Gola size & fit guide
Our Gola women’s range includes Firefly and Elan Glitz retro trainers. Compare the size labels offered for the model and check the fit across the front of the foot.
How Gola shoes fit
This guide provides fitting advice. Use the size labels on the product and ask us if you need help comparing sizes.
- Retro trainer shape: Try with your usual trainer socks and check toe room while standing. Your heel should remain secure without pulling the laces excessively tight.
- Firefly: Our Firefly description lists a nylon-and-suede upper and removable cushioned footbed. If using your own insole, check the depth and heel hold with it in place.
- Changing models: Do not assume Elan Glitz and Firefly have identical internal space. Check the material and footbed details for the exact style.
Between sizes?
Tell us your usual UK or EU trainer size and which Gola model you want. We can help interpret the product labels and advise on the chosen shape.
Brand guidance is a starting point. Product-specific details and the way the shoe holds your foot also matter.
How to measure your feet →When your shoes arrive: a quick fit check
Try them indoors on a clean surface before deciding to keep them.
- Try both shoes. Wear your usual socks or tights and any insoles you intend to use. Adjust the fastenings.
- Check toe room. Your toes should move comfortably, without pressing against the front or being squeezed at the sides.
- Take a few steps. Check for persistent heel slipping, rubbing or pressure across the top of your foot.
- Something feels wrong? Ask us before wearing them outside. A different width or shape may help more than changing size.
How to measure your feet
- Place a sheet of paper on a hard, level floor with one edge against a wall. Wear the socks you plan to wear with the shoes.
- Stand with your heel gently against the wall and your weight on the foot. Have someone mark the end of your longest toe, keeping the pencil upright.
- Measure from the wall edge to the mark in centimetres. Repeat for your other foot and use the longer measurement. Measuring towards the end of the day can be helpful.
Only compare this measurement with a chart labelled foot length. An insole or shoe measurement may include extra space and is not interchangeable. Do not add an allowance unless that brand’s instructions specifically say to.
