FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for machine washing?
No, you should never put suede trainers in a washing machine as it can damage the material and the adhesive.
Are the laces functional or decorative?
The laces are elasticated and function to provide a snug fit without needing to be tied, making them perfect for children.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, paired with a classic gum rubber sole unit.
Are they true to size?
Gola Elan trainers typically follow standard UK sizing for children; however, if your child is between sizes, consider the child's growth when selecting.
How do I protect them from water?
It is highly recommended to use a protective suede-compatible water-repellent spray prior to wearing them in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Ensure the elasticated laces are fully stretched by pulling on the tongue of the shoe to create a wider opening.
Stains appearing on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft, dry cloth to gently lift surface stains; avoid using liquid cleaners.
Sole losing traction
Check the bottom of the gum sole for debris or compacted mud, and clean with a damp brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gola Elan trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Because they are crafted from suede, you should apply a suede-specific protective spray before the first use to repel dirt and light moisture. If the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh detergents, as this can ruin the suede nap and color. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent color fading.
