FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the adidas Originals BW Army Trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or other athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dry suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid getting the suede wet, as this can lead to watermarks and damage.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store your BW Army Trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
Are these trainers truly unisex?
Yes, the design is intended to be unisex. While sizing is listed by UK men's standard, the style is suitable for all genders. Please refer to the size guide for accurate conversions.
How durable is the gum outsole?
The gum outsole is designed for durability in casual wear. It provides good traction and wear resistance for everyday use, but prolonged exposure to harsh conditions or abrasive surfaces may affect its lifespan.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The leather and suede materials can be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and water. Spot cleaning and hand care are the preferred methods.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage. For significant creasing, consider professional leather care.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap. For stains, use a suede eraser and follow up with brushing.
Gum sole discoloration
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. Stubborn marks may require a specialized sole cleaner, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying
Replace frayed laces with new ones. Ensure they are the appropriate length and material for the trainers.
