FAQs

What is the primary material of the adidas BW Army Decon?

The primary material for the upper is leather, complemented by suede paneling. The sole is made of rubber.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic activities?

While comfortable and durable for walking, the BW Army Decon is primarily a lifestyle shoe designed for casual wear and not recommended for intense athletic training.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a dedicated suede brush to clean off dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions carefully.

What does 'Decon' mean in the product name?

'Decon' typically refers to a deconstructed version of a shoe, often featuring a simpler or more minimalist design compared to its original counterpart. In this case, it suggests a streamlined take on the original military-inspired trainer.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather can offer some protection, but suede is susceptible to water damage. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, allow them to dry naturally away from heat.

What is the difference between this and other BW Army models?

Variations typically include differences in materials (e.g., full leather vs. mixed materials), colorways, sole types, and specific design elements. This model is specifically the 'Decon' version in black leather with suede paneling and a gum rubber sole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Consider using thicker or thinner socks. If the fit is significantly off, it may be necessary to exchange for a different size. Check the specific sizing guide for this model.

Leather appears dry or creased

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Gently massage it into the leather and allow it to absorb. Avoid over-conditioning.

Suede shows water stains or dirt

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat sources. Once dry, use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner cautiously according to product directions.

Soles are slippery

Ensure the soles are clean and free from mud or debris. For new shoes, the sole may be smoother; light wear often improves traction. If persistent, consider a cobbler for potential sole treatments, though this is uncommon for this type of shoe.
