FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the BW Army Decon is designed as a lifestyle trainer inspired by military style, not for intensive sports or running.
How do I clean the Active Green suede?
Use a dry suede brush to lift dirt. For deep stains, use a suede-specific cleaning solution, but always spot-test in an inconspicuous area first.
What does the 'Decon' designation mean?
Decon refers to 'deconstructed,' meaning the shoe is built with fewer internal reinforcements, resulting in a slimmer, more flexible, and lightweight fit.
Does the suede require a protective spray?
Yes, applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray for suede can help preserve the colour and texture over time.
Can I replace the leather insole?
Yes, the insole can typically be removed and replaced with a custom orthotic or fresh insole if desired.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, this model is designed for a unisex fit, though it is important to verify your specific sizing according to the UK size guide provided.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Inner leather lining feels damp
Remove the insole if possible and allow the shoe to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
Minor scuffs on the rubber sole
Wipe the translucent rubber outsole with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are crafted from premium suede, proper maintenance is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid wearing them during heavy rainfall or in muddy conditions, as water and dirt can easily penetrate the suede fibers. To clean, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for minor marks. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the Active Green color from fading. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before putting them away if they become slightly damp.
