FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The BW Army Decon trainers have a standard fit. While the leather will conform to the foot over time, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Checking the specific fit recommendations from the retailer is advised.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

The leather and suede materials are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, heavy rain is not recommended. Using a waterproofing spray designed for leather and suede can offer some protection.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer, usually based on UK, EU, or US sizing. These trainers generally follow standard sizing, but slight variations can occur. The provided UK size is 10.

What is the difference between this model and others like the Samba?

The BW Army Decon shares a similar minimalist aesthetic and gum outsole with the Samba. However, the BW Army Decon often features a more deconstructed upper and a cleaner silhouette, focusing on purist design principles.

How often should I clean my leather trainers?

Regularly wipe them down after wear to remove surface dirt. A more thorough cleaning with leather cleaner is recommended every few weeks or as needed, depending on usage and environmental conditions.

Can the laces be replaced?

Yes, the laces can be easily replaced with standard trainer laces if they become worn or if you wish to change the color.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears scuffed or dirty

Gently clean with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner might help restore the finish.

Suede T-toe looks matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the texture and lift away surface dirt. Avoid using water on suede areas.

Gum sole has marks

Try using a clean pencil eraser to gently rub away marks. For persistent stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Avoid excessive force during the break-in period.

Care Instructions:
