FAQs
What is the main material of the Adidas BW Army Grey Trainers?
The trainers are primarily constructed from a combination of waxed canvas and suede, with a leather lining and a rubber outsole.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush for general dirt and a suede eraser for marks. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions and avoiding excessive moisture.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed for everyday wear and casual use, offering comfort and durability. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
What does 'frayed panel edges' mean?
This refers to a design detail where the edges of the material panels are left with a slightly unfinished, 'frayed' look, contributing to the shoe's unique aesthetic.
How should I care for the waxed canvas material?
Wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid strong detergents that could affect the wax finish. Allow to air dry naturally.
What size are these trainers?
This guide specifically pertains to the Adidas BW Army Grey Trainers in UK size 8.5.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the waxed canvas offers some protection, suede can be sensitive to excessive water. It is advisable to protect the trainers from heavy rain and consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for both materials.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede eraser for light marks. For deeper stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid using water excessively.
Waxed canvas losing its finish.
Avoid washing with strong detergents. If necessary, use a very mild soap with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Reapplication of a suitable wax product may be considered for restoration.
Laces are worn or damaged.
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and color. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
General discomfort or fit issues.
Ensure the correct size is selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider using insoles for added cushioning or arch support if needed.
