FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

Based on the product description, they are intended to fit true to size. It is recommended to consult sizing charts or try them on if possible.

How do I clean the waxed canvas and suede?

For waxed canvas, use a damp cloth. For suede, use a suede brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and do not machine wash.

Can I wear these for running or sports?

These trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and offer moderate traction. They are not specifically designed for intense athletic activities or running.

What is the main difference between the suede and leather versions?

The primary difference lies in the upper material. The suede version features suede overlays on the canvas, while the leather version will have leather elements incorporated into the upper construction, affecting texture and care.

What does 'deliberately frayed detailing' mean?

This refers to intentional design elements where the edges of materials, such as on the tongue or heel, are intentionally left slightly unfinished or frayed to give a subtle, deconstructed aesthetic.

What is the sole height?

The sole height is 1.5 cm, increasing to 2.5 cm at its highest point.

What is the origin of the BW Army silhouette?

The BW Army silhouette is inspired by a 1970s German military training shoe (GAT).

Troubleshooting

Suede looking dull or dirty

Use a suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Waxed canvas losing its finish

The waxed finish is designed to age. For re-waxing, specific canvas waxing products can be applied sparingly, following product instructions. Avoid machine washing.

Laces fraying or wearing out

Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. You can find replacements at most shoe stores or online retailers.

Discomfort after wearing

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that the laces are not tied too tightly.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They are best suited for everyday wear rather than intense athletic activities.

Care:
