About Gola

Gola has been a stylish icon in fashion and sport since 1905, creating high-quality footwear and accessories for over 120 years. Gola is a true British fashion legend, steeped in history with a sporting heritage predating its closest competitors. 

From humble beginnings, the Gola brand has grown from a small family business born in a small factory in 1905 to an internationally recognised brand famous for its stylish plimsolls, trainers and bags.

As our shoe designs soared in popularity throughout the years, we expanded our range to suit our customer’s demands and changing trends. 

Despite two World Wars and commercial competition, we continued to build on our knowledge and experience. Before we knew it, Gola was the number-one sportswear brand of the 1960s and ‘70s and the go-to range for passionate fans and professional sportspeople.

We’re very proud of our roots and journey to the top. Some of our personal Gola highlights have to be the international craze that followed the launch of the Harrier in the late 1960s and the iconic Gola bag in the early 1970s. Throughout the 1970s, Gola was also seen on the pitches of major football clubs.
