FAQs

What material are the adidas BW Army Decon trainers made of?

The uppers are made of leather, with a textile sockliner and a rubber outsole. The construction method is COLD CEMENT.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday use. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities that require specialized support or cushioning.

How should I clean the leather uppers?

Wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild leather cleaner can be used. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What does 'Decon' mean in the product name?

'Decon' typically refers to a deconstructed version of a classic design, often implying a more minimalist or streamlined aesthetic, as seen in these trainers.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

While the specific product information provided is for a men's size, the BW Army Decon series features a design that is often considered unisex and can be suitable for anyone who appreciates the style and fit.

What is the COLD CEMENT construction?

COLD CEMENT is a manufacturing process where the outsole is adhered to the upper using a strong adhesive at lower temperatures, creating a durable bond suitable for casual footwear.

What is the benefit of the low padded collar?

The low padded collar is designed to provide comfort around the ankle, preventing chafing and allowing for a good range of motion during everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing significantly

Natural creasing is expected with leather. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole is designed for general use. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution as with any casual footwear. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.

Inner lining feels rough

The textile sockliner is designed for comfort. If it feels rough, ensure there are no foreign objects inside and wear socks to provide a buffer.

Care Instructions:
