FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Originals BW Army generally fits true to the UK size indicated.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

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

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from soft leather with suede overlay detailing.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

While the leather is durable, the suede overlays can absorb water and stain. It is recommended to apply a protective leather and suede spray before wear.

Do these provide arch support?

The shoes offer standard flat-sole support. If you require specific arch support, you may consider replacing the provided insole with an aftermarket orthotic.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede overlays

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.

Creasing at the toe box

This is normal for leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Slight stiffness upon first wear

Wear them indoors for short intervals to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are low-top leather sneakers, break-in time is minimal but best achieved with thin-to-midweight cotton socks. To keep the shoes in peak condition, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the suede overlays and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for the Chalk White leather sections. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the natural materials and the adhesive of the gum outsole. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the suede.
