing to adjust the tension across the bridge of the foot for a more relaxed fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear out of the box. For sizing, they follow standard UK adult sizing protocols. To ensure longevity, keep these shoes away from harsh cleaning detergents that can strip the natural oils and pigments from the suede. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede eraser for stubborn spots. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain, as water can leave marks on the suede surface. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the material to stiffen or crack.
