FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from supple 'Cloud White' leather with a suede T-toe detail.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size guide and compare your UK foot measurement. Given they are unisex, ensure you select the correct corresponding size.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and sole construction. Hand clean using the care instructions provided.

What is the main difference between these and other adidas trainers?

The BW Army Decon stands out for its minimalist, purist design, focusing on premium materials and a clean silhouette, rather than performance features found in athletic-specific models.

What colour is the secondary colour?

The secondary colour is brown, primarily seen in the suede T-toe and the gum outsole.

Do these trainers offer arch support?

These trainers offer standard footbed support suitable for casual wear. They are not specifically designed with advanced arch support features for athletic purposes.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Suede appearing dirty or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a suede cleaner.

Gum sole losing grip

Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. If significant wear is present, consider replacing the shoes as soles can wear down over time.

Discomfort due to fit

Verify the UK size is correct. Consider wearing them with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The BW Army Decon is a unisex trainer designed for adult wear. Its versatile style is compatible with a wide range of casual and semi-casual attire.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Cleaning the Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid water on suede sections.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. Ensure it is dry before wearing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain their shape and condition.
