FAQs
What material is the Adidas Originals BW Army primarily made from?
The main upper is constructed from premium full-grain leather, with suede overlays for added texture and style.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The description does not specify width sizing. It is recommended to check with the retailer or try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a brush to remove dirt and maintain grip. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is 3 cm at its highest point.
What is the inner lining made of?
The inner lining is made of leather and is padded for comfort.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather and rubber offer some protection, they are not designed as waterproof footwear. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to protect the materials, especially the suede.
What is the difference between this model and other BW Army variants?
Variants may differ in specific material composition, colour accents, or sizing availability. This guide pertains to the black/grey full-grain leather low-top model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to conform to your foot's shape.
Suede appears discolored after getting wet.
Allow the suede to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent stains, consider a suede cleaner specifically designed for this purpose.
Laces are dirty.
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Alternatively, place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
Outsole grip seems reduced.
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.

Care:
- Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper. For stubborn marks, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to remove dirt. Avoid water on suede areas, as it can stain. For tougher spots, a specialized suede eraser may be helpful.

- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove debris and maintain grip.
