FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

No, the BW Army is designed for leisure and casual lifestyle use, not for athletic running.

How should I clean the white leather?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals.

Does the shoe fit true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but leather can feel snug initially until it breaks in.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and moisture can damage the leather and adhesives.

Are the materials sustainable?

The BW Army line uses classic leather and suede materials as part of its vintage construction.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the toe box

This is a natural occurrence with high-quality leather; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.

Dirt buildup on suede overlays

Use a dry suede eraser or a dedicated soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these sneakers arrive fully assembled, they require no special setup. To ensure your BW Army sneakers last, it is recommended to use a protective leather spray upon purchase to guard against moisture and stains. For cleaning, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede overlays. When cleaning the suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt without compromising the material's texture. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or discoloring.
