FAQs
Do I need to order my normal shoe size?
This model has a generous fit. If you are typically between two sizes, it is recommended to size down for a better fit.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the glue and soles.
Are these suitable for gym use?
The Viper is designed as a casual fashion trainer. It does not provide the arch support or stability required for high-intensity gym workouts.
What is the best way to waterproof them?
Use a high-quality suede-specific waterproofing spray, applying it in light, even coats and allowing it to dry fully in a well-ventilated area.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from high-quality suede, which gives the shoe its signature textured finish.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove trapped dirt.
Foot feels like it is sliding inside the shoe
Since the fit is generous, consider adding a thin foam or leather insole to occupy excess space.
Marks on the gum sole
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the edges of the rubber sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Gola Viper is built with a suede exterior, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance of the bone grey finish. Always use a specialist suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after wear. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the suede to stiffen or warp. For maximum longevity, apply a standard suede protector spray before first use to create a water-repellent barrier. Given the generous fit, try on the shoes with the socks you intend to wear most frequently to ensure the sizing is comfortable; if you find yourself between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the smaller size.
