FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas BW Army trainers follow standard sizing and provide a regular fit for most adult users.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are fashion trainers designed for casual streetwear, not for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I protect the leather?
Use a leather conditioner suited for cracked leather and avoid soaking the shoes in water.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
While leather provides some water resistance, they are not waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water damage to the leather texture.
Does the leather stretch over time?
As with most high-quality leather footwear, the material will slightly stretch and contour to the shape of your foot with regular wear.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use cedar shoe trees after every wear to help smooth out the material.
Difficulty cleaning the cracked leather surface
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust before applying a specialized leather cream with a microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your BW Army trainers remain in top condition, start by applying a leather conditioner specifically formulated for cracked finishes to prevent the material from becoming brittle. To maintain the fit, always loosen the laces fully before putting the shoes on or taking them off to prevent heel collapse. Compatibility-wise, these shoes pair best with denim, chinos, or relaxed-fit trousers. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use shoe trees if you plan on storing them for extended periods to maintain their shape.
