FAQs

Are Gola Torpedo trainers waterproof?

No, the trainers are made of suede and are not waterproof. It is recommended to use a suede-specific water-repellent spray to provide a basic level of protection against light moisture.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede-specific cleaning kit including a brush and eraser. Avoid using water or harsh household detergents, as these can stain or damage the texture.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, you should never put suede footwear in the washing machine, as the agitation and heat will ruin the material and the construction of the shoe.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The Gola Torpedo is generally considered to be true to size for UK measurements. If you typically wear a specific size in retro-style trainers, it is recommended to stick with that size.

Are these suitable for gym use?

While inspired by retro stadium trainers, these are lifestyle shoes and lack the advanced cushioning and support features required for modern gym training or running.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the elongated lacing system uses standard flat laces. You can replace them with similar-length laces if they become worn or if you wish to change the look.

Troubleshooting

Surface dirt on suede

Use a dedicated suede brush and gently work in the direction of the nap to lift debris.

Difficulty maintaining shape during storage

Insert shoe trees or crumpled tissue paper inside the trainers when not in use to retain the short-toe profile.

Sole losing traction

Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove grit and debris that can build up over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic 1980s retro aesthetic
  • High-quality suede material
  • Durable and grippy gum sole
  • Secure fit due to elongated lacing

Cons

  • Suede requires dedicated cleaning products
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance
  • Lighter colour secondary accents may show dirt

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best out of your Gola Torpedo trainers, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the fit is designed to be true to form. Because the primary material is suede, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy environments. Use a soft-bristled suede brush to regularly remove loose dirt and dust from the surface. If spills occur, use a dedicated suede cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or the colour to fade.
