FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK adult sizing.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and suede materials. Clean by hand instead.

What is the primary material?

The upper is constructed from soft leather with additional suede overlays.

Are these suitable for sports?

These are lifestyle shoes inspired by vintage designs and are best suited for walking and casual daily use rather than high-impact athletic activities.

How do I protect the light-colored upper?

It is recommended to use a high-quality leather and suede protective spray before your first wear.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the fabric in circular motions.

Creasing on the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help them maintain their shape and reduce deep creasing.

Surface scuffs on leather

Apply a small amount of neutral leather cream to buff out minor surface marks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality leather and suede combination
  • Lightweight and comfortable for daily wear
  • Excellent grip provided by gum rubber outsoles

Cons

  • Light 'Chalk White' color is prone to showing dirt

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your BW Army sneakers last, avoid machine washing. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the suede portions. For the leather upper, wipe down regularly with a slightly damp cloth and use a dedicated leather conditioner to keep the material soft. When sizing, these shoes generally follow standard UK sizing for men, so select your regular size for the best fit. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or the color from fading.
