FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports like football?
These are designed for lifestyle and casual daily wear. While durable, they lack the specific traction patterns required for organized field sports.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the adhesive and the finish of the gold material. Clean by hand with a damp cloth.
What age group is this shoe designed for?
The Viper Glimmer Strap series is designed for children, ranging from infants to pre-teen sizes depending on the specific model.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials are water-resistant to splashes but are not designed to be submerged or used as waterproof footwear in heavy rain.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure your child's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest, and refer to the Gola UK size chart for an accurate match.
Troubleshooting
The hook-and-loop strap is not sticking securely.
Check the hook part of the fastener for trapped dirt or lint and use a pair of tweezers or a stiff brush to remove debris.
The trainers feel too tight after a few months.
Children's feet grow rapidly; check the fit using the 'thumb width' rule between the toe and the front of the shoe, and upgrade to the next size if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for these trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth after muddy excursions to prevent staining the gold material.
- Fastener Maintenance: Regularly clear lint or fibers from the hook-and-loop straps to ensure they maintain a secure grip.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a dry, ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can warp synthetic materials.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizing; when ordering, ensure you verify the child's current foot measurement, as the fit is designed to be snug but not restrictive.
