FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they feature a structured silhouette, those with wider feet may prefer to size up by half.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction.

What is the difference between the Bw Army and Bw Army Decon?

The 'Decon' or deconstructed models typically feature a thinner, more flexible upper construction for a lighter feel compared to the standard Bw Army.

Are these suitable for gym use?

While they are sturdy enough for light weightlifting, they lack the specialized arch support and cushioning required for high-impact cardio or running.

How do I remove scuffs from the leather?

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser for minor scuffs, followed by a light buffing with a clean cloth.

Troubleshooting

Leather upper feels stiff upon first wear

Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors for a few days to allow the material to naturally soften to your foot shape.

Difficulty keeping the laces tied

Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider using a double knot if the laces are made of a smooth material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless design fits almost any casual outfit
  • Sturdy construction ensures long-term durability
  • Minimalist aesthetic avoids trends that go out of style
  • Available in a variety of colorways to suit personal preference

Cons

  • Design prioritizes fashion over high-intensity athletic performance
  • May require a brief break-in period for the leather upper
  • Limited cushioning compared to modern performance running shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are casual trainers, setup is limited to adjusting the lacing system to achieve your preferred tension for a secure fit. Compatibility is high; the slim profile works well with jeans, chinos, or casual trousers. To ensure the longevity of your Bw Army trainers, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dust. If the shoes have a leather upper, apply a leather-safe conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. Always air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to protect the structural integrity of the materials.
