Gola Shoes Vintage-Style Shoes With a Story to Tell

Allow us to re- introduce you to a shoe that you may have known for years. There are lots of reasons we at findyoursneakers.com love Gola Shoes, and we think you should get to know one of Britain's oldest sports brands a little better.

Gola Shoes marks their inception in 1905, when they were first created in a little factory in the UK. They promoted football boots in the 1930s with an ad campaign that boasted, "Gola means Goals, " and manufactured army boots during WWII. The little company with a big heart grew throughout the years, surviving all that came to emerge as an unparalleled force in shoe design in the 1960s and 1970s with the Harrier training shoe.

Today, the rich history of Gola Shoes and their continuing combination of vintage and vanguard fashions culminate in a collection of footwear that the masses continue to admire and seek out. Perhaps best known for the 1972 Gola bag -- an international phenomenon -- and today's sneakers and track suits, the Gola brand remains beloved by those who've donned it over the years. In 2009, Gola Shoes announced a collaboration with eBoy and Christian Lacroix and launched the "Classics. With a Twist," media campaign to show off its classically designed shoes as versatile and stylish enough for today's sneaker lovers everywhere.

The latest in Gola Shoes merchandise includes Men's and Women's Plimsolls, Trainers, and a cool variety of Gola Watches. The Redford Bag Collection is a fun, vintage way to accessorize, and Gola Shoes' Boot Collection is functional and stylish. Of course, we still like classic Gola Sneakers the best, and think you should give the Goal Quota a second look -- or a first one if this cool sneaker has somehow slipped by you!

As for the future of Gola Shoes, 2011 is looking bright. Gola Shoes is now on Facebook, bringing their flair to an even broader audience, sure to appreciate the vintage style and modern versatility that Gola Shoes afford. Watch out, World. Gola Shoes are still rockin'.
