FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic activities?
The BW Army Decon trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style. They offer comfort for everyday activities but lack the specialized support and cushioning required for high-impact sports like running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean suede. Brush gently in one direction to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used, followed by brushing.
What does 'COLD CEMENT construction' mean?
COLD CEMENT construction refers to a method where the sole is bonded to the upper using adhesive at room temperature. This typically results in a durable and flexible bond suitable for everyday wear.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the leather offers some protection, the suede panels are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to use a waterproofing spray on the suede for added protection.
Do these trainers come in other colors besides black?
The specific model described is black. However, the BW Army series may be available in other colorways from adidas Originals. Please check product listings for available options.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creases when they are not being worn.
How does the sizing run for these trainers?
Sizing can vary. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult the brand's size guide. For this UK 11 size, ensure it aligns with your usual fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Leather creasing excessively.
This is natural with wear. Using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize deep creases. Ensure leather is conditioned to maintain flexibility.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
The rubber sole offers good grip, but like all footwear, traction can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Faint scuffs on leather.
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather repair balm or cream matching the shoe's color may be needed.
