FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Adidas BW Army Grey Low Shoes are designed for casual wear and everyday activities. They are not intended for intense athletic training or running due to their construction and sole design.
How do I clean the suede and wax canvas?
Use a suede brush for the suede and a damp cloth for the wax canvas. Specialized cleaners are recommended for tougher stains, following product instructions carefully for each material.
What is the fit like?
These shoes feature a regular fit and are generally true to size. It's recommended to refer to the size chart and try them on if possible.
What does 'BW Army' stand for?
'BW' is often associated with 'Bundeswehr', the German armed forces, indicating the military-inspired design of the shoe.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the wax canvas offers some water resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, especially for the suede parts. It's best to protect them in wet conditions.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is approximately 1.5 cm, increasing to 2.5 cm at the highest point.
What materials are the shoes made of?
The upper is made of wax canvas and suede, the lining is leather, and the outsole is rubber.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Wax canvas looks dirty
Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, which can damage the wax coating.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
This is normal for new leather and canvas shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Laces are frayed
Replace the laces with a new pair of a similar length and material. You can find replacement laces at most shoe stores or online retailers.
