FAQs

Is the sizing true to size?

Yes, the adidas Originals BW Army generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are fashion sneakers meant for casual use and do not offer the cushioning or stability required for running.

How do I protect the light beige leather?

We recommend applying a high-quality, water-repellent leather protector spray before your first wear to help repel dirt and moisture.

What is the inspiration behind this shoe?

This model is a tribute to the vintage German army trainers from the 1970s, which adidas later adopted into their Originals lifestyle collection.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather, suede, and adhesive bonds. Always hand clean with appropriate care products.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box

Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help maintain the leather shape and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty removing surface scuffs

Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth for leather sections and a clean rubber eraser or suede brush for scuffs on the suede overlays.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic 1970s inspired aesthetics
  • High-quality leather and suede construction
  • Gum sole provides excellent traction
  • Highly versatile for both casual and refined outfits

Cons

  • Light beige colour shows dirt easily
  • Requires regular upkeep to maintain leather finish
  • Limited arch support compared to modern performance trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are low-top leather shoes, they require minimal 'break-in' time, but proper care is essential to protect the beige finish. To clean, use a specialized leather cleaner for the smooth panels and a dry suede brush for the overlays to prevent water damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or mud, as the light suede is prone to staining. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place with shoe trees to maintain their shape, and apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the upper from drying or cracking.
