FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Gola Harrier is a heritage-inspired lifestyle trainer designed for casual fashion use, not for high-impact sports or long-distance running.
How do I maintain the vibrant colours?
Keep the shoes away from intense, direct sunlight and use a suede-safe protective spray to prevent staining and discolouration.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The Gola Harrier generally fits true to size for UK standard measurements, but personal preference for roomier or snugger fits may vary.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can severely damage the suede material and the structure of the shoe. Always hand-clean using professional suede-care products.
Are these trainers waterproof?
They are not waterproof. Due to the suede material, it is recommended to avoid heavy rain and wet conditions to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots on suede
Let the shoes air dry completely, then use a suede brush or an eraser designed for suede to gently buff the affected area.
Creasing in the suede upper
Use wooden or plastic shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep-set creasing.
Colour transfer or fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and damp conditions, and ensure the shoes are kept away from harsh chemical cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these trainers arrive ready-to-wear, no physical setup is required other than lacing them to your preferred tension. They are highly compatible with various casual outfits, leaning heavily into a smart-casual wardrobe. To ensure the longevity of your footwear:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Stain Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first use to create a barrier against dust and minor liquid spills.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the vibrant green and red colours to fade over time.
- Revitalizing: If the suede appears flattened, steam the shoes lightly and use a suede brush to restore the nap.
