FAQs
What is the primary material of the BW Army Decon?
The upper is primarily constructed from grey suede, with a leather lining in the collar.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These are designed as lifestyle and casual wear shoes, not for athletic performance. The gum outsole provides everyday grip, but they lack the support and features for sports.
How do I clean the grey suede?
Use a dry suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a suede-specific cleaner is recommended. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
What does 'Decon' mean in the product name?
'Decon' refers to a deconstructed version, typically meaning a simplified or cleaner construction compared to the original model.
Do these shoes have good arch support?
These are minimalist sneakers and do not offer significant built-in arch support. They are designed for a more natural foot feel.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the suede offers some resistance, it is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage and staining to the suede.
What is the main difference from the original BW Army?
The 'Decon' version offers a softer upper and a more minimalist construction compared to the original, emphasizing sleekness.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner according to product directions.
Laces appear worn
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and color. You can find replacements at most shoe stores or online.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the gum outsole is clean. While designed for grip, very smooth or wet surfaces may reduce traction. Use caution in such conditions.
