FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, Gola Viper trainers generally fit according to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede material and affect the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
Are the insoles removable?
The trainers feature a standard footbed; for most users, they provide adequate support as-is, though you may replace them with personal orthotics if needed.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede is porous and can easily absorb water, leading to stains and material stiffening. If you must wear them in light drizzle, ensure you have applied a high-quality water-repellent spray beforehand.
How do I best maintain the color?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading and use a color-restoring suede brush or spray if the brown tone begins to look dull.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots or salt stains on suede
Allow the shoes to dry completely, then gently use a suede eraser or a dry, soft brush to buff away the marks.
Laces slipping or coming undone
Consider a double-knot technique or replace the laces with a slightly longer or textured pair that holds friction better.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Gola Vipers involves a simple loosening of the laces to accommodate your foot and re-tightening to your desired comfort level. To ensure longevity, keep these trainers away from excessive moisture as suede can stain or lose texture when wet. If the trainers become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to lift surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and protector spray to maintain the integrity of the material. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use.
