FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Gola Viper is a lifestyle trainer inspired by heritage terrace styling and is not designed for running or high-intensity sports.
How should I clean the gum sole?
You can clean the rubber gum sole using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid getting soapy water on the suede upper.
Do I need to size up or down?
The fit is generous. It is recommended to size down if you are between sizes for a more secure fit.
Is the material real suede?
Yes, these trainers are crafted with a high-quality suede upper.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and the structural adhesive of the trainers. Stick to hand-cleaning with appropriate tools.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too loose.
If the shoe is slipping, use a thicker pair of socks or insert a slim cushioned insole to take up the extra volume.
Suede is showing signs of water spotting.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then use a dry suede brush to gently lift the nap of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gola Vipers last, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing Adjustment: These trainers feature a generous fit. If you find yourself between sizes, it is strongly recommended to size down to avoid slippage.
- Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid getting the suede saturated with water. For tougher stains, use a suede-specific eraser or cleaning solution.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede color from fading over time.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before initial wear to protect against moisture and environmental debris.
