FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Adidas BW Army trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities like running. Their construction provides good support for walking but lacks the specific cushioning and stability features of dedicated running shoes.

How do I clean the cracked leather finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For deeper cleaning, a specialized leather cleaner can be used. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the cracked finish.

What is the difference between this and the original German Army Trainer?

These trainers are inspired by the original German Army Trainer (GAT) but are a modern reinterpretation. They feature updated materials like premium cracked leather and enhanced comfort linings while retaining the iconic silhouette.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and suede upper are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a waterproofing spray for better resistance.

How should I care for the suede accents?

Use a suede brush to maintain the texture and remove light dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid getting the suede wet, as this can cause discoloration and damage.

What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

Standard everyday socks, whether made of cotton or a blend, work well. Ensure they fit properly to avoid discomfort or rubbing inside the shoe.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The 'Night Indigo' colorway features white, navy blue, and beige. While this specific model is presented in these colors, Adidas offers other BW Army variations in different colorways and materials.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Ensure you have the correct size. Over-tightening laces can also contribute to creasing. Consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Soles are losing grip

Check the sole for embedded debris and clean thoroughly. If the rubber is significantly worn down, professional resoling might be an option, though typically not cost-effective for fashion sneakers.

Discomfort or rubbing

Break in the shoes gradually. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure socks are appropriate for the shoe and fit well. Check for any internal seams or rough spots that might be causing irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly and are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: The Adidas BW Army trainers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of clothing styles, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Suede areas should be cleaned with a specialized suede brush or cleaner.
  • Protection: Apply a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather and suede to protect against moisture and stains.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
