FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing for men.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesive bonding the sole.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The BW Army silhouette is fairly standard; if you are between sizes, it is usually better to opt for the larger size.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from premium leather with additional suede overlays.

Are these sneakers good for gym workouts?

They are designed for lifestyle wear rather than high-performance athletic training.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff upon initial wear

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the material to naturally conform to your foot shape.

Surface scuffs on suede

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff the affected area in a back-and-forth motion.

Outsole loses grip due to dirt buildup

Clean the rubber sole with a mild soap solution and a brush to restore traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality leather and suede construction
  • Durable rubber outsole suitable for daily walking
  • Sophisticated monochrome black colorway

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your trainers in optimal condition, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For the suede overlays, it is recommended to use a specialized suede brush to maintain the nap and lift away dust. Store these shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
