FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Gola Torpedo generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the slimmer, heritage-inspired profile requires a brief break-in period.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never submerge suede shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this will ruin the suede texture and may cause the glue to weaken.
Are these suitable for running?
While based on heritage athletic footwear, they are designed for everyday casual wear and do not contain the modern technical features required for running or gym activities.
How do I protect them from stains?
Apply a high-quality suede-specific water and stain repellent spray shortly after purchase, following the manufacturer's instructions for drying time.
What does the 'wingflash' refer to?
The wingflash is the iconic Gola side logo design that has been a hallmark of the brand since its inception, adding to the shoe's heritage appeal.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the suede surface
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently stroke the nap of the material in one direction to remove debris.
Minor scuff marks
Use a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser to gently rub the affected area until the mark fades.
General color dullness
A suede-reviving spray can help restore the vibrancy of the material, but always check for color fastness on the heel first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Torpedo trainers maintain their aesthetic, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water and dirt can permanently stain the suede. To clean them, use a dedicated suede brush to lift surface dust and a suede eraser for minor marks. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. For the best fit, pair these with mid-weight cotton socks. If you need to treat the suede for protection, use a specialized water-repellent spray designed specifically for suede and nubuck materials, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
