FAQs

What material is the Gola Harrier made from?

The Gola Harrier features a suede upper, a synthetic lining, and a rubber sole.

How should I clean my suede Gola Harrier trainers?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid using water and harsh chemicals.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The Gola Harrier is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear trainer. While the rubber sole offers grip, they are not intended for high-impact sports.

It signifies that the Harrier is a core, iconic, and historically important model for the Gola brand, representing its heritage and design philosophy.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather, as moisture can damage the suede and lead to staining. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

What is the 'wingflash' mentioned in the description?

The 'wingflash' is a distinctive design element, often a contrasting coloured stripe or panel, that is a signature feature on many Gola trainers, including the Harrier.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Ensure you are measuring your foot correctly according to standard UK sizing. The Harrier is described as having a 'Standard Fitting'.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Laces are worn or damaged

Replace laces with a similar style or colour. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.

Soles feel slippery

Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth to remove any embedded debris. If wear is significant, consider professional resole services.

Sizing feels slightly off

Ensure feet are measured correctly. Consider using insoles for minor adjustments, or consult with a shoe specialist if the fit is significantly uncomfortable.
