FAQs
How do I clean the cracked leather and suede?
For cracked leather, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For suede, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Consider a protective spray to guard against stains and moisture.
Are these sneakers true to size?
Adidas sneakers generally run true to size. However, given the leather construction, a slight break-in period may be expected for them to fully conform to your foot shape. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine the best fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the rubber outsole offers good traction, the leather and suede upper are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the materials. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather and suede can offer some protection.
What does 'Lux' signify in the product name?
The 'Lux' designation indicates an upgrade to premium materials, specifically the cracked leather and suede details, which elevate the aesthetic and feel beyond the standard BW Army model.
What is the origin of the BW Army silhouette?
The BW Army silhouette originates from standard issue footwear designed for the German Army. Adidas adopted this iconic, clean, and functional design, making it a staple in lifestyle footwear.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit of the BW Army Lux is generally standard. While leather will stretch and conform over time, individuals with particularly wide feet may find them snug initially. Trying them on is recommended if possible.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces can be replaced. Standard sneaker laces of similar length and width will typically fit, allowing for customization or replacement if needed.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or marks on the leather
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather conditioner or polish in a matching color may help. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first.
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to restore its texture. For dirt, use a suede eraser. For stubborn dirt, consider a professional suede cleaner.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot. Thick socks can help during the break-in period.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoe
Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor. Foot powder or odor-absorbing inserts can also be beneficial.

Care:

- Stain Removal: For tough stains on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. For suede stains, a suede eraser or professional cleaning is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather and suede to guard against water and stains, especially during inclement weather.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
