FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, these are made of suede and should not be placed in a washing machine, as water will ruin the material.
Do I need to tie the laces?
No, these shoes feature elasticated lace-up detailing, meaning they are designed to be worn without the need for manual tying.
Are the Gola Elan trainers true to size?
They generally fit true to UK standard sizing, but it is recommended to measure the child's foot with a little room for growth.
Can these be worn for gym class?
While they are based on training shoes, they are intended for casual wear and general activity rather than high-impact competitive sports.
How do I remove water stains from the suede?
If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then gently brush the suede to restore the texture.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the foot inside
Ensure the elasticated laces are fully stretched at the tongue area to widen the opening, then assist by pulling the heel tab.
Surface scuffs on the suede
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean pencil eraser to gently lift the nap of the suede and buff out minor scuffs.
Gum sole picking up debris
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clean the grooves of the gum sole after walking on muddy terrain.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear with pre-installed elasticated laces, so no initial setup is required. To ensure compatibility, check the specific UK sizing guide provided by Gola to ensure the correct fit for growing feet.
For care, avoid machine washing these suede shoes. Instead, use a suede-specific brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser to address localized marks. Keep them away from prolonged moisture, as water can damage the suede texture and cause color bleeding from the contrast wingflash.
