FAQs

Is the BW Army Decon true to size?

Yes, most users find that the shoe fits true to their standard Adidas sizing, though the leather construction may feel slightly snug initially before breaking in.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the leather is durable, heavy rain should be avoided. If they get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry slowly away from heat sources.

Does the shoe have removable insoles?

The BW Army Decon generally features standard construction; check the specific pair for removable liners if you require custom orthotics.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is crafted from a combination of leather and suede, with a full leather-lined interior for comfort.

How do I maintain the matte/glossy leather finish?

Use a neutral leather cream or conditioner periodically to keep the leather hydrated and maintain the distinct matte and glossy textures.

Troubleshooting

Visible creases forming on the leather upper

Use wooden or plastic shoe trees when the shoes are not being worn to help maintain shape and minimize deep creasing.

Suede panels picking up dust and grime

Use a specialized suede brush or a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the suede fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your BW Army Decon shoes, use a high-quality leather protector spray before the first wear to guard against moisture and dirt. For cleaning, gently wipe the leather sections with a slightly damp, soft cloth. The suede T-toe detailing should be addressed using a dedicated suede brush to remove surface debris without damaging the nap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these processes can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity of the shoes. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
