FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede material is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by adidas. This model is listed as UK 8, and it's generally recommended to select your usual shoe size. Consider checking user reviews for specific fit information.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can severely damage the suede, leather lining, and sole construction.
What is the main difference between the Decon and standard BW Army models?
The Decon (deconstructed) version typically features a softer, more minimalist upper construction, often with fewer stitched panels and a more streamlined appearance compared to the standard model.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Thin to medium-thickness socks, such as cotton or athletic blends, are generally suitable. For a more comfortable break-in period, thicker socks might be worn briefly.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in a dust bag or their original box is also recommended.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made of 100% rubber, specifically a gum-rubber compound known for its grip and durability.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and lift away surface dirt. For stains, try a specialized suede eraser following product instructions.
Gum sole has scuff marks
Gently clean the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously on the rubber, avoiding contact with the suede upper.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and color. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water, then air dry.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. Wearing them with socks can also help stretch the material for a more comfortable fit over time.
